Tune in for a special fundraising broadcast with WGXC Volunteer Programmer, Rebecca Echevarria of Meant to Ferment! 

Please consider supporting this wonderful station of community programmers that explore all corners of the radio universe. And to this show that features local and global fermentation practitioners, highlights unique preservations techniques, and explores fermentation through music, sound and relation. WGXC's Pledge Drive - Slow, Down, Tune In - invites listeners to connect with the intention, curiousity, and deep commitment that can be found on these sonic waves. Please give what you can with a tax-deductible contribution to help us meet our 2026 goal at wavefarm.org/donate. 

In this show, we are on a journey of long-term ferments, slow fermentation methods, and the ongoing intersections of fermentation and time.

Listen to a reading on the relationship between Gooroot, a Central Asian dairy ferment, and time by the author, Dr. Simi Rezai Ghassemi, from her recently released book, “Fermented Dairy of Central Asia.”

Hear about the work of Max Graze, an information designer that explores the data physicalization and sonification of fermentation and time.

Learn about the long-term immersion & fermentation process of an Andean potato ferment called Tocosh while listening to Quechua pop.

Enjoy some classic Persian tunes during a discussion of Torshi Seer's multi-year preservation process.
