PODCAST

Seedy Business

There"s nothing cozier than curling up with a seed catalog and dreaming about next year"s garden. Seedy Business is a relaxing, pathologically low-stakes chat between Allison, a biologist, and Roman, just some guy, about garden seeds and how they are marketed. Listen as we struggle in vain to suppress our natural inclinations toward vocal leftism and recreational vulgarity to deliver a soothing seed experience.

Hey all. We weren't able to record a new episode this week for the most boring imaginable reason: work obligations. Instead, we're posting Roman reading the first ten chapters of In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan, a post-apocalyptic fantasia of sorts, in which many of the physical structures in the described society are composed of the sugar from watermelons. He recorded it years ago for Allison to use in a class she was teaching that looked at MRIs of watermelons and the evolving depictions
