TSP to Return Tomorrow

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

I arrived into the office early today and put together today’s show and began recording it.  However, my voice is completely and totally shot, the more I talk the worse it gets.  As important as it is to me that the show go out daily, especially after a travel break it is equally important that the quality be top notch as well. The vocal cords simply need a day of rest to recoup.  The number of people I spoke to over two days along with two presentations simply taxed my voice.  It was so amazing to meet so many of … Continue reading →

Recently I posted a photo on facebook included here in the show notes.  The photo is of a plant called huauzontle (pronounced wah-zont-lay), a relative of lambsquarters.  While only one person guessing the plant species got it right what actually surprised me was they crescendo of the use of the word “weed”. Sometimes I sit and wonder if tomatoes and peppers and lettuce just grew in large swaths on their own would we call them weed too?  For example this so called weed huauzontle has actually been cultivated for centuries and is currently “en vogue” with many Mexican gardeners in … Continue reading →
