Seedy Business

Hey friends. Here's a preview of next week's full episode, wherein we interview a friend and his exceedingly chill family about their enviably cool yard and garden.  Augustine and the Pear Tree Seedy Shorts are (usually - though not this week) brief episodes of straight readings of beautifully composed seed descriptions with no additional commentary. Because we recognize we're insufferable and sho...

Allison and Roman enjoy the luxurious hand-feel of the high production value Osborne Quality Seeds Spring 2021 Catalog, gaze in wonder at the RuPaul Chia Pet, meditate on the intimacy of massaging kale, feel deeply unsettled by the concept of "teen plants," and play another edition of their now classic segment What the Fuck is That? - Plant Disease Edition. Osborne Quality Seeds Spring 2021 Catalo...

Hey all. We weren't able to record a new episode this week for the most boring imaginable reason: work obligations. Instead, we're posting Roman reading the first ten chapters of In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan, a post-apocalyptic fantasia of sorts, in which many of the physical structures in the described society are composed of the sugar from watermelons. He recorded it years ago for Al...

Allison and Roman dive into the alarmingly poorly-reviewed, maybe-a-front-for-the mob Burgess Seed and Plant Company Spring 2021 Catalog. They revisit the proud legacy of 90s pro-wrestler Mr. Ass, advocate for more seed catalogues to include sexy veggie centerfolds, and try to determine if Burgess is, in fact, run by an individual somehow named Bimbo Houston.  Gi-                    ant Tomato Tre...

Allison and Roman go back in time 140 years to visit one of the earliest catalogs published by Burpee, the Blackwater of seed companies. They learn how Ronald Reagan completely screwed over the marigold lobby, passionately disagree on why Gonzo the muppet is so horny for chickens, and call Roman's mother for Mother's Day/to ask about iceberg lettuce.  Burpee's Farm Annual 1881 Catalog -> https://w...

Allison and Roman tackle their narrowest catalog yet, Dixondale Farms 2021. All onions, all the time, babyyy. They catch up on some celebrity garden news, offer tribute at the throne of the King of Big Veg, and speculate on how much Bloomin' Onion the average American consumes.  Dixondale Farms 2021 catalog Gerald Stratford profile on eater.com Gerald Stratford Gucci campgain Instagram: SeedyBusin...

Just throwing up some audio again for this week's Seedy Short, in which Allison says smart things about embryos and Roman struggles to remember an NPR story he heard earlier that day. We'll be back to straight-read Seedy Shorts next time! Seedy Shorts are USUALLY brief episodes of straight readings of beautifully composed seed descriptions with no additional commentary.

Allison and Roman reflect back on a fun and carefree last twelve months by getting into the spirit of Awards Season. Join us as we confer some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including but not limited to "Best/Worst Corn Ideology," "Meatiest Seed Description," "Most Devastating Viral Pandemic of 2020,"  and the first annual "MyPillow Guy Award for Carniest Seed Catalog Product."

Hey y'all. Just offering you a recent outtake as our Seedy Short for this week.  Next Friday, April 16th, should be our Year in Covid episode. Miss you, love you, byeeeeee.  xoxoxo Instagram: SeedyBusinessPod Twitter: SeedyBusiness Email: SeedyBusinessPod@gmail.com

Hey! As it turns out, Allison and Roman weren't able to record a new episode for this week, so instead we're dropping previously unreleased, arguably unlistenable audio. It's the second thing we ever recorded from five years ago this very week. Consider it like a rotten Easter egg of sorts. They settle on a podcast name, discover Strictly Medicinal for the first, magical time, reveal the grotesque...

Allison and Roman delight in the completely text-based but nonetheless charming Adaptive Seeds 2021 catalog, discuss which rival podcasts are BITERS, speculate on whether plants can go feral, and listen to far more of a tangentially-relevant-to-amaranths Elton John song than could possibly be considered fair use.   100pcs FRESH Purple Watermelon Seeds Organic Vegetable Fruit for Home Garden

Allison and Roman read from the artistically inclined Hudson Valley Seed Company's 2021 catalog, debate which cities are cool enough but not too cool to have carrot hot dogs, and wonder what type of vegetables they can grow in the absence of both sun and soil. Also: Roman eats a chiltepin pepper on mic, making for some truly unlistenable audio. Hudson Valley Seed 2021 Catalog Instagram: SeedyBusin...

Allison and Roman enjoy the beautifully designed and ideologically commendable Native Seeds/SEARCH 2021 catalog, revisit their local race for Soil and Water Commissioner, express regret over not having taken a pile of dirt from the side of the road, watch some dude eat chiltepins and evangelize for crypto-currency, and discuss what statues they'd like to have in their own garden. Let us know if yo...

Allison and Roman discuss the Willhite Seed 2021 Catalog as their next-door neighbor throws an exceedingly ill-advised super-spreader party. They cancel Baker Creed Seeds over their Cliven Bundy fiasco, ponder the tautology of the Truck Buster watermelon, take a big ole' dump on Morgan County Seeds, and render their podcast unlistenable with drive-time radio sound effects.  Willhite Seed, Inc. 202...
