Eris and Z are BACK and talking in-depth about half-person, half creature myths, like centaurs, mermaids, Celtic ceasgs, Mesopotamian kusarikku, and Chinese jiaoren. They also have a pretty frank discussion about the nature of enthusiastic consent, and where the lines of bestiality are drawn from an ethical standpoint.
