Hi everyone! I’m here to let you know that Free the Seed! is returning soon for its third season. This time around, I’ll be talking with plant breeders Edmund Frost, David Podoll, and Jonathan Spero about butternut squash, onions, and sweet corn. Irwin Goldman and Claire Luby will be joined by Petra Page-Mann for a more in-depth conversation about carrot breeding and about collaborations that have come out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s OSSI-pledged carrot populations. Free the Seed! is now on Spotify (http://bit.ly/FreetheSeed), and you can subscribe there, or wherever you get your podcasts. Please consider telling a friend about the show, and look for the first episode later this fall. Thanks for listening!
