Sweatah Weathah

Six months of weekly Fishes podcasts! This is episode twenty-six. A full classic television season’s worth of episodes. Thanks to all who have been with us so far, please keep listening and sharing with friends. We’ve also made it to September, the heat has finally broken and we can turn the AC off at night. There’s a whiff off fall in the air, we have a taste for pumpkin spice and spend some time discussing what we love about Autumn and dig even deeper about some physiological reasons why. We reminisce about our yearly family trips to Tanner’s Apple Orchard in Central Illinois. The apple cider cinnamon donuts and pickup football games with Dad. Nancy shares a story of how she and Tim (unintentionally) stole a bag of apples due to their toddler addled brains when Riley was little at an orchard in Indiana. Our resident green-thumb Kathy gets excited about planting Mums. For dinner, we share a Kuntz family staple recipe Wild Rice Soup. As Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph say on SNL’s The Bronx Beat “It’s sweatah weathah!” So let’s jump in!
