Summary

The first episode of the Spring 2021 Collection: a Global Traverse. This week we travel to the southern hemisphere to dive into what makes the monkey puzzle tree so dang interesting. From ancient roots to endemic speciation, we chat about this relic from another time. Then we play a new game. Welcome back!

0:00.0	Calling all fungal associates, we need you to take our listener survey at gum.fm slash
0:07.6	trees. Yes, you know this, we know this. There are ads on our podcast and we want to improve
0:14.0	that experience for you, our audience. In order to do this, we need to know a little bit more about
0:20.0	you. And that's why we have a listener survey at gum.fm slash trees. That's right. Go to gum.fm slash
0:29.6	trees and check out that listener survey. We are trying to change what we've done in terms of our
0:36.8	advertising. And in order to do that best and make sure that you are getting something that's
0:41.8	germane, that's not telling you to go to some crazy place to do some crazy thing,
0:46.7	we want to curate this experience because Alex, it's a necessary evil. So we have to figure out
0:53.8	how best we can do it to be palatable for everybody. That's right, Casey. And the listener survey is a

1:33.4	plastic consumption is so important. And if you're new to this idea, as I was, earth breeze is a great
1:42.1	way to get started. What is earth breeze? They make revolutionary, liquidless laundry detergent.
1:50.3	Huh? What? What did he say? Was that a, was that a typo? No, it was not. Yes, this is liquidless
1:57.6	laundry detergent. It looks like a dryer sheet. You pop it on top of your clothes when you're putting
2:02.4	your laundry in and it cleans your clothes. No more giant gooey mess with the big heavy plastic
2:10.7	jug. We're getting rid of it. Earth breeze has thought of everything. The packaging is a lightweight
2:15.9	cardboard envelope, meaning it saves you space in your utility closet. And you avoid the big
2:22.9	plastic gooey jug of doom. And their eco sheets are hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.
2:29.2	And the best thing I can say about earth breeze is that I use them every time I do laundry.
