    Episode Airs Sunday Feb 20 @ 7pm EST

    blood magic
    kids games that have historical beginnings
    do pendulums respond to personal physiology?

  • Death Disgust and Blue Emu

    The Wyrd Mountain Gal Show with Byron and Alicia

    Death, Disgust, & Blu Emu
    Episode Airs Sunday 1-30-22
    7pm EST

    When asked how she's doing, Byron replied "I'm just about getting by with prayer & wine'.  Did you know she will eat Velveeta before paying $500 lb for fine Stilton....although she does like a good Stilton...  They start out reminiscing about old Asheville, the black business district, the restaurants, & the music & meander through a few more topics before demonstrating the fabled 

    Appalachian Goodbye".  

    ***Trigger Warning-many gross subjects here, also, lots of death, adult subjects, porno, etc.  The usual madness for some, but if you're squeamish or catch the vapors easily you should not listen to any of it!  Seriously, you'd be much better off somewhere else.***

    Rewind - Mushrooms and Onion Sets - The Gross Episode

    Episode Airs Sunday, - 1-23-21 7pm EST
    -
    Byron & Alicia wax loquacious about the weather & the old way of forecasting by the signs.  
     
    They're gals in good form in this 1 hour episode. They've come up with a new term--"intuitive" podcasting, Byron discovers Clabber Girl baking soda & Alicia is gaga for the upcoming mushroom season.

    They both want to know about the rudest/most insulting thing someone ever said to their listeners & start it off by sharing their own stories..

    Did you know-->"It smells like early spring, which starts Feb 1st and it doesnt look like chicks and bunnies".

    Trigger Warning-some gross things, a weird mention of squirrel genitalia & paddling in school is discussed.....but honestly....if you listen to us regularly you're probably used to it by now....
