  <description>In this mini episode,  Post-Growth Australia Podcast reunites with Dr.  Shane Simonson.

We caught up with Shane to get an update of the farm - including the addition of some new four legged residents - only to discover that Shane has branched out accross many projects including:
Cohosting the Going To Seed Podcast. (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-going-to-seed-podcast/id1713240427).
