    Bonus Collection G!
    Nov 19 2023
    So... my voice is still healing. Fortunately, there's enough material for a compliation episode! If you'd rather hear 45 minutes' worth of episodes a once, like a mini-binge but without hearing the theme song and stuff over and over, this is the episode for you.


    You'll find:

    45 -- Slide Me Some...
    46 -- No Planet B
    48 -- Dirty Seeds Done Dirt Cheap
    49 -- Weather Aboveground
    52 -- The Charge of Lady of Science
    54 -- The Auras of Stars
    59 -- Feathers
    60 -- These Are Not Plants

    This is also a great episode to introduce the podcast to a friend. Thanks, and enjoy!

    60 -- These Are Not Plants
    Oct 16 2023
    There are more types of living things in the world than just plants and animals. There are some things that seeeeem like plants, but really aren't. Maybe one or two have fooled you? Our rituals often use flora and fauna (or Flora and Faunus even) as a source of polarity, but let's take this opportunity to talk about some other organisms as well.

    Feathers this time! And OMG Y'all...this weekend has been a comedy of errors, some very time-consuming,and I'm only now getting this up. But it happened! Basil wasn't able to join us this episode, but he'll be back next month. I'm keeping this to a simple topic. Enjoy! And share with your friends if you do. :-)

    58 -- Special Guests: Bumbling Fools Mead
    Sep 17 2023
    Finally I have manged to get the guys who are Bumblng Fools Mead onto the show. You are in for a real treat; we talk about fermentation, but also roam from there into what does honey taste like without sugar, what was the first feremneted beverage, and a fascinating side bar about where mead does or doesn't fit into the law. Oh yeah, we talk about gods, too. ;-)

    Another treat is that we recorded in the brewing room/alchemist's lab at their meadery in NE Minneapolis, where you can stop in and try something delicious before you buy, and also play guinea pig for new recipes that aren't for sale. The people hanging out were clearly having a really great time, and they get a bit loud and rowdy -- but that just gives you a "you are there" experience, chatting in the backroom of the local pub. I hope it makes you want to visit.

    I'm very excited about this episode. Have a great time!

    57 -- River Cruisin' with Basil
    Sep 5 2023
    Hey, Labor Day still counts as "posted on the weekend", yes? Anyway, Basil is here and we're talking about rivers. It's crazy it took this long. I had more things I was gonna say but I just can't remember them now. It was super clever, too.... But hey, rivers are amazing!

    56 -- Diggin Dandelions with Basil
    Aug 7 2023
    Wanting to celebrate the Harvest but you don't have a farm, or even a garden? Well Basil's back, and we're talking about gathering wild food! How to get started, some tasty things, some caveats. I apologize for sounding rushed.... I was. Had a hard deadline on recording. Added to my enthusiasm on the topic, it's a very...energetic episode. Now I need to go have a snack and a nap.

    55 -- Teas and Tisanes

    Regular co-host Basil joins Lady River to talk about tea and Tea; why they are so useful, and why paring them with other preparations can be awesome or trouble. Some chemistry, some herbalism, some storytelling.
