Each Disney Princess movie is set in a different time and part of the world. For many they are a first glimpse of history and cultures outside of our own. But have you ever wondered what life was really like for your favorite Disney Princess? Let's take a look at each of Disney's 16 animated Princesses, including the latest addition, Asha, to determine where and when they are most likely set. Then I'll match each iconic princess to a real-life royal woman from the same time and place. So we can get a sense of what life without witches, curses and singing animal sidekicks was really like. In some cases there are interesting similarities; Eugénie de Montijo really did go from rags to riches like Cinderella, Catherine of Valois was a sleeping beauty like Aurora and Mihrimah Sultan was a respected leader like Jasmine. So put on your ballgown and tiara, or strap on your armor and let's compare Disney Princesses to real history! Part 1: Snow White - Maria Anna of Bavaria, Archduchess of Austria Cinderella - Eugénie de Montijo, Empress of the French Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) - Catherine of Valois, Queen of England Ariel (The Little Mermaid) - Louise of Hesse-Kassel, Queen of Denmark Belle (Beauty and the Beast) - Maria Josepha of Saxony, Dauphine of France Jasmine (Aladdin) - Mihrimah Sultan, Ottoman Princess Pocahontas - The historic Pocahontas Mulan - Xiao, Empress of the Sui dynasty Part 2: Tiana (The Princess and the Frog) - Ariana Austin Makonnen, Princess of Ethiopia Rapunzel (Tangled) - Louise of Prussia, Princess of the Netherlands Merida (Brave) - Matilda of Scotland, Queen of England Elsa & Anna (Frozen) - Princess Eugénie of Sweden & Norway Moana - Nafanua, Ali'i of Samoa Raya and the Last Dragon - Trưng Sisters of Vietnam Asha (Wish) - Fatima bint al-Ahmar, Princess of the Emirate of Granada Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Tune in to learn how to separate your self-worth from your mistakes, view your losses as data rather than judgments, and turn your 2025 stumbling blocks into stepping stones for 2026.

Happy Thanksgiving to our North American listeners, and to everyone else, we hope things are going well for you! This month was Ian's pick, and he chose: The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo. This novel is part of a series (which Ian didn't know at the time), and follows Cleric Chih who is visiting an abandoned palace known as Thriving Fortune. While there, they meet Rabbit, a former servant to the recently deceased Empress In-yo. Rabbit tells Chih many stories about the Empresses' reign and her life as the wife of the Emperor of Pine and Steel. The Empress of Salt and Fortune is a tight, short novella that wont a Hugo. It deals with power, and vengeance, and ambition, and we had a great time reading and discussing it!    Next month's pick is Ronnie's (and the last of 2025). She chose: The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez!

Wearing an armoured breastplate, clasping a silver cross and seizing an Army spontoon, 31 year old Elizabeth Petrovna appeared at the HQ of the elite Preobrazhensky Regiment guards in St. Petersburg on 25th November, 1741 - intent on over-throwing Tzar Ivan VI (a baby), and seizing the Russian throne for herself. Although she was the daughter of Peter The Great, she was also illegitimate, and overlooked in the line of succession. But her coup was bloodless, and she oversaw a productive cultural period for the dynasty - including her role in selecting Catherine The Great. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly recall Elizabeth's fondness for food, fashion and f***ing; posit that her husband Alexis Razumovsky was a bit like Dolly Parton's beau Carl Dean; and explain why, if you're staging a coup, you should always slit your drums… Further Reading: • ‘Elizabeth I, Empress of All Russia' (Unofficial Royalty, 2018): http://www.unofficialroyalty.com/empress-elizabeth-i-of-russia/ • ‘Decadent Facts About Empress Elizabeth Of Russia, The Last Romanov' (Factinate): https://www.factinate.com/people/empress-elizabeth/ • ‘St Petersburg Palaces of the Romanovs' (RT, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3LRMZfmAsU This episode was first aired in 2021 Love the show?

