Weed Saved My Life - Happy Hour - It's New Orleans

If you have any kind of mental illness and are on medication, Valley Rich has a way to get you off of all of your pills. You need to be prepared to accept the magic of marijuana, the power of your real self, and turn your back on the conspiracy of big pharma. There is a chance that you ll see demons and turn into a mermaid but then on the other hand if you re like Valley you might also get to star in a movie like She Was Famous, learn to play guitar and turn yourself into a singer songwriter all in the space of 9 months. Luke Winslow King makes a return appearance to Happy Hour with a rare lesson on harmonica maintenance, a how to primer on Google Alerts, a literally show stopping revamped version of an awesome original, and a duet with Andrew Duhon on a Sister Rosetta Tharp classic. Rene Maggio takes us into the murky underworld of Anne Rice, Singapore, and the strange forces that lurk beneath Facebook, fiction, blindness, and reading impairment that conspire to bring to life audio books and radio for the blind. Photographer Alison Moon brings us Christmas brownies and sugar cookies that, as we wrap up this show and this year, seem to be weed free. Then again, let s give it another 10 minutes to be sure about that... If you ve just found us or you re a long time listener to the Happy Hour podcast, from Producer Graham Daponte, Associate Producer Chris Kehoe, hosts Grant Morris and Andrew Duhon and all of us at INO Broadcasting who make the show Thank you for being with us 2015 was a great year for us.
