This fortnight we’re joined by Dr. Madeleine McLeester for a special love potion themed Valentines day episode. So whether you need a “bagger” to seduce your crush or you’re wondering how to interpret that graffiti on the brothel wall, we’ve got just the V-Day programming you’ve been looking for. We also talk about medicinal plants and landscape knowledge. So put out the roses, pour yourself a nice glass of sparkling Covassier, put the roses in a vase, and remember the reason for the season.
