been listening for a year or two and this podcasts stuck with me. Kelly's got a knack for interviewing people working an interesting angle in the world of plant work. And the interviews feel refreshingly down to earth and relaxed

Description

The Ground Shots Podcast is an audio project exploring our relationship to ecology through conversations and storytelling with artists, ecologists, farmers, activists, story-tellers, land-tenders and more. How do we do our work in the modern age, when the urgency of ecological and social collapse feels looming? How do we creatively and whole-heartedly navigate our relationships with one another and the land?
