Hey Soil Cousins! What do farming, FX's original series “Atlanta,” and community have in common? Whether you're a fan of FX’s “Atlanta”, the American comedy-drama television series created by Donald Glover, or not, you'll enjoy this conversation. Today, we're diving into the perils of farm life through the lens of a contemporary Black cultural character’s farming experience. One of our favorite fictional characters, Paperboi, played by Brian Tyree Henry, was a staple in FX’s *Atlanta* series. We’re discussing some botanical and agricultural aspects of FX’s *Atlanta*, specifically Season 4, Episode 9, titled "Andrew Wyeth. Alfred's World." In this episode, Paperboi purchases and moves to a farm alone in the middle of nowhere, where he cultivates cannabis plants. We'll delve into how Alfred’s experiences on the farm reflect broader issues of identity, self-reliance, and resilience in the Black community.  Joining us in conversation today is native Atlantan and fan of FX’s “Atlanta,” journalist Kelundra Smith. She is a multifaceted talent who’s as comfortable in the world of arts and culture as she is in her own imagination. The Impact Theatre Atlanta and Synchronicity Theatre will present the world premiere of Kelundra Smith's “The Wash” this summer. For more details on Kelundra Smith and “The Wash,” visit: Learn more about Kelundra Smith (IG: @anotherpieceofkay) Learn more about The Wash   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we're diving into a topic that’s ever-present on social media: plant hacks. Our society has become quite obsessed with hacks as our lives become busier and more complicated. You've probably seen the myriad of hacks from spreading cinnamon on plants to adding eggshells to soil to help your plants flourish. These quick tips and tricks promise to revolutionize your plant care routine, but how many of them actually work?A plant hack is a quick, often innovative tip or trick aimed at improving plant care, making gardening tasks easier, or solving common plant-related problems. While some plant hacks are based on sound horticultural practices, others can be misleading or ineffective, making it important to distinguish between those that are scientifically valid and those that are not. To help us navigate this landscape of facts and "foolishment," we have a very special guest, Derek Haynes, aka The Chocolate Botanist, our resident ethnobotanist, viral sensation and a scientific communicator turned influencer who has upset the internet more than a few times by debunking fake plant hacks online. Derek is on an unrelenting quest to stop the "plant cap!"You might want to take notes for this one.To add more excitement, we have Plant Zaddy with another inspiring "Watering Moment."To learn more about The Chocolate Botanist, visit https://thechocolatebotanist.comSocial Media: @thechocolatebotanistFor even more, visit wabe.org/podcasts/blackinthegardenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
