Summary

January 2025 marks the 10 year anniversary (!!!) of the In Defense of Plants Podcast. To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to revisit the first episode of the podcast. Travel back a decade to a tiny, old Buffalo NY apartment where a young and naive Matt waxes poetic about his love for jewel orchids (Ludisia discolor) as a blizzard rages outside.

1:00.0	to you, how much I've learned especially about audio production and audio quality. This episode
1:05.1	was done in a tiny apartment in Buffalo, New York, during a snowstorm. So you'll probably
1:10.5	hear the
1:11.2	1800s windows rattling in the background as the blizzard rages on, keeping me freezing as ever,
1:17.1	hurting my little cold tozies. But little did I know from that episode on, it was going to be
