Season 01 Ep 04 Sitting With Your Beloved Sourdough

Let us scratch the anthropocentric view of life again in our new episode! During the pandemic, many of you grew monsters in the fridge: homemade sourdough. I'll tell you about the secrets of our countryside traditions. How they used to feed these monsters even after midnight. Today, scientists are studying the dirt that makes this possible. A fascinating being will tell you how important healthy soil is: for your brain, your gut and your immune system, and also apparently for mental health. An episode teeming with microorganisms. Let's visit all these microscopically tiny friends that form more cells in our body than we have human ones. How human are our bodies? Or how alien?
