  • Fantastic farming podcast

    I’m a farmer and I love listening to this podcast while I work! Michael interviews many different types of farms at various scales, so there is a lot of diversity within the content. I always finish an episode with lots of new ideas. I love that he always asks farmers what advice they have for folks who are just starting their farms. It feels like a continuation of The Farmer to Farmer Podcast.

  • “Ironic podcast host…..

    …makes it painful to listen”

    Ever wonder what it would be like to listen to a podcast hosted by an AI generated host?….. Now is your chance! I think he might be Ferris Bueller-ing the interview with recorded questions, mmmm hmmm’s and gotcha’s while he’s down the hall making a sandwich.

    He should at least PRETEND to be interested since he’s the host or, use the bathroom before the interview.

    In a word, I’d call it unbearable.
