In this fascinating episode of Broadcasting Seeds, we unravel the curious intersections of history, folklore, and innovation in a way you’ve never imagined. With special guest Heidi Luv, we explore the Orphan Trains, a controversial 19th-century social experiment that relocated thousands of children across America, reshaping lives and communities. We then dive into the whimsical yet strangely unsettling mythology of cabbage babies, tracing its roots from European folklore to the cultural phenomenon of Cabbage Patch Kids. Finally, we delve into the bizarre yet groundbreaking practice of showcasing premature babies in incubators at fairs and expositions—an intersection of medical advancement and public spectacle. Through these stories, we uncover the deeper truths about how societies have historically viewed and treated their most vulnerable, blending the strange, the heartwarming, and the thought-provoking into a narrative that will leave you questioning the boundaries between care, commerce, and curiosity.
