Episode 152B: Feast of Nightmares

November 19, 2023

In this episode, the hosts recall their recent experiences at Pickle Fest, a local event in Cave Springs, Georgia, celebrating all things pickle. They also discuss Cave Spring, a quaint town with attractions like fudge shops, antique stores, parks, and natural springs. In the latter half, they discuss eco-friendly burial practices, including the novel idea of natural burial at Ramsey Creek Preserve, the first natural burial ground in the U.S., and turning bodies into compost. The hosts also humorously discuss their preferred post-mortem arrangements, including mushroom bags, funeral pyres, and even 'chicken of the woods' mushrooms.
