Welcome to this weeks episode of the My Slice of Life podcast where, for this season, we are diving into the folklore of trees and plants. This week we are talking about stinging nettle and the rowan tree. From witches, fairies, guiding lost hikers, to healing the sick, amongst other things, these plants have some fascinating folklore!
I did have a couple of technical glitches for some reason, so if you are listening to this (as opposed to watching on YouTube), at the 57second mark I’m actually saying ‘prepping’ and at 7mins 50secs, I say ‘chervil’ but it sounds like ‘kervil’!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
