If you're looking to take your gardening skills to the next level, then this is the podcast for you.

It's called The Beat. And it's a five day a week expert show on how to grow a greener thumb hosted by yours truly, Kevin Espiritu, the founder of Epic Gardening.

On the show you'll find industry and science experts, but also passionate ornamental houseplant

and food gardeners that will help you understand where you're going wrong in the garden and

how to get a bigger harvest.

There's a reason we are the most downloaded gardening podcast of all time, so to grow a greener

thumb, subscribe to the beat. Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, July 10th,

2023 and I'm the host of the show, Kara Santa Maria.

And as always, before we dive into this week's episode,

I do want to thank those of you who make TalkNurdy possible.

Remember TalkNurdy is and will always be 100% free to download and the way that we fund the show both, you know, compensating me, well barely compensating me for my time.

That's not really a part of the calculation, but being able to pay the editors, being able to pay my assistant

Noel to do all of the important work that happens behind the scenes is that we rely on the

support of listeners just like you.

Historically, we also sold a lot of Host Red ads which have a much higher sell-through rate,

and the ad industry is just dead right now

in podcasting.

You've probably noticed it across the board.

So even though I'm still doing what we call programmatic ads.

So you'll notice that there are ads

that are dropped within the show that were recorded

professionally by the companies.
