Hello, fellow nerds! On this week's podcast episode, we’re discussing chapters 6-7 of “From Blood & Ash” by ⁠⁠⁠@jennifer_l_armentrout⁠⁠⁠ !  

Listen in as we discuss why men feel a sense of entitlement towards women's bodies (spoiler alert, they shouldn't and need to stop it), as well as making sense of the differences between the Ascended, the Craven and an Atlantian. Just what does their bite mean and how are they each created?

Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Sweet Malessa". It can be found at ⁠⁠ournerdiestthing.com⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠instagram.com/ournerdiestthing⁠⁠.
