Dylan here, today we wanted to do something a little different.

We wanted to bring you something extra, an extra episode.

But this is an episode not of the Atlas Obscura, but of a show we really, really like, Gastropod.

And Gastropod is about food as seen through the lens of science and history.

And the show is hosted by Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilly, who we've had Nikki on the

show twice now.

And they just do incredibly fascinating dives into subjects like the history of coffee

or how palm oil took over the world.

If you've liked any of our episodes about food, things like the sourdough library or the

Museum of Disgusting Foods or the Trock Pocolips, which Nikki was the guest for, then you

are going to love Gastropod.

This episode you're about to hear is about one of the longest running science experiments

in the world.

It features zombie seeds, a treasure hunt, and much more.

We hope you like it.

Check it out after this.

Okay, there's clearly some kind of treasure hunt going on.

But what's the treasure?

Weed seeds.

Wait, Cynthia, are we making another cannabis episode already?

No, Nikki too, was quite enough, thanks.

These are the other kind of weed, weeds.
