Episode 23: A Frankenstein of Femininity

Episode 22: Hello? Is this thing on?
This episode is a little (a lot) different. Hayley is having some major internet issues and is also on the verge of a mental breakdown, so like a good big sister, Sydney steps in to handle things. Since there's no opportunity for witty banter, Sydney decides to share five quotes and give her take on them. It's just her talking into the void with her Benedict Cumberbatch painting, but fear not: the littlest Gemini will be back next week! Quotes: http://tiny.cc/ncvusz

It's the final episode in Hayley's dream series! She discusses the history of lucid dreaming and how researchers induce this in a lab setting. We'll also hear from Sydney's coworker and friend, Bridget, to hear how lucid dreaming affects those with narcolepsy. Oh, and by the way, hopefully you like cicadas... because they have a LOT to say on this subject, apparently. Sources: http://tiny.cc/hfyssz
