87: Amulets with George (@Amnotocol)

Hyperfixations

Yada yada badabing, colonialism.

Trigger warning: this episode contains mentions or discussions of orientalism, discussions of sex and genitalia

What is an amulet, anyway? Anything can be if you try hard enough. Or at least that's what George says. He collects them so he's the expert here. This episode swings back and forth wildly between extremes, so buckle yourselves in folks, or else you might get whiplash! We talk about the enduring hope for humanity throughout time and then depictions of penises almost within the same breath. We also try and figure out the reason why we're so fascinated with Egypt as kids. Also you can randomly hear train related noises throughout this, so we've got that going for us.
