Rituals Exclusive: And That's Why We Drink & Parcast Debut New Podcast
The duo behind the popular podcast And That's Why We Drink, Christine Schiefer (she/her) and Em Schulz (they/them), has a new podcast premiering on Monday, March 21st. In Rituals, Christine & Em will take listeners through a tour of the dark arts. For fans of "Harry Potter" and Fullmetal Alchemist, we'll dig into the mysterious life of alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who was rumored to have created a real Philosopher's Stone that could turn metal into gold and grant immortality. This show will be the ultimate occult variety show, evaluating historical and contemporary stories involving witchcraft, sorcery, alchemy, satanism, spiritualism, and more.
