This Big Blend Radio podcast features Appalachian naturalist David Parrish, who discusses his book “The Gyroscope of Life: Understanding Balances (and Imbalances) in Nature” that releases through Pocahontas Press in June 2020.

In “The Gyroscope of Life” Parrish tackles concepts relating to biology and agriculture while sharing his personal experiences with religion, battling illness and more, proving not only that science is relevant to daily life, but that it profoundly impacts all of our lives. Whether you’re curious about the sustainability of modern agriculture or the accuracy of “The Big Bang Theory” theme song, David Parrish will move you to think like a scientist in his insightful, unconventional — and often humorous — love song to biology.

Featured music is “Loving the Land” by singer-songwriter Wally Lawder.
