This week we learn about one of history's most charming and yet tragic birds. Dodos shouldn't be relegated to being the butt of jokes about obsolecense when it was humans who put them there and Afternoonified will nOT STAND BY AND LET THAT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

Thor and Loki are at it again! This time they need to figure out how to get Thor's hammer back from the giants... and the solution slays more than you'd think it would. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
This week is a descent back into the world of medical quackery with John R Brinkley. A man who, and we're not messing with you, managed to convince way too many people that goats were the answer to uh... manly vigor. Look, it's awful, it's disgusting and don't worry, we get to watch him fail by the end of it all. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Ever been in Europe and thought "Man, I could really go for looking at a lot of human bones right now." Great news! You can! This week we have some excellent Ossuaries where you can peep all the human remains your little heart desires. Note: I did want to title this mini The Church of 11,000 Sluts but tanking our algorithm seemed unwise. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
We're going to explore some of the more... colorful members of historical European royalty for this week of camp. Colorful in the sense that they had terrible families, deep seated mental illness or even all of the above. It's sad, it's silly, it's pretty par for the course with us! Special thanks to Middle Ages for our Camp theme song! Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Camp continues with an arts and crafts session that we somehow managed to make educational! We're learning about the origins and structure of Heraldic Coats of Arms and then helping Sara make one of her own! Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Camp Afternoonified is back in session! This year we're spending the month in Europe, starting with a grand circle (sort of) tour of the finest haunted castles the continent has to offer. We've got big pits, mutant rats and sooooo many angry lady ghosts. Special thanks to Middle Ages for our Camp theme song! Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
We're getting metaphorical this week as we get into cemetery symbolism (plants edition!!) Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Sure, you could pick up a copy of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood and learn about this devastating crime from that OR... you could take an hour and listen to us. This week we're breaking down one of the most classic stories in true crime and why you should always lock your doors and avoid head injuries (when possible).

As if you haven't had enough history lately, we're here with just a little bit more...but this time it's ART HISTORY. We're taking a look at one of the Netherland's most influential artists and painter of so many weird little guys, Hieronymus Bosch! Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
HEAR YE, HEAR YE we have another fantastic historical lady for you! This week we're taking a look at the life and accomplishments of Eleanor of Aquitaine as well as the failures of the men surrounding her! Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
In another exploration of things rich people do that we don’t understand, we’re taking a look at the Habsburgs and why in the name of god they decided to have their bodies buried in three separate locations.
Saddle up, pardners! This week we're headed out on a tour of the American Southwest and hitting up some of the spookiest places it has to offer (that were also on Emily's vacation road trip route.) Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Sometimes god really hit the nail on the head when she created an animal. AN example is the noble Potoo, in all it's muppety, shrieking glory. This week we're taking a look at this wondrous bird in all of its forms. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
We're trading our big hats for life vests this week as we get into a timeline of the actual sinking of the Titanic! Sure it's kind of a bummer that all of those people died, but we also get to hear some theories on what the last song the band actually played. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Emily's Fairytale Theater is back and we're getting into a Big One. Join us for the surprisingly blood and bird-soaked tale of one of the finer princesses, Cinderella. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Sara finally did it, y'all. This week we present the first part of two on the tragedy of the Titanic. There's... so much boat talk, ranging from her inception to construction to the start of her maiden voyage. Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
Due to some... minor technical difficulties with our next series, please enjoy this rerun that in no way has anything to do with the aforementioned series!
In 1986 near lake Nyos in Cameroon, over 1,700 people were mysteriously killed. I mean... mysterious until they figured out what happened and boy is nature weird.
It's a tradition because we've done it three times! This year Emily has scoured the internet and the history books for the who's who of Vampires, both fictional and... real. They're not fighting, just vibing and we're going to decide once and for all if Count Orlock's rizz is enough to negate his smell. Oh yeah, we also brought our resident Pop Culture Vampire Nerd Expert, Sadie on to help us. It's great! Find out more at http://getafternoonified.com
