Episode 79 - Mictecacihuatl - Day of the Dead goddess (whose name is real hard!)

True to form, I really effed up many names in this ep. I truly am not a moron, I swear. Both Lisa and myself look up foreign words and names when we research our topics and yet, one of us (not usually Lisa) manages to butcher all kinds of names and probably offend all kinds of people. What can I say? Lo siento mucho! In my defense, the Aztec language is very challenging and not all that similar to Spanish, which I am pretty good with. But enough whining! This week's badass woman is an Aztec goddess that you very likely have not heard of before, and very likely will not be able to pronounce -.Mictecacihuatl - So when you come down off your throne of judgement (haha I'm joking) give this episode a listen - just in time for Halloween, Samhain, Dia De Los Muertos, and all Saints Days!
