We have an episode from the WEWP VAULT today- here's a previously unreleased phone call we had with the dynamite Colter Barnes from History's ALONE season 8! We talk a lot about his foraging during the show, the adversity he faced, as well as his lifestyle and plans in Alaska!! This is such a good episode and went on the shelf for a while due to the less-than-desireable audio quality. However, listening back through this Colter has amazing insight, and hindsight, on nature and his time on the super popular survival show and this will prove to be another valuable episode of our show. Thanks to everybody for listening and extra thanks to @colterwambachbarnes for chatting with us, sorry it took forever to release! super triple thanks to @keweenaw_apothecary for being a sponsor of the show and for making this connection!!

Time-travel back to fall with this special episode of WEWP where Steve and Michael talk about SCRUMPING and taste-test several wild varieties of apples and compare them to a few "control" grocery store apples.

This is an ASMR-heavy episode with just the boys out in the woods that will leave y'all wanting to go scrumping!! This is a late release meaning it was recorded in the fall, during peak apple season.

*Scrumping is a term used to describe the act of collecting wild apples

Brad is a wetlands scientist and reached out to talk to your two favorite foraging hosts! In this new episode WEWP#65 with Brad Earnest we chat about his favorite and least favorite plants, his experience with helping homeowners burn or select plants for wetland restoration!

We met at a local library to chat so enjoy this NPR-vibe heavy episode, haha!!

Get pecan crazy!! We talked with Farmer Dave of @rockbridgetrees about the diversity in pecans and how accessible and beneficial nut trees are to our environment, our bellies, and even our pocketbooks! Dave is such an inspirational nursery grower with a lot history and personality and we barely scratched the surface with this interview!

Hope you all enjoy the new episode and get the urge to plant some nut trees! As they say, the best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago but the second best time is today!

We're back to our classic format!! Interviewing foragers is fun and all but we wanted to bring it back to our core with just Michael and Steve this episode. A couple of sweeties discussing a sweet sweet plant, the honey locust!

Listen to them discuss the visual varieties this tree possesses as well as the awesome sweetness it contains!! Hope you enjoy it!