In the third episode of our Norman Conquest series, we look at the life and times of the second of our claimants to the English throne in 1066: Harald Sigurdson, King of Norway. When a teenaged Harald's life is upended by Cnut's invasion of Norway in 1028, he builds a new life for himself as a mercenary in Kyiv, and eventually as an honour guard for the Roman Emperors themselves. Along the way, he'll have to contend with Arab armies, a sexually voracious Empress, and even a giant serpent. It's a pulpy, action-packed adventure story for the whole family! Assuming any of that is true, anyway. Which... eh. We'll get into it.

In this episode of the Cosmic Energy Report, Emily and Andrea celebrate a major milestone - Episode 100 of Emily's podcast, Things That Make You Go Woo - while diving into the fiery, fast-moving energy of Sagittarius Season 2025. They reflect on the emotional depths of Scorpio season, the heavy retrogrades, and the transformational eclipse cycle that set the stage for this moment of renewal. With humor, honesty, and their signature practical-mystical blend, they walk listeners through the astrological transits that ignite momentum, clarity, and a sense of possibility after a long stretch of inner work. Andrea brings in powerful card pulls for each week of the season, weaving in themes of grounding, confidence, collaboration, emotional fulfillment, and stepping into new identities with courage. From the Empress to the Ten of Pentacles, from the Seven of Wands to Judgment, this month's tarot archetypes affirm that a new cycle is truly beginning. Emily explores the planetary shifts shaping the month including Venus entering Sagittarius, Saturn stationing direct, Mercury regaining forward motion, the Gemini Super Full Moon, Neptune's direct station, and the Sagittarius New Moon. Together, they parse out how these collective energies may show up emotionally, relationally, and creatively and how to pace ourselves so we don't burn out in the holiday rush.  Tune in for a heartfelt, fire-lit exploration and to hear why Sagittarius season is the perfect time to test-drive your next evolution.

Ever pull tarot cards and feel like you're just...not getting it? Like you're missing something everyone else seems to understand?In this episode of Stay Magic, we're clearing up the three biggest mistakes that trip up new tarot readers (and even some experienced ones). This isn't about memorizing meanings or doing it "perfectly" - it's about shifting how you see the cards so they actually start speaking to you.You'll discover:Why reading cards as individual meanings keeps your readings flat (and what to do instead)How gendered interpretations of cards like the Empress and Emperor limit what you can see in your readingsWhy the court cards don't have to be about people (and what they're really showing you)The one truth about tarot that will take all the pressure off: you literally cannot get it wrongThis is your permission slip to stop overthinking every card pull and start trusting what you see in the stories unfolding in front of you. Because here's the truth: tarot is a tool for creating energy, not responding to it - and these shifts will help you use it that way.Ready to deepen your tarot practice?

