Episode 10: The Fall of the Watchers
That’s right Dirtlings, we’re rewinding time all the way back to the hot mess that caused everyone except Noah and his Ark to be wiped off the face of the Earth! Join Ellsworth and Big Spoon as we fall from grace down the Dirtstar, discovering how two hundred rebellious angels became the catalyst for the Great Flood. We’ll discuss several key Watchers who decided chillin’ with mortals and gifting them forbidden knowledge sounded way cooler than their actual jobs, the awesome secrets bestowed unto humanity that we totally still use today, angel-human hybrid babies called the Nephilim and, of course, the one angel who ended up being the scapegoat, taking all of the blame for such abominable angel behavior: AZAZEL! (see Episode 1: Azazel to learn more about this desert dwelling demon).
