In this special edition of Meant to Ferment, we are on a journey of "Slow Ferments, Slow Radio" in honor of WGXC's Pledge Drive "Slow Down, Tune In." Please support this wonderful station as you can by going to wavefarm.org/donate. 

Join us as we explore long-term ferments, slow fermentation methods, and the ongoing intersections of fermentation and time.

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

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.

Slowness, and fermentation, and time, and radio. Please find more information regaring the practitioners and resources featured in this show below:
