    Tobacco | Botany After Dark, Epi 6

    Tobacco | Botany After Dark, Epi 6

    Episode Notes
    I have wanted to cover tobacco for a while but in light of recent regulations surrounding vaping and general accessibility to tobacco products, it seemed apt to do so now. Today, we discuss the storied history of this plant that has been connected to so much pain and death and analyze humanity's role in tobacco's new associations.

Worth a listen

The voice is a bit monotone, and I mean that in a good way. It’s comforting and doesn’t have any cheesy podcast frills. Its like listening to our graveyard anatomical pathologist do dictation for a bunch of specimens in our lab - except with plants. Well researched and interesting. One of the only podcasts on botany that made me subscribe after a first listen.

Neat podcast

Im not really into botany but the premise sounded neat so I gave it a shot. I dig it! I’m curious to see where it goes!
