REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhat podcast did you choose and what did you learn on the podcast you listened to?
Molly Doerner 10/13/2024 10:17 PMThis one was an interesting find (though technically not a podcast) as I have been following many videos posted in the aftermaths of Helene in WNC, a place I used to call home. The Aeroponic Tower Channel ( https://youtu.be/Uho9BZJm1Tg?si=Gd7tX1RuUJaL1b_p) is posting updates & footage from Marshall area (I believe) & today circled back to her homesteading, food growing security, & prep which is absolutely beautiful & hopeful to see in the wake of so much loss. I have some catching up to do but feel re-inspired by her work, sustainable service, & sharing. ❤️🩹🌱 -
