Caitlyn and Beth sit down with Aaron to talk about Twenty20, industry trends, and intentional breeding. Aaron tells us about their early strains and some secret upcoming projects.

Don joins us to discuss his passion for cannabis and everything that paved the way to Sin City Seeds. Originating from one of the states with the harshest cannabis laws - he had previously worked to keep out of the public eye, even going by "D" for a time, so this episode felt particularly revelatory. This one should be intriguing to breeders because Don gives us a little background on the iconic staples of Sin City Seeds, some of the recent drops, and the exciting new crosses coming later this month.
