Second Cutting is a documentary-style podcast from South Louisiana about land, cattle, and the people who keep both alive. Host Amelia Cronan (systems + storytelling) sits down with Dr. Shannon Gonsoulin (rancher, veterinarian) to translate the real work behind food: seasons and weather, grazing decisions, animal care, land-use pressure, and the community networks that make a place last. This isn’t farm aesthetic or marketing gloss. It’s clear, grounded conversations about how land becomes animals, animals become food, and why that chain matters—now more than ever.
