For a less industry-focused, weed-forward podcast, check out Great Moments in Weed History. It’s hosted by Abdullah Saeed and David Bienenstock, who you may remember from Bong Appétit.
While the podcast goes down 10,000+ years of cannabis history, it also stays relevant to today’s world. Recent episodes have covered topics like how to get a job in weed, how to save small weed farms, and current political conversations.
The podcast is a good mix of fun conversations with beloved stoners like Willie Nelson and David Crosby and important history lessons like the episode about Billie Holiday vs. Harry J. Anslinger.
