This week Francis is joined by Forestry expert and conservationist Calvin Norman to discuss the impact of the War in Ukraine on the local ecology, and the extent it's going to take to get it back up and running again. Calvin also shares some of his favorite existential horrors that are less 'How do I pay my bills' and more 'will this hamburger eat my brain?'

For this week’s DadChat, Nate and Francis discuss books they’re reading, which leads to an examination of how Nate wound up giving the work of Ursula Le Guin and Phillip K. Dick a try, and why he strongly recommends both. We also discuss childhood insomnia and recommendations for easy-to-manage herb gardens. It’s a DadChat package deal.
