ASK PHILO Series 2 Ep 8 - CATCHING UP AFTER A LONG STORM, GRAMMAWs, AND SISTERS

ASK PHILO Series 2 Ep 8 - CATCHING UP AFTER A LONG STORM, GRAMMAWs, AND SISTERS

After far too long being cut off from Civilization or whatever passes for it around these parts, Philo Thibodeaux Headbecker-Neecap emerges from the regenerating swamp to bring you a slightly uncomfortably long update in which he talks about hurry-canes, burning swamps, regrowing swamps, redoubtable Postal Service workers, missing Grammaws, postcards from said missing Grammawsa, a "Manageable Number of Zombies" and a question from his good friend Trey which helps to raise awareness on a chronic medical condition not many people have heard of...


All this and possibly less in this edition of ASK PHILO.


Got a question for Philo? Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor.fm) users can send their questions right in the Q&A section, and others can send their questions in to POD@THEAQEQUATE.COM - Philo reads all the questions we can get to him via the US Postal Service (bless 'em) and will likely answer YOURS on the "air" if he hasn't already done something like it previously.
