Ordinary Soil: A Journey Through Land and Legacy + Carey Gillam on Monsanto
About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the novel 'Ordinary Soil' and an interview with Carey Gillam about the Monsanto lawsuit.
For SEO, I’d make it shorter and keyword-rich: Alex Woodard discusses Ordinary Soil, a sweeping multigenerational novel about a Choctaw farming family in the Oklahoma Panhandle, exploring the deep connections between land, food, health, and identity. Then, in an encore interview, environmental journalist Carey Gillam talks about The Monsanto Papers and the landmark lawsuit in which groundskeeper Lee Johnson took on Monsanto and won.
