Mercury is in retrograde so I might cancel all my plans
This episode includes me believing in astrology, me not believing in astrology, and a BuzzFeed quiz reinforcing my kind-of, sort-of belief in astrology, which is of course not real. Do I believe in astrology? Me, a bisexual millennial artist? Listen and find out! (wow, very bossy, what an aries)...

The Mormon prophet thought barley drinks were cool, feat. Paul
Paul and I continue our talk about the LDS (aka Mormon) Word of Wisdom.

Soon-to-be regular guest Paul comes on to talk about growing up in Mormonism and the things that led to him leaving the religion in his late 20s.

Holistic vs Homeopathic
I try to come to the defense of the light yellow flag word "holistic" and I definitely don't defend the super red flag word "homeopathic." These two H words come up a lot in the alternative medicine world along with another H word, herbal, which I realized way too late in the episode to properly...
