  • Acidic Soil Loving Plants of the Appalachian Mountains PART 2
    Mar 16 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In Episode #55 of Season #4, I will discuss some acid loving plants. Specifically, acidic soil loving plants such as some trillium plants (4), some ferns (2) and some blueberry plants (2).

    Plants such as these grow in and around the Appalachian Mountains, the Appalachian Foothills to the mountains and some call it the Appalachian Plateau.

    One of my hobbies is to hike and near me is the Red River Gorge Geological Area. I love hiking in this area but I do a tiny bit of hiking in Georgia, Berea, KY, and in the Smoky Mountains. You will see these plants in many of these areas if there is an acidic soil to sustain the plants.

    Your host is Tommy Fowler. I have a biology degree from the University of Kentucky and a high passion for the outdoors. I am "The Amateur Naturalist".

    We will talk about:

    • In tonight's episode, I will discuss 4 trillium plants, some ferns, and some blueberry plants
    • I will talk about why the soil is probably acidic.

  • Dire Wolves Died Out ... Are They Now Back From Extinction?
    Nov 30 2025

    Send us a text

    In Episode #53 of Season #4, I will discuss the company Colossal Biosciences and it's attempt at bringing back an animal, the Dire Wolf, from it's 10,000 year extinction. The Dire Wolf DNA is not 100% Dire Wolf DNA but it has some Gray Wolf DNA segments to make the DNA complete. Because of this, many people are upset that they are saying that they brought back the Dire Wolf. But this is just the first attempt at bringing back a previously extinct animal. No one anticipates ever seeing a Dire Wolf running wild.

    Your host is Tommy Fowler. I have a biology degree from the University of Kentucky and a high passion for the outdoors. I am "The Amateur Naturalist".

    We will talk about:

    • In tonight's episode, I will discuss the company Colossal Biosciences but very briefly.
    • I will also mention that the same company has plans on bringing back the Woolly Mammoth in the next 2-4 years.
    • I will mention the creation of the Woolly Mouse and why it was created.
    • I also mention that there are other animals potentially on the horizon of bringing back from extinction.
