ShabemaThank you!I stumbled upon this and am looking forward to listening. I’m a self taught ethnobotanist and many years ago I devoured Schultes & Raffauf’s The Healing Forest in addition to your books. This podcast will keep me busy for awhile!
-
M. LandWell done!Really appreciate the respect Dr. Plotkin has for the Indigenous communities and sharing this valuable knowledge. I stumbled upon this podcast and it’s definitely one of my top 3 favorite podcasts of all time. Thank you 🙏🏽

Mr. AhiOne of the most interesting and important podcasts I listen toThis is fascinating series of discussions about human interaction with the environment and plants and other species through history and prehistory with a solid scientific foundation. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Don LipmansonCaptivatingProf. Plotkin offers so much unique information and insight into Amazonian tribal culture and ethnobotany. Each episode is something of an entertaining college lecture. He talks from decades of first hand experience, not just theory, with exuberance aplenty. A Peruvian naturalist recommended Plotkin’s “Tales of a Shaman’s Apprentice” and Vargas-Lossa’s “The Storyteller,” both astonishing and so worthwhile

jackfrost.Great workI love the historical stories about how we used plants and showing how we have always lived along side them as humanity developed.

recvkFrogs aren’t plantsI’m vegan and wasn’t expecting it to turn to frogs when the podcast is plants of gods.

Ky RussRuss KyIncredibly interesting podcast. Have learned a tremendous amount of information I would probably never learn from mainstream sources. A bonus has been hearing about other sources and writers that have also been wonderfully insightful.
-
hgreen83Interesting stuff only 🙏🏻How refreshing?! I’ve only listened to one episode so far, 10 (and didn’t even hear pt 1), and every moment has been INTERESTING rather than some other shroom enthusiast podcasts I’ve heard.
-
EmmyCoEducational and inspirational!After recently discovering this podcast, I feel like I’ve been micro-dosing on all the episodes each day. Ha! The content is so fulfilling, as it expanded on things I already knew but in a way that was digestible and thought provoking. Highly anticipating the next season-hopefully new content, deeper dives into previous topics discussed, and more guests/experts. I’ve got a big void to fill now in finding something as equally compelling!

Holly ReganUnderstanding ourselves through plantsThis is an incredibly informative podcast that teaches listeners about human history, culture, and society through the lens of the relationship between people and plants. These are fascinating and largely untold stories that need to be shared, such as the contributions of women to psychedelic science and the ways animals use plants for medicinal purposes, presented in a digestible way. To understand ourselves, we need to look at the bigger picture, and this podcast is a great start.
-
WeeBeeMeSpanish version?Thank you for this wonderful podcast. I remember seeing Dr. Plotkin speak in our small gardens in 1995 and followed him ever since into my “profession” as a plant biologist/ethnobotanist. I would love to share this with my Spanish speaking friends…is/will there be a translation/Spanish audible?
-

Anhel369Amazing podcast!!!!This podcast is my favorite by far. It’s jam packed with information that is right up my alley. Thank you for all you do Dr. Plotkin!
-
Saminka7A Podcast for Plant Nerds & Psychonauts AlikeA perfect podcast about folklore and fact surrounding both commonly known and lesser known plants of the medicinal realm. This podcast is perfect for those who have a general interest in how plants have helped shape the world around us and is most especially beneficial for anyone who has an interest in the ethnobotanical origin stories of plants! If you enjoy story time, and enjoy learning about plants, this is the perfect place for you!
-
Missy D aka Peter Weeds Dtr.Dr. PYou’ve been and seen more than one person could ever imagine! Therefore you are a very special and a knowledgeable hero for the history of OUR psychedelic and real ideology and perspective world we live and hopefully love by now! Keep up the good work! Hey, and DON’t forget to KEEP THE FUNK ALIVE!
-
TheMyrrickGreat Storytelling and HistoryDr. Plotkin is a wonderful storyteller who is blessed with a very soothing voice and lots of enthusiasm for these plants and conservation. I enjoy listening and cannot wait for the next season.
-
greenjenineFascinating and important!I LOVE this podcast!! I am learning things about the plants and fungi that have shaped our world in ways I never knew. He is a natural story teller as well. Thanks Dr Plotkin! I am re-listening to the shows and continue to learn new things. Looking forward to your new season :)
-
IsearnA cogent introduction to the subjectThe show not only provides concise analysis of the components of ethnobotany within the context of its history, discovery by Western science, and ongoing use and development, but also describes its place in science and culture.
-
finney420WowIf you want to learn about the fascinating world of ethnobotany, this is the podcast for you!
-
zanith 23AmazingDr Plotkin is a wealth of ancient knowledge that without people like him could be lost forever. He dances perfectly between the science of plant medicine without discounting the spiritual aspects of these powerful substances and the shamans that deliver them. A+++
-
durianJGGiftWhat a gift that Dr. Mark Plotkin has started a podcast. He is one of the the pioneers in the field of ethnobotany. I’m very appreciative this exists.
-
Neto-BrasilFun & didaticPlotkin presents a huge amount of precious information on traditional use of plants in many perspectives (ethnical, botanical, chamiças) without loosing the fun and delightful side of the amazing stories behind it
-
Suzy1937929654Awesome storiesI have listened to all of the episodes of plants of the gods and I must say Dr.Plotkin is a great talker I love how he brings his stories to life. This is a must hear if you are into plants!!
-
YKSACFascinating storytellingDr. Plotkin’s is a great story teller and has fascinating stories to tell. I’ve learned so much in this podcast—all the interesting things that the textbooks won’t teach you!
-
TacurongFascinating!Dr. Plotkin is both a world class scientist and storyteller. His podcasts are filled with ‘oh wow’ information.
-
DocOX78Endlessly Fascinatingi am a physician and i would love to hear an episode about the ethnobotany of modern medicines such as chemotherapeutic agents and digoxin. Your Tim Ferris interview was also great.
