Amanda Laird is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist™ in Toronto and host of the Heavy Flow podcast. Her first book, Heavy Flow: Breaking the Curse of Menstruation, will be published by Dundurn Press in February 2019!

Today’s guest host is Pedro Graterol. Pedro is from Venezuela and is currently studying Political Science and Music at Linfield College. He’s on Twitter @pedrofromvzla where he tweets about current events and pop culture and, of course, polo-sci. He’s also on Instagram with the same handle which he says is mostly dedicated to classical music and is focused on the “behind the scenes process of playing an instrument” which seems very much up our alley doesn’t it?

Today’s guest host is Lydia Sigwarth! Lydia is a library assistant from Wisconsin. She’s going to tell you about some of the most morbidly fascinating (ha — see what we did there?) deaths in history. 

Today’s guest host is Chris Thrasher. Chris is currently working to get spotted lanturnflies out of the U.S., and tells me that today’s episode may be the first thing he’s put out in the Internet. Oh, and he added that in the event he makes something else someday, or y’know if like me you are very interested in lanturnflies, his Twitter handle is: @ChrisThrashr

Today’s guest host is Chelsea Gohd, a science writer and good pal of mine who is also an incredible musician. Her first EP came out this year and if you’re in and around NYC she’s on tour so you should see her live if you can. If not, get thee to Spotify or Bandcamp or wherever and download her album, Halfling. One of my favorite songs of hers will play after she does her segment (she doesn’t know this, though, mwuahah).

Today’s guest host is Jonathan Blade. You can follow him on YouTube Johnathanblade1, where he makes videos about “commercial tech-related content and film reviews, with a focus on mostly mobile editing.” He’s also on Twitter @Johnathanblade.

Is it fact or an .·:urban space legend:·. that you can't be an astronaut if you've ever smoked menthol cigarettes because it'll make your lungs explode?

When you have a medical procedure or test the hospital uses special codes when they bill the insurance company but they are VERY specific. And weird. See: V97.33XD: Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter.

Host Abby is currently having her wisdom teeth yanked out which means today's episode obviously has to ask: why the fuck do we have these DUMBASS teeth that are definitely NOT wise.

In the wild west a "gentleman bandit" named Charles Boles was known for being polite, robbing stagecoaches on foot instead of horseback, never shooting a gun, rockin' a dapper aesthetic & the poems he left behind.
