Agave Day - Plants & Beats
Friday, 24 July, 2026
It's the Season 2 finale of Plants & Beats, and the timing couldn't be more fitting.It’s Rob Bell's birthday and National Tequila Day; this special episode brings back friend of the show Chris Lindstrom—food and drink writer, podcast host, and spirits expert—for a conversation centered around one of the world's most fascinating plants: the agave.Together, Rob and Chris unpack the history and craftsmanship behind tequila, the cultural traditions surrounding birthday celebrations and raising a glass with friends, and the remarkable agave plant itself.The episode also marks the end of another season, as Rob looks back on 27 episodes of Plants & Beats. From conversations with artists, photographers, advocates, musicians, and entrepreneurs to lessons inspired by the natural world, Season 2 has been a celebration of community, creativity, wellness, and the quiet wisdom plants have to offer.This week's featured plant is agave. Known for taking years—even decades—to mature before reaching its full potential, agave reminds us that meaningful things can't be rushed. Patience, intention, and time are often the ingredients behind life's greatest rewards.As always, the conversation is accompanied by a warm, reflective lo-fi soundtrack produced and mixed by Aloefi.Featured GuestChris LindstromFood & Drink Writer • Spirits Expert • Podcast HostPlant of the WeekAgave (Agave spp.)Tell Us About YourselfTake the Plants & Beats Listener Survey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScwnaae3QK2xFWy5nS_cYiwrjAjXfGc8GHBp_lr9E-RGuv7xg/viewform?usp=headerListen to More AloefiBest of Aloefi (Apple Music):https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/best-of-aloefi/pl.u-vxy68aYC8X3dpRBest of Aloefi (Spotify):https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2IlQUrBY5eqcYkZQzRw7Mo?si=T0v930l5Ts6rSz-OqYnkygPlants & Beats is hosted by Rob Bell, produced in partnership with the Lunchador Podcast Network, and features original music produced and mixed by Aloefi.Thank you for joining us throughout Season 2.
