Episode 124 is loose, and it's an absinthe special!

We take some time to explore the history, myths and legends linked to everyone's favourite feared beverage, and tell the tale of Jean Lanfray who's love for the spirit proved deadly.

Is absinthe the root of all evil? How should it be served to entice the Green Fairy? And what do you do when it goes behind your eyes?
