Fabulous podcasts! Thank you. These podcasts are filled with information, plus they provide wonderful insights into your kindness, down-to-earth nature, and slightly snarky sense of humor. Love it all!

Someday, if you haven't done so already, I'd like to learn more about the "Lightning Bug" title of your Substack (or a link to where you explained).

The second interview with Dr. Robert Yoho was even better than the first, and both were super helpful. I especially appreciated the accompanying summaries in Dr. Yoho's page (https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/335-scott-marsland-tells-us-the-health).

(Though now you'll need to ask Dr. Yoho to use a white background with dark text on his Substack -- what a pest I am, but what a difference it made on your Substack.)

You’re very kind and thoughtful. Thank you.

Why Lightning Bug? Firefly was taken, but they are one and the same. I was born in September and my favorite time of year is when a walk in the woods at night is accompanied by the many insect and bird sounds, and if one is lucky,the blinking lights of the fireflies. The last four years has been an especially dark period in human history, and as with all dark periods, what has kept the human spirit alive is the fire keepers among us. I think the lightning bug is a good metaphor for those of us who have persisted against the odds and continue to try and shine our lights into the darkness.

P.S. Check out the Substack Note about these interviews (and, of course, let us know if you find any mistakes): https://substack.com/@bige47/note/c-80327801

Absolutely lovely explanation! Thank you.

We lived for a few years in New Jersey and ventured a few times to PA, where the fireflies and rhododendrons are among my fondest memories. Lightning bugs are, indeed, reminders of how wonderful and miraculous nature is and how much we should take the time to enjoy it rather than control it.

May all the firekeepers unite to bring light back into a very dark world!
