Happy Valentine's Day! Let's talk about love. Kind of. But not really. Not all actually. Let's instead, talk about how and why we humans have castrated each other and ourselves throughout human history. This one's not for the squeamish. But, I also can't remember laughing this often in any other recent episode! For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Short Suck #26 - Castaway! Stranded on an Island...
Can you imagine being stranded for years on a remote uninhabited island with almost nothing but a few simple tools and the clothes on your back?
