The Less Desirables Recorded in The Such-N-Such Media Studios at Liberty Plaza.

Tim and Bethany kick off October’s “Witchy Month” by catching up after Bethany’s recent bout with COVID. The hosts share their appreciation for autumn’s transformative beauty while discussing the changing leaves as nature’s lesson in letting go. Bethany returns with major news from Top Leaf Cigar Lounge that’s been years in the making.

Tim previews his upcoming road trip to Pittsburgh for the first-ever “Asylum Summit,” where all four hosts of the Asylum podcast will meet in person for the first time. The hosts also discuss local updates including Liberty Street’s conversion to two-way traffic, Bethany’s organizational projects with Hannah’s Heritage, and her rediscovery of the downtown library’s community offerings.

Special thanks, as always, to Top Leaf Cigar Lounge, Soft Golf, Xia’s Asian Tapas, What Da Pho, Coffee Park Airstream, and X1 Communications. “A Girl Like You” by David Barker is the song of the week.
