Episode 5: A Short Cut to Mushrooms
On this week's episode, my guest (my sister!) and I talk about memory: how moming and remembering are hard to do, what we were like as children, and a deep dark secret about "borrowing" my sister's clothes.
We recorded this through a phone call and the quality is not great; apologies in advance! Thanks for putting up with the mistakes I've made in recording so far. I'll keep learning and getting better.
