Healing The Cultural Divide

In today's episode, Jeff and Susan get to speak with American novelist and memoirist, Marie Mutsuki Mockett, as well as Juston Wolgemuth who is a professional counselor now but was featured as a key character in one of Marie’s books back when he was a college student. That book is called American Harvest: God, Country, and Farming in the Heartland. American Harvest discusses grain production, religion, history, and the cultural divide in the United States, and it begins with a question around food: “Why do city dwellers (who are stereotypically disconnected from the land) want organic food while farmers (who are stereotypically more religious and science-averse) prefer genetically modified crops?” Enjoy the episode.
