| 0:00.0 | Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored. |
| 0:12.0 | All the broken and shunned creatures. |
| 0:17.7 | Someone's got to care for them. |
| 0:20.0 | Who shall it be if not us? Yes. |
| 0:26.0 | Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from |

| 2:15.9 | Neither Durney nor I are doctors or even shamans. So inevitably we cover big health areas like pregnancy and depression and |
| 2:24.9 | substance abuse and not a single word of it constitutes medical advice in any |
