Well Rooted Radio is the audio format for my (usually) weekly blog, Well Rooted Being. You'll find essays on nature, mindfulness, food, and agriculture read by me (not AI!), along with two occasional "bonus" segments: Companion Plants, a series of conversations with folks I find inspiring; and Well Rooted Readings, readings of public-domain nature and garden writing. wellrootedbeing.substack.com
