In this episode, the hosts discuss the events of The Magicians season 4 episode 2, including encounters with a frog King and a godly messenger.

Hello and welcome to The Magicians season 4 episode 2! This week, we lift the glamor (somehow or another) and say goodbye to our alternate personas. But not after meeting a debonair frog King, poisoning our ex-Dean, and flaying a godly messenger in Greece. Lots of puzzle pieces, but who the heck knows what the picture is supposed to depict. Thanks for listening!
