The Slacker Factor Podcast, Episode 31: Amid Hungry Amish
Episode 31: Harmonious yet eclectic is probably the best way to describe the conversations and consternations of this podcast. Your favorite Slackers move from the intensity of dealing with food allergies to the conservatism of protestant religious communities to the 80s Bauhaus throwback music of Slove. Always something to learn, always something to share; thanks for always listening.
