Description
Spurred on by our special guest, Nathan reflects on whether he is "award winning" for a brief, awkward moment. Then Quadra Island dwelling and Order of Canada winning poet Jan Zwicky (and lovely human being) does a special reading of her essays and poems. From this, she dives into a discussion with Darby about climate change and accepting the mess we seem to be in. If you're feeling stressed out about climate change, chill out with some exquisite poetry and feel admiration for the boundless energy of nature in this moment.
If that still doesn't work, Jan and Darby suggest growing garlic and making garlic scape pesto, which is very good on pizza. You can get started with our Vancouver Master Gardeners' help here. Failing the garlic cure, you should get chickens.
Spooky stories and terrifying old poetry read to you by Anthony, who is very boo-kish indeed.
First up is The Haunted Dock by Clara Le Grand, which was a Spooky Scribbles Writing Contest winner last season. Spooky Scribbles is a writing contest sponsored by the Library and the Comox Valley...

This episode is a good egg for sure. Darby talks with Gabriola Island blogger and educator Claire from Bitchin' Chickens about all sorts of chicken topics. Then Nathan rules the roost at chicken trivia. There's definitely nobody here but us chickens today!
