This week on Beyond the Burl, we kick things off with a few rounds of Mind Meld, seeing if we can think alike (with varying degrees of success).

Finally, we light up Captain Earle's Ten Russians and share our thoughts in a full blend review to close out the episode.

To close things out, we pack a bowl, light up, and share our thoughts on G.L. Pease’s newest addition to the Zeitgeist lineup: Metropolis
