FE6.7 - Critical Mast

What do you call it when a population of podcasts mysteriously drop episodes on the same topic at the same time? It's Critical Mast! We're so proud to present this nutty experiment in community podcasting, with its roots going back to the very beginning of our show (and the beginning of our dedication to silly puns). Thanks to help from our pals at Jumpstart Nature , Golden State Naturalist , Learning from Nature: The Biomimicry Podcast , Nature’s Archive , and Outside/In , it's time for a bumper crop of podcasts about (or inspired by) the perplexing phenomenon known as masting: where plants somehow synchronize their seed production across staggering distances. Give all these pods all a follow, & check out this Spotify playlist (to which episodes will be added as they drop). — — — 🌱 💖 Thanks to all our supporters for making this show possible (and keeping it ad-free and independent) Join our community for as little as $1/month for access to early episode releases, a bonus podcast feed, merch, our discord server, book club, and more!