Crystalline DNA Activation is an energetic technology of remembrance, a multidimensional initiation into your original divine blueprint of health, light, and multidimensional intelligence. This Transmission reawakens the dormant crystalline strands of your DNA, restoring the template of divine perfection encoded within every cell of your body. As the frequencies unfold, your system begins to recalibrate to hold more light, more life force, and more divine intelligence.   You are becoming the embodied frequency of divine design. Each Transmission is a multidimensional session that interacts directly with your energy field, nervous system, and cellular architecture, recoding your system into higher coherence with Source consciousness.   Through a precise fusion of binaural entrainment, subliminal reprogramming, and crystalline energetic coding, the Transmission opens an active field that performs real-time energetic activation while you listen. You are being upgraded, energetically, neurologically, and vibrationally. Every frequency, silence, and pulse is encoded with divine intelligence that knows exactly where to travel within your energy system.   Each layer of this Transmission is engineered to: Synchronize your brain hemispheres and drop you into Theta–Delta frequency for deep integration. Activate dormant DNA strands and crystalline light structures within your cells. Recode ancestral and karmic imprints stored in your genetic memory through sound and vibration. Transmute density and distortion through high-frequency resonance. Anchor the divine blueprint of vitality, wholeness, and multidimensional intelligence into your body. Strengthen your nervous system's ability to hold and integrate higher frequencies of light. This is energy work disguised as sound, living consciousness encoded into audio form. Each tone, pulse, and layer of silence carries crystalline intelligence that works beyond your conscious awareness, reconfiguring your system into divine coherence.   Through layered light codes, binaural synchronization, and energetic recoding, this session: Reactivates the 12-Strand Crystalline Template within your DNA. Restores your original divine design and clears distortions from ancestral programming. Aligns your cells to the higher blueprint of vitality, regeneration, and multidimensional awareness. Bridges matter and spirit, allowing Source intelligence to communicate freely through your biology. Expands your consciousness to embody divine remembrance, the knowing that you are the living code of light. Anchors the frequencies of divine love, truth, and power through every strand of your being. It is a quantum re-sequencing, re-patterning your relationship with your body, your energy, and the field of creation itself.   Each playback deepens your embodiment as a Crystalline Human, radiant, coherent, and alive with divine intelligence.   Ways to Work with This Transmission Meditation Journey Sit or lie down comfortably. Close your eyes and breathe slowly. Let the sound guide you into a deep Theta state where your DNA and light body can fully receive the codes. Energetic Calibration in the Background Play softly while you rest, create, or sleep. The frequencies will continue to activate your field at the subconscious and cellular levels. Morning or Evening Ritual Listen at sunrise or before sleep to align your system with the highest frequencies of light integration. Healing or Integration Support Use after energy work, emotional release, or deep transformation to stabilize new light frequencies in the physical body. Daily Activation Practice Combine with breathwork, visualization, or journaling to deepen embodiment and integrate new consciousness patterns.   How to Work with Intention Before pressing play, speak your invocation aloud or in your heart: “I now open to receive the Crystalline DNA Activation codes of divine remembrance, to fully embody my original blueprint of light and perfection.” Allow the sound to work beyond the mind. When the Transmission completes, rest or journal to integrate the energetic upgrades. Repeat daily or intuitively until the new coding feels fully embodied.   Integration Disclaimer These Transmissions initiate deep energetic realignments. You may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, emotional release, vivid dreams, or fatigue as your system reorganizes to hold more light. This is natural. Honor your process with rest, hydration, nature, and grounding. Your energy field is literally reconfiguring to embody the next evolution of human consciousness.   Best experienced with headphones to receive the full binaural synchronization and subtle crystalline layers.    

What happens when one of the world's most well-known spiritual teachers turns her back on everything she built? And what can we learn from it?   In this episode, I share my raw reflections after reading Doreen Virtue's book Deceived No More, a journey that stirred deep inquiry into the path of false light, spiritual sovereignty, and the rise of fear-based doctrine disguised as salvation.   Doreen's story is one that many of us were impacted by. Her teachings were pivotal for me, and for many of you listening. So when she renounced it all to follow a fundamentalist Christian path, I had to understand… why?   This isn't about judging her choices, it's about exploring the deeper layers behind these spiritual pivots. What leads someone to abandon a lifetime of healing work? Is it true spiritual revelation… or the exhaustion of carrying it all alone?   We dive into the rise of false light, the distortion of Christ Consciousness, and what it means to walk a path of true divine connection, one rooted in empowerment, not fear.   f you've ever questioned your spiritual path, felt confused about teachings that once felt like truth, or needed permission to reclaim your own knowing, this episode is for you. You get to trust yourself. You get to be sovereign in your connection. And you don't need fear to lead your spiritual walk.   Let's walk through this together, lovingly, honestly, and with deep reverence for truth.   If this resonates, share your thoughts below and let me know what stood out to you most.

