    I’ve listened to almost all of the podcasts. Historically, I’ve enjoyed the homesteading content but the last years worth of episodes are more religious. I’m catholic so it’s interesting but not what I’m really here for.

I say this as a Christian, homeschooling wife in a large home on a farm! This is only one example, but there have been several instances where I scratch my head a bit and would probably enjoy some light debate if I were sitting in the room with them. I do... more
