In this episode, AE and girlfriend Mona join with Mona's sister, Sara, to read "Stuffing" by Jerry Oltion (jerryoltion.com). First published in the 2006 Mammoth Book of Extreme Science Fiction , this story is about a group of photosynthetic humans who decide to rediscover eating just in time for the holidays.
Get your ears ready, sit back, and relax (unless you are driving) and enjoy this Thanksgiving/Christmas episode

The science fiction works mentioned in the post-reading discussion include:

"Hair" (2009) by Adam Roberts, a story about the development of photosynthesetic hair, which rebalances the class dynamic by easing the burden of poverty.

"Oral Argument" (2015) by Kim Stanley Robinson, which has the same premise but it's tattoos instead of hair.
