Bonus episode! Friend of the cast, Luke Oswald, recently interview WEWP host Steve Cantu on his show Publicly Challenged! Here's the episode info from his feed: In this episode, I talk to Steve Cantu of Wild Edible World Podcast. We sat in a park at a picnic table and discussed our lack of chanterelle that we had found and decided to record an episode and cover a wide array of topics and somehow tie it all in with foraging and wild food preparation.

From ToS feed: NEW DROP with Michael Baker and Steve Cantu of Wild Edible World Podcast and it's too fresh; pun

intended.

Michael and Steve discuss their backgrounds, how they teamed up, the history of foraging and the impact of agriculture vs. foraging.

This episode is a substantial reminder to get outside and truly enjoy everything that nature has to offer.

As always - a supreme thank you to Blind Barber Chicago for hosting this necessary conversation, Ritual Zero Proof for the support and Cheyenne English for the beverage design.

Get Outside,

The To S Crew

Many know of Milkweed as a wonderful pollinator plant, but did you know it is also delicious?? On this episode the boys discuss how to identify Milkweed, how to prepare it to eat, how to distinguish it from dogbane, and on the second half they have a little Milkweed bud snack!

In this smasher of an ep, the boys enjoy the rain as they talk about one of their very favorite herbs: beebalm! Like many plants, it has several common names but the flavor is all the same. Packed with deep oregano-like flavor, this plant can be used in a variety of food ways and is a highly popular plant for native pollinators. Classic 2-for-1!!