At 8 a.m. Kutuzov rode towards Pratzen Village. He took command of a regiment he came across and led it into the Village.  The other columns were advancing towards a massive valley, where the battle was picking up.  Andrei, who was among Kutuzov's suite, was in a state of constrained excitement.  He was convinced this day would be his Toulon, the battle that made Napoleon. Andrei's motivation to be hero of this world was at an apex.  He would give his life, his family, even his soul, to be admired.   Andrei was keen to troop positions and analyzing how the battle would develop. He could hear musket fire from the valley but could only visualize a sliver of the action. He sensed where the major fighting would concentrate and imagined leading a regiment while hoisting a Battle Flag, perhaps dropped by someone in the units he was observing. He envisioned charging forward with the Standard, breaking the will of the enemy.  Nevertheless, he accepted his battle plans were never considered and it was full steam ahead with the attack attributed to General Franz Von Weyrother.    Andrei took in a clear sky that was still somewhat dark. In the East, the sun was rising.  Well in front of him were some wooded hills. He figured the French were within those woods. He could see the gleaming of bayonets as soldiers advanced into that obscured area.  He also observed masses of cavalry disappear in the fog.  All around him moved infantry.  Kutuvoz reached the edge of the Village and observed various troops pass. He was irritated by their disorganization. He scolded a commander, noting it would be better to go around the Village in a less visible movement, to not show off their numbers. He noticed Andrei when an Austrian officer was asked about the advance.  Kutuzov ignored the inquiry and his caustic feelings softened upon seeing his adjunct.  He told Andrei to find the third division, tell it to halt and confirm whether sharpshooters and skirmishers were posted.   He believed the enemy was close and the troops needed to bunker down.  Andrei galloped off and overtook various battalions and spoke with a colonel of the third division, who was surprised at Kutuzov's order.  The colonel felt placing rifleman was a waste. He was under the impression there were a multitude of allies between them and the French, who were believed to be six miles away.  Andrei reported this to Kutuzov, who is presented as a stodgy old man going against the grain of command.  Kutuzov soon noticed the pageantry of the approach of the two Emperors, who approved of the aggression.  Tolstoy explores a fictional but quite symbolic meeting between the three.  Kutuzov rode up to the Emperors and became uncharacteristically deferential. The Czar quickly grasped the presentation was not authentic and was offended. Alexander appeared thinner after the brief illness cause by experiencing the reality of War.  Yet he is described as an energetic good-hearted youth possessing the essence of majesty. Emperor Francis is described as stoic as well as having a rosy complexion and long face.  Alexander was surrounded by some famous historic names, including: Adam Czartoryski, Nikolay Novosíltsev and Pavel Strogonov. Tolstoy contrasts their perceived brilliance and energy with Kutuzov's age and demeanor. Alexander's clique is compared to a whiff of fresh air.    The Emperor address a critical question to Kutuzov: “Why aren't you beginning, Michael Ilariónovich?”  Kutuzov responds, “I am waiting, Your Majesty, as not all the columns have formed up.” The Czar did not like the reply and noted: “You know, Michael Ilariónovich, we are not on the Empress' Field where a parade does not begin till all the troops are assembled.” Kutuzov then retorts with a degree of defiance,  “That is why I do not begin, sire, because we are not on parade and not on the Empress' Field.” The Emperors' aides exchanged looks expressing reproach.  A silence permeated for about a minute, where the Czar looked intently into Kutuzov's eyes.  Kutozov eventually deferred, saying he would proceed if commanded.  Soon enough, all the troops again began to move, with a number having the honor of passing the two Emperors.  One column was led by Mikhail Miloradovich and included an Azerbyzioni regiment, who the Emperor called out to and encouraged.

