BRF Episode 21: “Angel”

What would happen if human beings could really fly? Can they ever really fly? Also, how did we ever come to think of angels as humans with wings? Is it an angel or is it an alien? So many questions and one episode to answer them all!
Whether it’s an angel of mercy or an angel of grief, we know what’s up! Shar also went into the ridiculous physical requirements we’d need to have were we to comfortably take flight - let’s just say, we’d be the laighing stock of the mammal kingdom!

We also delved into the history of angels in human perception and it goes further back than you’d think it would! From angels that are pleasant to Angels of Mercy, who will mercilessly give you a shiver of dread down your spine! From the malignant and sadistic, to something quite raw and different - grief. The imagery associated with the Angel of Grief will be familiar to you, we guarantee it. Hear about the interesting history behind the first angel of grief and the artist behind it.

Ragini also played an interesting game of “Angel or Alien?”, going into the extremely interesting theories and histories surrounding this weirdly acceptable combination of things. Listen to the episode to find out more! And lastly, a little bit about the angels most familiar to us today - hello Victoria's Angels! We discuss the intention behind the ‘VS Collective’ - which we can’t decide deserved applause or laughter. What do you guys think?
