Episode 2023-38: Birocratic & G Mills, Peter Bark, Lifeformed and more

September 18, 2023 Podcast
There is a tall green cactus in the foreground that loosely resembles a set of organ pipes, with some brown, yellow and green underbrush. The landscape is a desert, with a tall, quickly rising mountain in the not-too-far background. There is little to no vegetation on the mountain. The sky is blue with two white, fluffy clouds.
