Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed celebrating St. Patrick's Day this past weekend. As previous holiday episodes have been well-received, we figured why not do another and discuss luck! We will chat about how superstitious behaviors come to be, what random luck is, and how to increase our chances of luck. Good luck rainbow hunting!
