A book about rocks/geology is referenced when discussing fossils.

Joy of Cooking
by None
Referenced during a discussion about possums. The speaker mentions that old editions of Joy of Cooking contained instructions for catching a possum, what to feed it in captivity (like oatmeal or grain mash to fatten it), and how to cook it. They note that newer editions removed this content and added things like couscous recipes instead.

by Michael Pollan
Danielle mentions 'reading Michael Pollen stuff' [sic - likely Michael Pollan] when discussing how she learned about food sustainability and made the decision to only eat meat that she and her husband hunted or fished for themselves. This was part of her journey toward eating more consciously and understanding food systems.
