Published: Oct. 8, 2019, 8:44 p.m.

b'PUMPKIN PUMPKIN! 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\\n\\nAnd here: https://www.amazon.com/Pumpkin-Folklore-History-Planting-Eating-ebook/dp/B07YLFR119/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pumpkin+pumpkin+copeland&qid=1570549807&sr=8-1\\n\\nA donation went to\\xa0Shriners Hospitals for Children\\n\\nSponsor links:\\xa0withcove.com/ologies;\\xa0periodbetter.com, code OLOGIES; betterhelp.com/ologies; HelixSleep.com/OLOGIES; Stitch Fix.com/OLOGIES\\n\\nMore links up at\\xa0alieward.com/ologies/cucurbitology\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com\\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/ologies\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/AlieWard\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by\\xa0Jarrett Sleeper\\xa0of\\xa0MindJam Media\\xa0&\\xa0Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
