Given the intricate connection between food and nature, there is bound to be overlap, and related discussion on climate, agriculture, food production, social justice will likely be intertwined throughout many of the discussions in these podcasts, but I’ve tried to organise as accurately as possible.
Peruse, and choose, at your leisure.
Some are more meandering, peaceful, storytelling, mythical, good for feeding the soul and subconscious, stoking the emotions and a sense of wonder; others are more information heavy (reported stories/interviews/news bulletin/good for a different type of intellect); others are exciting and invigorating and fun.
It’s up to whatever you’re in the mood/on the lookout for.
I now and again add specific episode suggestions.

If you feel the urge to comment (or write to me personally) and share any thoughts/words of your own; if someone came to mind as you read and you’d like to share this with them - please follow that instinct. It’s very welcome. While exposing yourself into the ether brings its own strange enjoyment, it’s always important and lovely to hear words ping back at you at some stage.

Thanks for starting a list of resources! I love so many of these already, and some I'm curious to dive into for the first time. I've enjoyed listening to the podcast The Poor Prole's Almanac: https://poorproles.com/. Lots of interesting episodes about ancestral and regenerative farming practices, colonialism's impact on diet, radical community initiatives around farming, etc!
