Mermaids, Irish Moss, and Amphitrite

On the topic of magical creatures, Nick is covering Mermaids! From their origins, to weird fish sex...it's really a topic that has something for everyone. On that note, he's introducing Poseidon's wife, OG Queen of the Sea, Amphitrite. Shannon is covering Irish Moss, which is great for thickening stews and clarifying beer. She also talks a bit about carrageenan, and the debate around its role in inflammation. To support Wands and Fronds, you can join their Patreon!
