Welcome to the Concern Corner, a special flavor of bonus episode in which we share interesting things we learn about all that stuff that we got goin' on.
In this episode, Lucy and Jesse discuss mushy peas and this paper by Fukuda et al. on the existential imbalance between unity and decay in the obsessive-compulsive mind. No need to read before listening unless you really really want to!
Not a bonus listener yet? No matter! We unlocked this one for everyone. Subscribe for just three beans a month to hear the episodes where we watch some dumb bullshit like The Grunch.
