In this episode we discuss some listener questions -- and then took off on wild tangents until we ran out of time! Topics covered include: vegetarianism, Carmelites and red meat, the nutritional cravings of cows and human women, the qualification process to become a hermit, an update on Ann's kombucha habit, and an extended discussion on popular music, Sacred music, and opera. Oh -- and "Ball Mason" jars are a thing...
