From the vault - Badger, Mushroom, Snake

Beneath the Canopy

03/17/25 • 42 min

A little bonus episode 'from the vault' (if you know you know).
In these shorter episodes we will chat about one specific topic. They'll pop up on your listening device every now and then as a lovely surprise.
Our regular listeners might know that we have a lot in common. And while we share the same favourite ice cream flavour and Taylor Swift song, we can also be each other’s opposites. For example, Orlagh hates mushrooms, while Cat loves them. And Orlagh loves snakes, but Cat is terrified of them. Today we will take a deep dive into our love and/or fear of mushrooms and snakes.

The title of this episode is a little nod to the 2003 Badger song. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI
