SHOW NOTES:

Unfortunately our show notes are too big for Acast's margins to contain... head to the Transmission episode page to see everything in once place.

Corrections and clarifications:

Steve repeatedly refers to the Oak Tree as an "Acorn Tree" - which is taxonomically and linguistically incorrect, but as we only spotted the mistake in the final edit we left it as it is. You're smart enough to work out what he meant, right? ;)

Several people got in touch to say they've consumed a cashew apple! Our pal Simon Watt has tried it in a "caju" smoothie, and Christa Norton tells us that if you mix it with chilli powder it's a great alternative to lemon when you're doing tequila slammers.

Thanks for listening!
