  • Episode 108: At work in the ruins.

    Has to be the most thought provoking, challenging, reinforcing, heartening, illuminating podcast interview I’ve listened to in a long while. Such clear sighted map making and navigation along the multiple paths and ways we need to think about and negotiate to bring people and food back together if we are to make the best of life in a collapsing human world. Thank you both, Duvall and ffinlo, for re-energising this 70- something rural refugee of 50yrs seeking ways to rebuild and rejuvenate the ‘m... more

  • One of the Best

    Farm Gate is a fabulous podcast - not just because of the subject matter (which is fascinating and important) but also the delivery from both the host and guests. Questions are pertinent and intelligent, and the responses are considered and meaningful. An absolute pleasure to listen to, and so encouraging to hear from the pioneers and change makers making a difference in the complex and challenging world we live in. Thanks to all.

  • Insightful, Inspiring, Educational

    Just listened to the episode on Regenerative Agriculture and wish the entire podcast could be about this - so inspiring, thoughtful, and encouraging. Clearly looked at the issues and offered real world solutions.

    Also fairly impressed that they were able to talk to the ‘Conservative Environmental Network’ without falling about laughing (or weeping) at the irony. But the interviewer kept their cool and it was useful to hear how the ruling class justifies itself to itself.

    All round, really g... more
