Long Distance Call

2020 is so challenging that Eliza is looking for advice from unconventional sources. This week, she rewatched the adventures of Olive & Mabel the labradors. In episode 3, the dogs emerge from a fetid pond and "let the unpleasantness sink in". It seems like a good mantra for life. Also this week, how should white people respond to the Black Lives Matter protests? Eliza prepares to give herself a history lesson before the November election in America. And Geraldine looks for plants which thrive in dappled light. Join the conversation at the Facebook page "Long Distance Callers" or email at ldcpodcast1@gmail.com Thanks for listening!
