Honey

Ask any beekeeper about the sound of bees working, and they’ll tell you: It’s a gripping sound - the sound of hard work, of production, of interconnection. This episode of Canned Peaches is taking us to the beehives at three Missouri farms - one small farm and producer in central Missouri, another in Spanish Lake in St. Louis County, where Black and BIPOC beekeepers and producers find meditation and connection through audio and bees. And we’ll road-trip to a southwest Missouri farm and research center where veterans are beekeeping for resilience and community. And of course for honey. We’re going out to explore honey, and the world of sound involved in producing it.

“Lately” by Stevie Wonder and Jodeci

Stephanie Shonekan sat down with her sister dean, Kimberly Griffin, to talk about “Lately,” a classic breakup song that Stevie Wonder released in 1980. The song itself is a crushing glimpse into a relationship that’s slowly becoming one-sided. And when Jodeci covered the song in 1993, the group members infused it with their own range of emotion (because there’s lots of it to go around during a breakup, even the one-sided kind). In this episode, Stephanie and Kimberly break down the artists’ different approaches to “Lately” and reminisce over the era of ‘90s boy groups.
