Thank you SO MUCH to all of you "wyrdos".  We are so grateful for you!

The gals talk beer, dads, art projects, regeneration, food pantry protein, and more.  

The conversation is quiet and casual.  Crayons and horses.

The gals have a lively conversation, subjects range from Byron's book launch at Malaprops, Alicia's business ideas, some cool local spots,  and CatDog has a cameo!

A look back.  A look ahead.   We play a few clips & invite you to guess what the gals are talking about....

Omens, signs, feelings of dread and finally Helene.  

Then on to 2025!

Trigger warning--not for the squeamish or nervous.  Lots to be offended or upset by.  Yes, it's dark in Appalachia.  Take note.

Plans are forming.  Lists are being made.  Cards are being searched out and signed.  The old neighborhood has a new church service & Byron can't wait to attend.  We invite you to come listen and find out about the rest of it for yourself.  

We hope you enjoy this latest episode & want you to know that your comments, stories and donations have meant so much.  Things are not back to normal in our region yet and there is still a lot of need, and you are still rising to answer the call as you can.  Thank you!

The gals have a laid-back recorded Zoom meeting this week in which we learn that Byron's starting to watch Dune Prophecy. Alicia is eager to geek out with her about it & off they go..  Both agree that the sex detracts from the somewhat-complicated storyline.  We get caught up on the Temple's latest goings-on. 

Of which we are.  Grateful that is.  Thanks to you we've been here chatting away for a long time now.  Thanks to our listeners, many people who survived Helene go to eat, fuel up their car, be warm.  We notice and appreciate it more than words car convey.  So thanks not only for listening, but for being there when we need you!   

Please keep sharing with your friends who can handle it.  :-)

Phantasmagoria:  a bizarre or fantastic combination, collection, or assemblage.

From Google:  Prolonged stress can affect DNA by causing epigenetic changes, which are modifications to the DNA that don't alter the genetic sequence itself but can influence how genes are expressed, potentially leading to changes in behavior and health outcomes due to the altered gene activity; this is primarily achieved through the influence of stress hormones like cortisol on DNA methylation pattern.

This episode finds the gals inching closer to whatever normal used to be.  It feels vaguely familiar and also a little unsettling to be recording their plans for the upcoming holiday.  They talk about the Revelator deck & how customized it feels. We get some specific advice from Byron about the cards and learn that she'll be back  at Asheville Raven and Crone to read on Tuesday afternoons starting this week*.  Their conversation is easy-going for the most part.  You can tell they are glad to remember days gone by.  

Cartomancy: the practice of using a deck of cards for fortune-telling or divination.

He's like the government, he's listening.  

*It's probably a good idea to call and make a reservation if you want Byron to read for you. (828) 424-7868

Thanks for Listening!!
