Quimm History is a podcast about badly behaved femmes. 

“Are you doing a deed or fleeing a deed?” This month Charlie and Darby explore the ambiguous and ubiquitous Baba Yaga, the magical maven of Slavic folk traditions. from Slavic folklore. 

This is Quimm City Present’s second installment on Baba Yaga. Join us as we peek into the witch’s historic roots and literary context, while lamenting the ‘Lost Cast.’

 Myths and Legends: There are several that deal with Baba Yaga, but they just dropped a Baba Yaga focused one two weeks ago. (We have not heard it yet, but highly recommend this podcast in general.)
