Why do some plants grow where they do? How can geology cause new plant species to evolve? Why are some plants pollinated by flies, some by bats, some by birds, and others by bees?

Informative, accessible and funny. If you like plants, it’s well worth a listen :)
I was just really lit up to hear you and black forager chop it up. I am just awed and humbled how you are both using this digital space in a whole hearted, authentic way. Thank you
I’ve been listening for ten minutes and I’m already in love. Thanks for making my bad day so much better 💚
Joey’s enthusiasm is contagious and inspires learning. I love his teachings and rants alike. Keep it up!
I came her after watching the YouTube videos. Tony is incredibly intelligent and it’s inspiring when he’s actually walking around in nature, but I’m kind of disappointed that the podcast is 60% moaning, impressions of people and defending his right to say offensive stuff.
