This week's episode is with the ever-effervescent Kristoffer Hughes. Kristoffer is an esoteric author, teacher of Death Midwifery, and Chief of the Anglesey Druid Order. Kristoffer and I discuss such diverse topics as growing up gay, The Middle Pillar, and what you should try if you think performing an autopsy looks difficult.
