The Modern Extractor

by Jason Showard

The Modern Extractor is a podcast about the processes, equipment, and science found inside a cannabis extraction laboratory. Season one focuses on the process of ethanol extraction and post processing into either distillate or isolate. Season two focuses on hydrocarbon extraction and the craft concentrates that it can produce. Each episode digs deep into a particular stage in the extraction and finishing processes, and we discuss the various approaches with industry expert guests. Episodes are released in an order which follows the work flow through a lab, following material closely through the process from cultivar to concentrate. RSSVERIFY

Jason does an amazing job of asking the right questions and leaving no stone unturned for SOPs. Has great use of jargon and breaking down scientific terms so us “layman’s” can understand. Thank you for all the hard work to make this podcast possible 💗🙏🏼

I have learned a lot in the last week and a half of listening to this podcast. From hydrocarbon extraction to solventless to EtOH. This has made an impact on my team of 23 employees helping them become more educated in the field they are so passionate about. I would pay money for this information and it is accessible for free. Thank you for everything you have done so far and cannot wait for future episodes.
