Description
For the premiere, Tobin gives a little background about the pod, then launches into an issue that concerns us all: the failure to properly anthropomorphize trees. Using an English Oak (Quercus robur) and a Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), he shows us how to bring out the multitudinous character of trees in a way that honors their complexity. Goodbye, oak that "is strong". Hello, oak that "has familial trauma owing to the pressures of its illustrious family lineage and also happens to be an egalitarian at heart."Heads up: the wildcard episode will usually air Thursdays and the interview Mondays. This week is switched.Book mentioned and quoted: Elderflora by Jared FarmerPurchase Must Love Trees: An Unconventional GuideQuestions, Comments? ITCOTpod@gmail.com
