Ganja Granny
Karen Michel
"Ganja Granny" is an experimental podcast combining a sonic environment and auditory exploration with solid information aimed at seniors and curious others wishing to explore the new cannabis territory. Older adults (50+) are the fastest-growing population of cannabis users — and the most underserved when it comes to real, no-nonsense information. No scare tactics, no hype. Information, not advocacy. Each episode runs about 15 minutes — interviews with consumers and experts, music, field recordings, dispensary visits, lively conversations. The kind of sonic storytelling that only a career audio artist brings to a subject.
Ganja... What Is It Good For? - Part 2
The latest episode of the Ganja Granny podcast is Part 2 of “Ganja... What Is It Good For?” where scientists, doctors, and regular people weigh in on what’s been verified, whether by science or personal experience, about some of the directions that it’s been shown weed can help with wellness.For an upcoming show I’m looking for recipes, for a holiday episode on cooking (and baking) with ganja. If you’re a chef, whether professional or adventurous home, please get in touch…and if you know one, please ask them to do so! The recipes can be mailed (and all forms are welcome; could be video or audio) to me at [email protected]. Thank you!
