Before there was Adam and Eve, there was Adam and Lilith! Hear the hot gossip straight from the Garden of Eden, and some of the best stories of this pre-biblical bad-ass. 
Dawn is joined by two Minneapolis besties who thought when they booked their tickets to LA from Minneapolis in January, they'd be escaping ice... In fact, they found they were taking a mere break from fighting I.C.E. Fall in love with Rhiannon and Shanan, artists from the Twin Cities and the best coven you never knew you needed to join.

The 'Father of Philosophy' and the teacher of Plato, Socrates was arguably the most important intellectual in human history. He was also a war veteran, a bad dad, and never wrote anything himself. So why did Athens kill him; and why do you and I still talk about him?  Buckle up for a hell of a HILF along with guest, comedian Nat Baimel.