This greatest of Christian orators is commemorated not only today, but as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs (with St Basil the Great and St Gregory the Theologian) on January 30.   He was born in Antioch to pious parents around 345. His mother was widowed at the age of twenty, and devoted herself to rearing her son in piety. He received his literary and oratorical training from the greatest pagan teachers of the day. Though an illustrious and profitable career as a secular orator was open to him, he chose instead to dedicate himself to God. He lived as a monk from 374 to 381, eventually dwelling as a hermit in a cave near Antioch. Here his extreme ascetic practices ruined his health, so that he was forced to return to Antioch, where he was ordained to the priesthood. In Antioch his astonishing gifts of preaching first showed themselves, earning him the epithet Chrysostomos, "Golden-mouth", by which he became universally known. His gifts became so far-famed that he was chosen to succeed St Nectarius as Patriarch of Constantinople. He was taken to Constantinople secretly (some say he was actually kidnapped) to avoid the opposition of the Antiochian people to losing their beloved preacher. He was made Patriarch of Constantinople in 398.   Archbishop John shone in his sermons as always, often censuring the corrupt morals and luxurious living of the nobility. For this he incurred the anger of the Empress Eudoxia, who had him exiled to Pontus in 403. The people protested by rioting, and the following night an earthquake shook the city, so frightening the Empress that she had Chrysostom called back. The reconciliation was short-lived. Saint John did not at all moderate the intensity of his sermons, and when the Empress had a silver statue of herself erected outside the Great Church in 403, accompanied by much revelry, the Patriarch spoke out against her, earning her unforgiving anger. In 404 he was exiled to Cucusus, near Armenia. When Pope Innocent of Rome interceded on his behalf, the imperial family only exiled him further, to a town called Pityus near the Caucasus. The journey was so difficult and his guards so cruel that the frail Archbishop gave up his soul to God before reaching his final place of exile, in 407. His last words were "Glory be to God for all things."   Saint John Chrysostom is the author of more written works than any other Church Father: his works include 1,447 recorded sermons, 240 epistles, and complete commentaries on Genesis, the Gospels of Matthew and John, the Acts of the Apostles, and all the Epistles of St Paul.   His repose was on September 14, but since that is the date of the Exaltation of the Cross, his commemoration has been transferred to this day.

In this session, Athina Krol reveals the sacred art of Isis Sexual Alchemy, a feminine, devotional path of divine union, and how it differs from modern Sex Magick practices.   This session takes you into the ancient Egyptian mystery schools where sexual energy wasn't used for external manifestation or desire, it was a sacred alchemy of creation, purification, and divine remembrance. You'll understand why these teachings were suppressed, how they are being reawakened through the Priestess lineages, and how to begin reclaiming this sacred power within your own body.   Athina shares how sexual alchemy works as a process of inner transformation, activating the heart–womb current, purifying ancestral imprints, and aligning your sexual energy with divine service. This is not about manipulation of energy, it's about becoming the vessel for the frequency of Ma'at: truth, integrity, and cosmic harmony.     We Cover •Understand the true purpose of sexual alchemy as taught in the Isis Temples, inner union, remembrance, and service to the Divine. •Learn how modern Sex Magick focuses on external manifestation, while Isis Alchemy refines energy inward for spiritual awakening. •Explore how the feminine body is already the temple, designed to channel and hold divine frequencies. •Discover the importance of purification, activation, and heart–womb alignment as the foundation of sacred sexuality. •Uncover how trauma, lineage wounds, and energetic imprints can block your creative power, and how to clear them. •Remember that true power flows through Ma'at, truth, harmony, and divine integrity. •Reconnect to your divine feminine energy as a current of creation, healing, and abundance.   Ready to walk the Priestess Path? Join the Isis Ka Practitioner Program to awaken your Ka body, clear deep energetic imprints, and embody your divine feminine power.   Learn more here.   If this transmission resonates with your soul, share your reflections below.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Kaledora Linn, Co-founder and “Empress of RWAs” at Ostium, joins to break down the rise of on-chain equity perps, the funding-rate chaos that hit 365%, and why she believes the next wave of tokenized assets won't come from exchanges—but from structured liquidity markets. We dive deep into Ostium's hybrid CFD model that blends TradFi mechanics with on-chain transparency, explore why most retail traders can't stomach perp carry costs, and debate what “safe leverage” could look like in an RWA world. The panel also touches on CZ's presidential pardon and Coinbase's new Echo platform, connecting the dots between political optics, capital formation, and how crypto's product design is evolving beyond speculation. Whether you're building perpetual DEXs, tokenizing RWAs, or just trying to survive the next funding-rate spike, this episode unpacks how market design, UX, and regulation will shape crypto's next trillion-dollar frontier.

Text usTonight's episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special drifts into that uneasy territory where folklore, rumor, and reality blur together.

What begins as an unremarkable story soon twists into something much darker, something that feels too personal, too vivid, and too specific to be entirely fabricated.

