I’m looking for great podcasts on Law, applicable to an English LLB undergraduate (who may be my daughter). Any thoughts?
Bonus points if your thought comes with a cat photograph.

Amazingly varied potato discourse
Contemplating Thanksgiving Dinner tonight in Hall, I'm wondering why it's traditional for Americans to eat mashed potatoes with turkey on this night? Aren't roast potatoes nicer?

English bluebells are ridiculously invasive, & if left to their own devices over a short period of time, let’s say 1,000 years, take over completely. One mistake, deliberate or otherwise, & they are gone
