    We're bringing back the Wyrd-ness* with this older recording from 2019.  We hope you enjoy!

    In this episode the girls ramble about everything from chicken leg popsicle sandwiches to Gospel music. How does this relate? How do they get from Wyrd Mountain to the Cove? And how does Byron know that it was a truck driving by Billy Graham's sign? There's only one way to find out…Thanks for listening!

    It's Not Standard

    Episode Airs Sunday, 1-8-23    7pm EST


    The gals are feisty, oh so feisty.  We find out that Byron doesn't care much about....barbeque AND Chili (gasp).  Byron talks about her upcoming trip to Scotland and we learn that her upcoming festival calendar is even busier than last year.  

    Byron's favorites: 

    Onions, garlic, peppers, cabbage all sauteed together with alot of black pepper ground up in it

    Firm tofu toss with peanut butter and then toss in steamed broccoli.  sometimes i chop up onion in that too.

    Get a brie.  Put a dollop of some kind of jam with it & put it in the oven till it gets soft.
