  • Great Topics — Could Use Some Work

    I like this podcast, but the episodes are usually a bit disappointing and I can’t quite put my finger on why. I click on ones that catch my attention and then the conversation will end up being different than the title indicates or the questions that are being asked are too vague or broad. I think this podcast has great potential if they improve their interview skills! Still one of my go-to podcasts for new herbal medicine information.

  • So glad I tuned in

    I’m so glad Mountain Rose Herbs has this channel. I have a long commute home from work in the afternoon and since listening to this podcast while I drive home, I see I’m learning interesting facts about herbs, and ways to incorporate changes into my life It’s very refreshing to listen, and I prefer this podcast to music in the afternoon!

  • Off topic, ramble, unrelated

    I wanted to love this podcast. I found it incredibly off topic of herbal studies MOST of the time. The guests go on tangents MOST are unrelated. I find only a few sentences of each 40 minute conversation that I resonate with in my desire to learn more about herbalism. Alot of the conversations go in the direction of political feelings of the guest & happenings/changes in the herbal community which does not interest me in anyway. This isnt a podcast for a beginner wanting to learn or really any ... more

  • Interviewer is weak

    Good people and topics but the interviewer is too unfocused; interviews could use direction, introspection or deeper inquiry. Came for the Wild Carrot Herbals interview bc I love that company but it was just listening to friends talk about how much they like different places in the world, towns, etc and making plans to talk again. Didn’t come away knowing much more if anything about the Wild Carrot story. Felt annoyed!

  • LOVE 🌿

    Love this podcast so much! It brings a wide lense of the herbal world into focus to discuss current matters. It does a great job at staying mostly science/botany focused with great historical references and isn’t afraid to bring up current situations in relation to the herbal world 💕
