In this fantastic discussion, Haley has come back to join Joe to talk about her all-time favorite book. Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer has become one of those late bloomers of books that everyone is talking about. And for good reason. We get a little hippy-dippy at times, but this book is not only worth reading, but talking about with everyone. Haley and Joe bring many of their personal stories of adventures in nature to add in with Robin's amazing tales.

A quick note from the editor: We apologize for the audio quality on this one. Between mics not working, recording in an echo-ey location where other people are walking in and out of, and the pickups randomly not picking up when the pair of hosts get excited and talk over each other, we had to soldier through. Haley, as always was a champ as we worked out some of the technical issues. But, the show had to go on, as Haley was volunteering her precious time, and we did not want to waste a moment more. So, we hope that you are able to forgive us on this one, this episode is worth listening to. A lot of fantastic topics were covered; and we only scratched the surface of what could have been said.

Next month, Joe is getting to give his last pick of the season. He is also swinging for the fences with one of science fiction's greats. He has picked Hyperion by Dan Simmons. This book is ranked up there with the Dune series, Culture series, or the Foundation series. So, a heavy hitter for sure. We will be posting our discussion for this one on December 5th, so make sure you have it marked in your calendars.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making). Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.
