0:00.0 | more than 300 years ago, a farming pioneer named Jethro Tall. |
0:08.8 | No, not that Jethro Tall, the other one, figured out some technologies that enabled millions, |
0:17.0 | possibly billions of people to stay alive. How did we find out? How did we find out about |
0:24.4 | drilling seeds? How did we find out about crop rotation? How do we know what we know? How does it get |
0:31.5 | to us? Hey, it's Seth, and this is a Kimbo. Hey, I'm Alexandra Dupalma, and I'm Kenya Denise, |
0:46.0 | and we are the co-founders of Domino Sound, a queer woman owned production studio and boutique |
