from Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine · host Justin & Dr. Sydnee McElroy

Dr. Sydnee talks about the many instances of “star jelly” throughout history, what it could possibly be, and the effect it has on people – sometimes harmful, but mostly benign.Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
