A show about plants as viewed through the lens of evolution and ecology with a side of neurotic ranting, crass humor, occasional profanity, & the perpetual search for the filthiest taqueria bathroom.
Plant ecology, systematics, taxonomy, floral chemistry, biogeography and more.
Joey Santore was a degenerate railroader for 15 years during which he taught himself Botany by reading textbooks and research papers in the cab of the locomotive while stealing time from work. He has traveled to 11 different countries studying plant communities. He is the host of the YouTube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't and the host of the show Kill Your Lawn on EarthX TV.

In this episode I sit down withAdam Black about planting fruit trees in the park, how to save the honeybees, why invasive species don't exist, and how to properly apply a glue-on moustache and select proper attire so as to "fit in" when botanizing in West Texas. /s
Adam Black is a field botanist and researcher with Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories and Arboretum who has traveled to numerous continents and countries researching oaks and conifers (he has nothing to do with permaculture, that is just a sick joke on my part).
Before you whine about the ads (yes, they're terrible, I know), keep in mind that for a measly $5 a month you can have access to all the podcast episodes ad-free on the Patreon. The ads really are insidious, but your ability to hit the "15-seconds-fast-forward" button is key to otherwise ensuring that the sleazy morons that advertise on the podcast help support the podcast by paying to bark in the ears of people who will never buy their products. Fast-forward through them with spite and realize that it's supporting me to keep doing what I'm doing.
