Welcome to the 74th episode of the Science Witch Podcast!
In this episode, just in time for pride, Anjel and James talk to one of the favorite guests of the podcast, Amy Blackthorn and check in with them about what they’ve been up to with their new books, how plant magick can help save us from Late Stage Capitalism existential dread, how AI is horrible for writers, witches and pretty much everyone else, and we even talk a bit about being poly, queer, and shadow work. At the end of the episode we talk about our upcoming Trans Telethon 3, and some new offerings on the Pateron.
