Karla and Alex start their podcasting year in 2025 by talking about the medicinal uses of garlic (obvioulsy), as well as discussing reading goals or the lack thereof. We discuss the books we've been reading, as well as the books we've been having trouble reading, and Karla has a genious recommendation for those that can't read long-form books (which Leigh also discussed in Episode 11).
