S1 E2 Eat Dirt
This week we get down to the nitty gritty as we dive into the world of Resurrection Men and tree people! We discuss what it means to be a person, 19th-century death situations, alien impulses that are the same as our impulses (when it comes down to it), good old-fashioned killer fungus, and the fact that murder is now, as it was then, in fact, illegal. We also talk about honing an idea into a theme with our listener question.
And, as an aside now that it is ‘next June’, KL! did not read all of those poetry books and is unlikely to in the near future. Additionally, Alli has also read about 30 library books this year and only one book from her bookshelf. #goodatthis
