Love the topics, the hosts sound so scripted and robotic that they can be hard to listen to. Maybe instead of it reading [Michael] “the humble beet, which we were lucky enough to sample. So delicious.”
[Jessica] “Sooo good.”
They can just write [Michael praises dish]
[Jessica affirms]
And maybe the hosts will sound natural?
Anyway, thanks for supporting farmers and bringing their issues to our attention!
Great insights into the history of the farm movement and the intersection with music. Excellent guests for each episode.
I love podcasts and am very excited to see this with Farm Aid. I attended 2023 Farm Aid. It was absolutely the best show I’ve ever been to. The podcast will bring awareness to people on this subject. I grew up on a farm in Southern IN, I know the struggles. I support my local farmers as much as possible.! ❤️
