Episode 13 – Zucchini: The Gift that Keeps on Giving

This month we’re feeling gourd-geous and heading into the garden to talk about the most bountiful, bodacious cucurbit around: zucchini! Whether you grow it yourself or find it left in your car by your neighbors this episode has something for you! 

We hear from a Mother/Son team growing Trombocino, hang out with Katherine Pryor, author of Zora’s Zucchini and check in with Chris Powell, one of the organizers of the annual West Stockbridge Zucchini fest. There’s also Curried soup on the menu! Watch out, listening to this episode might just have you cooking and growing your own squash. 

See if you can count how many times we say Zucchini… 

Music in this episode includes modified versions of:  “Cheesy Radio Ballad” and “Jazzy Inquisitors” by Lisa Hammer, “Kerplunk” by Mr. Smith, and “Fastest Man on Earth” by Jahzzar
