A Lancaster-based hemp podcast that has attracted national attention will travel across 25 states starting this week to spread what its host says is an urgent message â industrial hemp can help heal environmental damage
âHemp gives farmers the chance to save the world,â said Industrial Hemp Podcast host Eric Hurlock, who produces the weekly show for Lancaster Farming, a publication of LNP Media Group, which also publishes LNP | LancasterOnline. âIf we were to grow it in great enough mass, we can recreate the lungs of the world.â
This message, and the fact that most people think of CBD and marijuana when hemp comes up, is whatâs motivated Hurlock and his industrial hemp industry sponsors to hatch a plan to hit the road for six weeks, collecting and presenting information and stories about the wider applications of this crop.

Comics are not just about superheroes. Emily Oomen meets the artists shaping graphic medicine - a genre focused on the experience of living with illness.
Ellen Forney was in her twenties and working as a professional cartoonist when she stumbled into the world of graphic medicine.
The artist had been working for one of Seattle s long-running newspapers The Stranger when, in 1998 and just before she turned 30, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
She says the diagnosis sank in like the sun had gone behind the clouds .
Comics had always been a familiar language and format for Forney. She turned to them looking for comfort and was excited to discover a new genre she had never heard of - graphic medicine.
