“No dogs on the moon. No dogs in this episode.”A new guest appears on the podcast! Mal from Demigod Debut is allergic to cats and has never read the Kane Chronicles, but she loves and has a deep respect for cats, which is the only requirement for being on the Bastet episode. Other topics include ancient people being just like us, finger knives, great parties with lots of wine, pondering if the gods of the Riordanverse hang out with other pantheons, the complicated history of feline domestication, and a withdrawn academic article that ruined Darien's day. Note: Cat interruptions, which are usually edited out and saved for the Patreon blooper reel, have been intentionally left in to honor Bastet.Get more Mal!Demigod Debut: https://linktr.ee/demigoddebutPitt Crew: https://www.instagram.com/pittcrewpodcast/Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about death, animal death, and animal sacrifice.

Story 111: Horus is a Big, Fat Cheater
“You’re supposed to represent power!”This episode about Egyptian mythology also includes history about The Great Race for Mercy, during which Darien mistakenly refers to an important sled dog as “Fox” when his name was actually Togo. Deepest apologies. Those responsible have been sacked. Other topics include many Horus Variants, a Peregrine Falcon PSA, Young Horus as a symbol of hope, a very cool-sounding festival tradition that was probably pretty meh actually, strategic connections to godly iconography, a side tangent about sixth grade social studies, and Horus being a big, fat cheater. Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about gun violence, death, and the afterlife.
