2 ABR. 2025 · This episode has everything: weddings, god-tier drama, divine bribery, a man named Paris who ruins everything, and a giant wooden horse that absolutely no one questions.
We’re finally telling the story of the Trojan War—aka what happens when the gods aren’t invited to the group chat and take it very personally. Grace walks Kelso through every chaotic beat, from a passive-aggressive apple to the downfall of an entire city.
Who started it? Who made it worse? And why is everyone making the worst possible choices?
Spoiler: If you thought this war was fought for love… oh honey.
Strap in. This is mythology’s most dramatic breakup.

12 MAR. 2025 · Alright, detectives—put on your finest deerstalker hats and grab your magnifying glasses (or just a stiff drink), because it’s time to hunt the Ripper! 🕵️♂️🔪
In Part 2 of our Jack the Ripper deep dive, we’re diving headfirst into the investigation—which, spoiler alert, was an absolute disaster. The police were overworked, under-equipped, and apparently way too cool with their boss taking a vacation in the middle of a murder spree. Meanwhile, newspapers were stirring up mass hysteria, and a bunch of civilians thought playing Batman would be more effective than actual law enforcement.
Then, we get to the suspects—and oh boy, this list is chaotic. From shady barbers and artists with a murder kink, to literal members of the royal family, everyone and their mother has been accused of being Jack the Ripper. But who actually fits the bill? And why do some theories make zero sense? So grab your murder board and prepare to get wildly frustrated, because this case has more red herrings than a Victorian fish market.

26 FEB. 2025 · Welcome to 1888 Whitechapel, the coziest little Victorian slum where the air is 90% smog, your landlord definitely sucks, and your best housing option might be leaning over a rope for two pence. Life is cheap, crime is everywhere, and if the rampant disease and street gangs don’t get you, well… there’s always that one guy who’s been slicing up women like it’s his personal hobby.
That’s right, folks—we’re diving into the world of Jack the Ripper! But before we start hunting for top-hat-wearing murderers in the fog, we need to set the scene. Who actually lived in Whitechapel? What kind of jobs did they work (spoiler: they were mostly terrible)? How did people survive in a city that had all the warmth and compassion of a haunted meat factory?
And then, of course, we meet the Canonical Five—the women whose names deserve more than just being footnotes in a serial killer’s legacy. They were people first, victims second—and today, we’re going to tell their stories.
So grab your gin, don’t trust any dudes with medical instruments, and prepare yourself for the worst housing market in history—because this is Jack the Ripper, Part 1 on Mythtakes Were Made!
