A naturopathic doctor, Doctor Jill Evenson, discusses the philosophy of

information about every aspect of their patients' lives: including

digestion, which is a huge factor in your overall well-being. Possibly 
she'll take calls and talk with listeners.

FICTION JONES
3rd, 4th and 5th Fridays of the month, 11pm Midnight
Host Gregg Williard continues with "A Journal of the Blank Year", a 
non-sequential serialized novel with a style that crosses Proust with
Philip K. Dick. Although you probably won't want to miss a single

in whenever you can!
