The practice of growing plants in water rather than soil isn't new, though early examples are difficult to substantiate. In the 1930s, hydroponic plant culture made headlines, but the field also had conflict among researchers.

The hosts are fabulous. They have a great chemistry with one another and make history fun and accessible. I have (finally) listened for the whole back catalogue and while it is quite time consuming at this point, it is really worth it. I really appreciated in particular their most recent episode about Irish slaves. As an Irish person myself, I have often found myself having to be very careful online with who I talk to about my country’s history as it has frequently been misappropriated and misrepresented by racists who use Irish history to justify their own anti-blackness. This is quite frustrating and rather upsetting. I love my country and would love to share more about our history but there are very few places where I would find it safe to do so. This might sound unrelated to the topic but dispelling the fictitious Irish slaves story really goes a long way, not only in the fight towards equality for people of colour but also leaves open more of a space for us to discuss the oppression that our country and it’s people DID experience without having to wonder about the motivations of the people listening to you. Thank you so much Holly & Tracy (or Tracy & Holly).
Well researched and discussed

Stuff You Missed In History Class is one of those podcasts that even if the title doesn’t interest you, you’ll find a gem of a podcast. Well researched, well discussed and every host who has been on it has cared about their podcast subjects. I’m a huge fan, and it’s an immediate download podcast for me.
Compelling
