Episode Details

In this first installment of our story of Ida Craddock, we cover Ida's Childhood, Education, and her nemesis: Anthony Comstock. Along the way we discuss books and learn how to pronounce the word lascivious. Karina decided to tell this story full of Menage a tois, Sweet Red Blend.  Randi comes back with another Black Cherry Hard Cider (and a Mr. Pibb ). Greg decided to pull all the stops this episode with an icee, a snake themed beer, and whiskey. 

These are the humble beginnings of Ida Craddock: the Woman We All Wish We Knew About Sooner.
