The Psychic Logical Problem Solving Agency
Is the universe punishing my thieving girlfriend?
This week, listener Jake asks the PLPSA if his girlfriend’s terrible luck could in fact be the universe punishing her for her habit of stealing bits and bobs from shops, and even friends’ houses. Di nerds out with a full-on statistical study, and finds a selection of terribly helpful websites, where you can buy moth larvae, or order animal poo to be sent to your enemies. Meanwhile Sarah pulls three of the most dramatic and ominous cards in the tarot deck. Our Card Of The Week section offers advice to you, the listener, whenever and wherever you might hear it.
