SeedPod is a podcast about the natural world. We are two foresters and a wildlife biologist, trying to make sense of all things natural resources for the masses. We'll cover topics as broad as "What is a forest?" and as specific as "Here's the history of Some Guy You've Never Heard Of" because we think it's interesting, and you should too.

Historian and friend of the show Marissa joins us once again to talk beavers! In part two we talk about the history of beavers in North America, covering how and why they were nearly extirpated as well as their subsequent recovery. John also explains how we go about using beavers to do the heavy lifting of watershed restoration!

The Great(est) Lakes! With Josh Boerman!
In the episode we are joined by Michigander, theatre director, writer, podcast host and just all-around excellent dude Josh Boerman (https://www.joshboerman.com/) to talk about the ecology, life, and death of the finest lakes on the planet. That's right! We're talking about the Great Lakes, why they're super cool, and how we're ruining them. Also, Calvin gets mad at Josh for seeing into the future and getting to Calvin's notes before he can! And because it gets brought up anytime anyone mentions the Great Lakes, we talk a little about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Josh is co-host of The Worst of All Possible Worlds (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-worst-of-all-possible-worlds/id1570782388) and Ill Conceived (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ill-conceived/id1819801420). If you are somehow not yet listening to them, you should.
