Ferment Radio

Ferment Radio is a podcast series that tackles, from a microbial perspective, issues that are hard-to-grasp. Together with people from very diverse backgrounds, including science, gastronomy, and arts, we reflect, discuss, and bubble along with microbes to give legacy to unusual perspectives. By letting our thoughts and beliefs ferment in the brine of shared discourse, we find transformative paths to multispecies justice and well-being, within ourselves and others. Ferment Radio is hosted by Aga Pokrywka, produced by Super Eclectic, and supported by CSSM.

#49: Ferment among the stars (with Joshua Evans)
