It is the most hallowed drinking day of them all, St Patrick's Day! Why do we celebrate? Why are rivers dyed green? Irish Bands? We attempt to answer some of your questions but really, its mostly just about the drinking.

We talk ancestral tradition, snakes, Chicago, cider and U2.

Also- Lena made us all a St. Patrick's Day Playlist! Find it here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6dWBIFpw2kRsqjKedQJxqs?si=Nx4yNimPQAOyTegwsahXYg
