RE: Out of Seeds, Birthday Cards, & Tripping Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

Dear Pennies & Pallers,

This week we bring you another episode from the Patreon archive!

We read a few shorter letters, including an update from Chris, who had been sending us seeds for a long time. Plus some birthday cards! Then we get to a letter from Sarah, who has written to us before about her haunted house experience.

Sarah tells us how she's been able to turn a corner since her traumatic brain injury, helped by the use of psilocybin mushrooms, and how she drove over 150 miles to see Dan's show after not being able to drive long distances! We wish you well, Sarah!!

Sincerely,

Your Pen Pals Daniel & Rory
