Perfect intersection of food, ag + current events

I've really love how your podcast has evolved. It's so refreshingly interesting and thought provoking to listen too, yet fun at the same time. It's the perfect intersection of food and agriculture and current events. No good old boys club here. Not boring news either or the same ol' podcast approach.

Interesting information

I like hearing both sides for sure to the plant based versus animal based controversy, but I don’t think these 2 even try to understand the negative impact of agriculture. It would be one thing to acknowledge it is an issue, but they try too hard to defend it acting as if our system right now is sustainable.

Cali girl

Hi, I live by the beach in California… we have chickens and wish we could have a little farm but our neighbors might draw the line there haha! I walk my dogs everyday and Thursdays are my favorite because I get to hear you podcast! It’s a refreshing change from the murder/crime podcasts or 100% health based podcasts I listen to. I love your banter with eachother and the information you guys share! It is entertaining and informative! Thank you!
