Climate Change got you down? Worried about the fact that *everything* seems to be getting worse? Wondering how we got to this point in the first place, and what can we do to build a more resilient future? We take a look at historical pastoral & agricultural societies to see what worked and what didn’t, as well as what resources we have today to make better decisions to build equitable systems. We don’t just discuss ecology and history but also take a leftist perspective on prepping, foraging, homesteading, weapons, community-building, and basically anything that needs discussing during late-stage capitalism.

Join us for a captivating exploration into the world of the evening primrose, a fascinating plant known for its resilience and unique characteristics. We kick things off by unraveling the botanical intricacies of the evening primrose family, highlighting its ability to thrive in disturbed habitats like roadsides and abandoned fields. Our humorous take on the transcription service's interpretation of our podcast's name, including a playful nod to New Jersey's pork rolls, sets the tone for an engaging episode. As we celebrate the evening primrose's remarkable seed viability and adaptability, we also touch on its misunderstood status as a weed, likening its persistence to a civilization's industrial waste.
Listen in as we explore the historical and genetic journey of the evening primrose. With a nod to its native roots in North America, we discuss how indigenous peoples, particularly the Cherokee, utilized the plant's roots for sustenance. We reflect on the evening primrose's journey to Europe in the 19th century and ponder the French fascination with root crops. The conversation humorously speculates on the potential advancements in genetic technology inspired by the plant's unique traits, adding a playful twist with terms like "CRISPR technology" and "cruncher technology."
Our discussion takes an intriguing turn as we examine the evening primrose's genetic conservation mechanisms, focusing on its balanced lethal genes and chromosome rings. We consider the plant's historical significance in indigenous diets and its ecological impact, drawing comparisons to other plants like groundnuts.

Welcome to the quirky and educational world of sunchokes, affectionately dubbed "fartichokes," as we explore their rich history and surprisingly gassy reputation. We start with a playful idea of turning a chicken coop live stream into a comedic business venture before diving into the fascinating journey of the Jerusalem artichoke. From their roots in Native American cuisine to their adoption in European gardens, these tubers have traveled through cultures and languages, picking up a humorous misnomer along the way.
Embark on a whimsical journey with us as we unravel the tangled tale of the sunchoke's many names, featuring Italian, Dutch, and Scandinavian twists. Discover how these misinterpretations and cross-cultural mix-ups led to the plant's curious collection of monikers. Meanwhile, global breeding programs and ambitious, if somewhat far-fetched, dreams of energy production spotlight the sunchoke's surprising adaptability and persistent allure.
Wrap it all up with an amusing look at the health benefits of inulin, the prebiotic powerhouse that gives sunchokes their notorious reputation. We ponder if modern gut health might one day tame the infamous side effects these tubers carry. With a nod to the idea of reducing government sizes in a playful way, we leave you with a hearty laugh and an invitation to see sunchokes as more than just a misunderstood vegetable. Whether you're a history buff, a gardening enthusiast, or simply love a good chuckle, this episode offers something for everyone.
