The Biofriendly Podcast

A Sustainable Day in the Neighborhood

Won't you be my sustainable neighbor? In a world full of smartphones, Zoom calls, and digital workspaces, the opportunity to build a community in the world around us has become increasingly difficult. This week on The Biofriendly Podcast we list off 10 steps for creating a sustainable neighborhood, discuss the art of candle shopping, and has Jacob been a spy this entire time?

Your Mom

It's Mother's Day weekend and some of you are out there scrambling to find a last minute gift for your amazing mom... shame on you! But have no fear, we've got your back with some environmentally friendly ideas that will show her how much you care without breaking the bank. This week we list off some creative gift ideas from our very own Biofriendly Planet, find out why Jacob was traumatized by alarm sheets, and will this episode get us a free XBOX?!

It's Our Time... Down Here!

Do you know what a healthy coral reef sounds like? Well fish and underwater life sure do, and scientists have discovered that harnessing this sweet sound could be the key to saving damaged reefs. Join us this week as we ponder the generational philosophy of The Goonies, follow Noel's vitamin regimen, and talk about underwater neighborhood gentrification. 

Don't Swarm Me, Brood!

The cicadas are coming! What ever do we do?! In a rare occurrence, a trillion cicadas from two different broods will fly in the skies over the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S. in the end of April, but have no fear! Cicadas are harmless and actually very good for our environment. Join us for a famously tangential Biofriendly Podcast full of Shakespearean quips and portable office cuisine as we eventually find our way to this historic swarm of cicada broods. 

Bampoop?

You won't believe the amount of toilet paper we use every year, especially in the United States. In an effort to reduce the amount of Canadian forest we rely upon to wipe our sweet patooties, startups are springing up all over the place with treeless toilet paper-- but what does that mean? Toilet humor takes center stage in this week's Biofriendly Podcast where we give a crap about everything from wiping our behinds to winning a game of darts for chocolate. 

Tool Time with Gen Z

As Gen Z begins to enter the workforce, you may be surprised to hear that trades like plumbing and electrical are on the rise. This week on The Biofriendly Podcast we talk about how everything from skyrocketing college tuition to job longevity are influencing the younger generation, and did Tom DeLonge from Blink-182 stop by the show to sing a few songs? 

Attack of the House-Eating Mushroom

In the city of Cleveland, thousands of homes are abandoned and a growing concern has risen amongst residents.... waste! Yet, one solution that might also rise to the occasion are house hungry mushrooms ready to devour these dilapidated domiciles. However on this week's Biofriendly Podcast, we ponder if there isn't a better way to handle the empty houses, we circle back on the size of nuclear waste, and we continue the fight to save America! 

Cheapy EV

"Build Your Dreams," is embossed on a small EV called the Seagull being made in China-- and the most extraordinary feature is that it costs just under 10 grand! The only problem? We cannot get them imported here in the United States... BUT, this new design by BYD in China is forcing all the major car manufacturers around the world to dream up something better and cheaper and fast! This week, we discuss the pros and cons of a 'cheapy EV' and how this could transform the auto industry for good.
