Diana McCleery AKA Lady River is a Third Degree Priestess of 20 years, and a lover of the sciences since, so far as she knows, birth. She also makes arts and crafts, does voice overs, enjoys foraging for wild food, and in the summers has a job fighting children with cardboard swords in the woods, which is harder than one might think. A native of Memphis, she lives in Minneapolis. New episodes are uploaded every first and third weekend. See ya there!
