Episode 17: Harvests Throughout History
Our sincerest apologies for the looooong unintended hiatus before the release of this episode. This semester really got the best of us (mostly Gillian) and I dropped the ball on this episode. Very sorry about that! “Peas” forgive us. Hope you still enjoy :)
Yes, we took a break, but we’re “bok” now. In this episode (recorded way back in October… and supposed to be released then), Kelsey, Lulu and Gill talk about all things agricultural. We wanted to do a fall-themed episode, and so “lettuce” tell you about different types of agricultural practices that one doesn’t always hear about. When you hear “harvest” do you only think of cornucopias overflowing and square patches of land? If so, come learn about some other practices that were used for millenia! And learn a fun fact about potatoes to tell your friends. There is also a mini interview included with the lovely Chelsea Klinke. This episode can’t be “beet.”