Text usTonight's episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special descends into the fractured mind of a grieving war widow in “The Shattering,” written by Olivia Gates. What begins as a quiet portrait of loss soon splinters into something far more unsettling—a slow, creeping unraveling of perception and memory that blurs the line between grief and madness.As reality slips through the cracks, we're left to wonder: is she being haunted by her husband's ghost, or by her own unraveling mind? The Shattering is a chilling study of sorrow, guilt, and the terrifying fragility of the human psyche—where nothing is quite as it seems, and every reflection hides another fracture.This episode was: Produced by Mickie Eberz Narrated by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis) Written by Olivia Gates Original music by Empress The closing song is “In the Name of Love” by Empress.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

He was bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia of Asia Minor, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, a persecutor of Christians. During a pagan festival, Abercius was instructed by an Angel to throw down the idols of Apollo and other pagan gods. When his work was discovered, the people of the city were outraged; but instead of hiding, the bishop went to the marketplace and openly confessed the Christian faith. The people grew angrier still, but when Abercius healed three possessed men they were amazed and listened to him more closely. He preached the Faith with such power that the entire city and surrounding countryside became Christian.   These miracles reached the ears of the Emperor, whose daughter was suffering from demonic possession. The Emperor summoned Abercius to Rome, where he was enabled to cast out the spirit and perform several other miracles. The Empress offered him a large reward of gold for healing her daughter, but he would not accept it. On his way home, he was instructed in a vision to travel to Syria. He travelled first to Antioch and surrounding cities, then as far as Mesopotamia, proclaiming Christ and teaching the faith everywhere he went. No other bishop of his time travelled so widely in the service of the Gospel; for this reason he is called Equal to the Apostles.   After several years he returned to Phrygia, where he lived the remainder of his life in peace, shepherding his flock.

Queen Mary I is the first undoubted queen regnant in English, later British history, but four hundred years before the crown was placed on her head, another woman attempted to get there first, she was Empress Matilda, the daughter of King Henry I of England, who had been named by her father as the rightful heir to the throne. Upon Henry's death, Matilda was robbed of her throne when her cousin, Stephen snatched it from right beneath her feet. To discuss this utterly remarkable woman with me, I am pleased to welcome historian Dr Catherine Hanley onto the podcast for the first time. Catherine's biography of Matilda, Matilda, Empress, Warrior, Queen, acts as the basis for our conversation, so settle in, and get comfy, as we explore the life of the woman who should have been Queen Matilda

In this episode of Hoes Throughout History, we dive deep into the unhinged, unstoppable, and undeniably iconic life of Empress Wu Zetian — the first and only female emperor of China. From concubine to supreme ruler of the Tang dynasty, Wu played the political game like a damn chess master while rewriting what it meant to be a woman in power...and the brutal rumors spread by salty men who couldn't handle her crown. Was she ruthless? Sure. Revolutionary? Absolutely.

Text usTonight's episode — Marked for Death by Jay Darkmoore — follows a man on a fog-heavy night in the Irish countryside who runs headfirst into far more than he bargained for. The story leans into isolation and atmosphere: low visibility, old roads, and the way a landscape can feel suddenly hostile when you're the only moving thing in it. Expect a tight, mood-driven piece where small choices and strange moments stack up into something with real teeth; it's less about sensational set pieces and more about how a single night can tilt a life into a different, darker register.Production credits: Guest host & story by Jay Darkmoore. Produced by Mickie Eberz and Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis). Edited by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis). All original music written and performed by Empress.Closing track: Pouring Down on You by Empress.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

Text usLeon Cowles, a Portland resident, recounts a hike through Forest Park that turns from ordinary to quietly menacing. At the Witches House—an infamous local gathering spot—he finds signs of recent occult activity: arranged offerings, scorched earth, and symbols carved into bark. The discovery unsettles him, but it's what comes later that tightens the knot: while moving through the trees he becomes aware of something large moving just out of sight, circling him without revealing itself. The story hangs on atmosphere and escalating dread—the ordinary sounds of the trail become threatening, landmarks feel wrong, and the presence in the woods never fully appears, leaving a sustained sense of being watched and narrowly unmoored.Credits: Produced by Mickie Eberz. Narration by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis). Story/first-person account by Leon Cowles.All original music written and performed by Empress.Closing track: Pouring Down on You by Empress.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
