episode 120: Ghost Pipe and Eleven O’Clock Lady
Eleven O’clock Lady, aka Star of Bethlehem, aka Dove’s Dung, aka Sleepydick
The guest on this episode of rootbound is Hannah Vega! First, Steve discusses the concept of medicine (again). Then Hannah explains a ghostly plant that loves mushrooms. Steve talks about avian excrement, the bible and yet another weed in his lawn. Finally, we speculate about the meaning of biblical text in a non-religious way.
