In addition to our discussion of Litha, we fangirl over Josh Gates and all the current delicious summer vibes. There are various rambles about Nicholas Cage movies, how S’mores are sticky, how important vultures are to the environment, how to harvest dandelions for dandelion tea, and weird squirrels. There is also a brief rant about Bermuda grass … because summer!

Please excuse some of the background noise in this episode. It’s moving into summer and we are both running our air conditioners!
