In the Weeds

About the podcast

In the Weeds asks how culture influences human relationships with the natural world. Nicole Asquith interviews guests from science, the arts, cultural criticism, and theology. Conversations draw connections between environmental questions and the ways people tell stories, organise societies, and understand other species. Topics include the historical role of horses, the ecological ideas within novels, and encounters with local landscapes. Books provide starting points for examining where human culture and the living world meet.
