b'HERE IS SOME SAFE, COZY COMFORT: a platter of pumpkins. We have a new episode up this week: Desairology (MORTUARY MAKE-UP) but if that\'s toooo spooky: This 2019 Cucurbitology episode is an Ologies all-time favorite. Also? It helped launch sweet, sweet Anne Copeland\\u2019s book to the top of the seasonal cookbook charts last year.\\xa0\\n\\n\\u201cPumpkin, Pumpkin!\\u201d is not only a thing to scream while passing a patch, but also the name of author and human delight Anne Copeland\'s gourd opus. Yes, she\'s so charmed by pumpkins that she dedicated a whole book to exploring their folklore, history, planting protocol, care, and cooking. On a lark, Alie stops by her house in the rural hamlet of Yucaipa, California to chat about everything from creation myths surrounding pumpkins to Anne\'s favorite recipes, how to make a pumpkin last longer on your porch, the secret medicinal properties of pipitas, why humans might need to go bananas on Halloween, how to propose via pumpkin, and the big flimflam Anne needs the world to know about the pumpkin origin story. Also: who is Jack and why does he have a lantern?\\n\\nAnne Copeland\'s book "Pumpkin, Pumpkin: Folklore, History, Planting Hints and Good Eating" is available via Amazon\\xa0\\n\\nAnd on Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/books/pumpkin-pumpkin-folklore-history-planting-hints-and-good-eating/9781719980982\\n\\nA donation went to Shriners Hospitals for Children\\n\\nMore links up at alieward.com/ologies/cucurbitology\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, masks, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/ologies or instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/AlieWard or instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
