We always seek to educate and better ourselves at Lit & Liquor, and we like to think all our listeners reap the benefits of our investigations, trials, errors, and the occasional success.
This week, you can tune in and discover some rather fascinating information, like that Gypsies used it be called Egyptians because no one knew anything back in the day about anything, that impersonating said Egyptian AKA Gypsy was illegal and you could be transported to Australia for daring to do so, and that Edmund Kemper killed his grandparents when he was just 15 years old.
Whoops, sorry about that dark turn, but we felt it was best to dive right in. This week instead of a book per se, we found an interesting article about notorious serial killer Edmund Kemper and his work narrating audiobooks for The Blind Project. Naturally, we had to investigate. Combining the article with two episodes of The Serial Killer Podcast (which we highly recommend), a few episode of the Netflix show Mind Hunter in which Kemper is interviewed, and to cap it all off, we of course went down some deep dark Wikipedia, Reddit, Youtube, and other nefarious inter web black holes in our quest to bring you the best, if not most reliable, information on these and other topics. Grab a bottle of the appropriately named 19 Crimes Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon and maybe a friend for this disturbing episode and enjoy!
Next episode, join us as we do another blind tasting, this time with Tequila and, you guessed it, regretted all the things!
