Heh, "Eunuchs 69."

This gives me hope! I was reading some of Dianna Kennedy's ("The Julia Child of Mexico") books and she goes into some detail of the loss of heirloom varieties of different crops in…

I'm not a sleep researcher, so I'm not really qualified to say. I did poke around and find some papers on caffeine's affects on sleep, but there honestly wasn't (IMO) a huge amount…

Warning: ill-formed rant below I'm in my mid-30's and I feel like I've seen the change in my time. Some parents of kids my age were of the helicopter variety, but that was more of …

> By bedtime it is all metabolized. According to Pollan, for most people, there's still enough in your system to disrupt your natural sleep; your brain doesn't shut down enough to …

That looks like it, but I heard it in 2022 or 2023, might have been a re-run. I can't listen to it right now, but I remember in the program he was talking about publishing some of …
