This week on Under the Radar:
The days of hunting and gathering are far behind us.... maybe? Foraging, modern-day gathering, has exploded in popularity as of late thanks to people like TikToker Alexis Nikole. It's a way to get in touch with your environment through species native to your area. We explore why this plant based activity has taken off.
Guests:
David Craft, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital and in his free time, leads foraging expedition into the Boston wilderness.
Maria Pinto, a Boston area writer for Grub Street, educator and mushroom enthusiast. Maria can be found leading interactive and educative foraging excursions in Boston.
