Om denne podcast
The Distracted Gardener is a gardening adjacent podcast. Sometimes it's a deep dive into growing a specific crop, while others it might be about the social and moral lessons to be learned from fungus. It's amateur science meets personal story time, and it's always with the goal of inspiring others to interact with and protect the world around them.
