342: Matt Candeias, In Defense of Plants

Matt Candeias is a botanist and the host of The In Defense of Plants podcast. On todays episode of The Sodshow, Peter Donegan and gets to turn the tables as Matt becomes the guest rather than the host. It's not as easy as it sounds. That in mind, I was a guest on Matt's podcast some weeks ago and you can go and listen to that later if you wish. While I have you, The Sodshow official merchandise T-shirt's are on sale and, though we don't make any money off them (to keep costs down), do please go buy one. You'll look fantastic in it. www.sodshow.com for more info. A rate review in iTunes will do just fine instead and thanks you so much. Raised in the forests of northeastern North America and is obsessed with botany. When he's not reading, writing, or talking about plants, he is hiking and photographing them or trying to grow them. His favourite plants are orchids and the carnivores but there's not really a plant he does not like. The Sodshow is available every Friday in iTunes, all good podcast stores and The Sodshow website. If you have a mo, and you like what you hear, a rate / review in iTunes would be fan-tastic. My thanks for listening. And thank you.

He says "Plants are incredible organisms with an evolutionary history all their own. What’s more, they form the foundation for life as we know it. Every week I sit down for a chat with experts and plant enthusiasts alike. We discuss everything from conservation, to pollination, and even how to grow them. In Defense of Plants is my attempt at curing plant blindness around the globe." Show Links:  Website: www.indefenseofplants.com Twitter: @indfnsofplnts  Facebook: indefenseofplants
