Dendrology is UP! (Patreon)

Treeeeees. Let's get into them. 

You may never meet anyone who's as jazzed down to their BONES about their job. Casey Clapp is a Portland-based arborist who is genuinely obsessed with the well-being of trees and it's amazing. He's so warm and knowledgable and earnest and funny and in this episode we talked about trees communicating, crown shyness, his favorite species, weird mascots, tree porn, helpful fungus, plant ESP, the oldest trees and some SUPER SAD TREE STORIES. 

Full disclosure: This episode was a beast to make. The interview, raw, was over 2 hours so I tried to condense the most important info and I hope y'all like it. At one point I was hunched over a 38 page printed transcript in a cafe trying to slash through parts with a red pen and then pencil in how to use asides to stitch it together, then transfer all that to a digital doc, and the lovely Steven Ray Morris did a heroic job with all the trims. So much good info, but I didn't want to do another 2-parter right after the double Fear episode. 

It's so late and I'm tiiiired as fuuuuq so this is not the wittiest post but I just wanted to say hello and thank you to all of you wonderful patrons for making Ologies possible -- most of the money you contribute goes toward editing and other costs and I just love doing it. So thank you for making it happen. Any ologies you're really itchin' to hear about? Leave em below, fam. 

In trees we trust,
