102: The Fright Of Spring
Listen now
Description
Well our Spring Break theme month has taken a turn due to reality. But we will be here for you at Night Call, some of us calling in remotely, to keep taking your night calls. Pandemic talk leads to a condemnation of wellness grifters giving junk advice about Coronavirus and selling garbage dust. Then Emily has a serious q&a with a listener who responded to our call for doctors and medical professionals to give real advice about the crisis. But it’s still Spring Break March, so we tuck into the appropriately weird Stravinsky piece The Rite Of Spring and the riot-causing Nijinsky ballet. Also spring rituals from around the world and Molly’s Excellent French Canadian Spring Break.  Footnotes: - Moon Juice coronavirus protocol - *NIGHT CALL CANON!!!' - Alison Roman caramelized shallot pasta - The UCSF conference notes post, that Molly and Emily described and debunked, has been deleted since we recorded - Rite of Spring  - Nicolas Roerich - Circle Dance - Dancing in the Streets - Baba Marta Day - Marzanna - Maslenitsa (butter lady) - Explore.org Animal Cams Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
