River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid.

Folks, we had strong drinks for a strong language but it wasn't Vodka that sent us off the rails. For this fiasco we would like to thank Tequila. In this episode we discuss the folklore legends Baba Yaga and Koschei the Deathless. So, hop on your mortar and pestle and set your forest house to spin cycle or, in the spirit of Koschei, get naked and ride your faithful steed. No matter how you travel, we think you will enjoy this tale of two feisty and complex characters that appear in many Russian fairytales and are not your typical villains.
On second thought, riding a steed while naked is never a good idea. We recommend getting cozy in your favorite chair (with anything but Tequila) and allow your imagination to run wild as we unravel a fascinating tale!
