Your host Zelda Reed embarks on the first solo research episode after being inspired by a sudden barrage of unicorn imagery. From Medieval tapestries to Dungeons and Dragons to early-aughts randomcore, we go on an exploration of the original symbolism of these mythic creatures and how Christianity co-opted their fame. They're sort of like Jesus...but sexy?
