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.

If you haven’t heard the first two episodes on Baba Yaga, we recommend starting there. This episode is about contemporary references and iterations of Baba Yaga, so the historic context helps. Mostly we just talk about how much we love witches and sluts though. 

Love what you heard? 

 Here is a suggested reading list:

 Stuff You Missed In History Class: “Pisadeira and Baba Yaga”
Deviant Women: “Baba Yaga”
Mythillogical Podcast: “Baba Yaga”
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.) 

We hope you enjoyed hearing about Baba Yaga as much as we enjoyed researching them. 

Catch you on the Quimm side!
