Episode notes

Leaves are actually really easy and plants are pretty easy to just like anybody could slip it in between sheets of a newspaper or pages of a newspaper. Color is going to fade almost no matter what certain species do preserve better than others but there's more likely than not going to be some fading. Do you guys ever have to use the Pantone wheel? I wish. Where is the most beautiful place to enjoy foliage? Yeah.

The seasons are a-changin'! It's sweater weather in both hemispheres and seasonal researcher and expert Phenologist Dr. Libby Ellwood weighs in with amazing information about why fall smells so good, why leaves change color, why we like to cronch them, historical records of blossoms and twigs, bird migrations, Daylight Savings, seasonal mythbusting, pumpkin spice vs. apple cider, the best temperature to wear sweaters, why the Halloween aisle springs up in summer and how global temperature shifts affect the whole food web. Bonus: the most candid, touching thoughts Alie's ever heard from a scientist studying climate. Get this one in your ears and hearts.
