1036 The Dirt Man

In this episode, Dr's J and Santhosh discuss why they keep a little dirt under their pillow for the dirt man! Along the way, they cover millennial earworms, the dirt man song, the four classes of soil borne disease, new jersey and the history of streptomycin, Bob dole, citizen science, malicidins, metagenomics, drug resistance in soil, selfish bacteria, geophagy, open verse challenges, nautical dirt and more! SO sit back and relax as we build an entire episode out of a tiktok song!
