Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t
by Tony Santore
April 13, 2024 2:44 pm
A show about plants as viewed through the lens of evolution and ecology with a side of deranged ranting, crass humor, occasional profanity, & the perpetual search for the filthiest taqueria bathroom.
Plant ecology, systematics, taxonomy, floral chemistry, biogeography and more.
Joey Santore was a degenerate railroader for 15 years during which he taught himself Botany by reading textbooks and research papers in the cab of the locomotive while stealing time from work. He has traveled to 11 different countries studying plant communities. He is the host of the YouTube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t and the host of the show Kill Your Lawn on EarthX TV.
