Parsons Healthy Materials Lab Launches New Podcast: Trace Material 🔊
We’re excited to give you something new to listen to!
Today, you can listen to the trailer to our brand new podcast––Trace Material where we explore the intersection of our lives and the lives of the materials that surround us. Now more than ever we hope this podcast allows you to reflect on new opportunities that will be open to us in the future as we redesign the places where we live.
Season one focuses on hemp––one of the two main ingredients in the superstar healthy material often called Hempcrete or HempLime. Although it seems much of the US has gone hemp crazy, Trace Material thinks about hemp critically. We look into the history of American agriculture, the 2018 Farm Bill, and hemp’s potential to right some of the social and environmental wrongs of the country’s past.
Episode 1: “Hemp in the Bluegrass” will be released next week on April 8th, 2020. We hope you enjoy the trailer in the meantime. Please subscribe on the podcast platform of your choice to receive the episode as soon as it’s released! Give us a 5 star review if you like what you hear!

Welcome to Lime Diaries, where HML Design Director, Jonsara Ruth, travels around the world investigating lime. And no, we’re not talking about the citrus fruit— we’re talking about the building material that’s been used for millennia, and that has the power to remediate toxics from the air we breathe. Each week she travels to new places to discover their unique material cultures and recipes for making lime into durable surfaces. Installments 1-3 are now on medium!
