  • Thank you Paul

    Paul I have been a podcast listener from way back like around 2010 or something. Love to listen while I drive or ride. I have only now started to try my hand at growing (2021). Been working on planting as many different fruit and nut trees on my property as I can. Up to 20 trees with two of everything (on 1.02 acres in Louisiana). Keep going with everything you are doing because some of us are slow to follow your lead but we are out here trying.

  • Essential listening to any permaculturist or just looking for awesome inspiration

    Paul’s podcast may appear a little esoteric. That’s because he’s talking about a subject he’s passionate about - permaculture. Permaculture is also a hard subject to get your head around. The fasts way to get that knowledge is listening to these podcasts and heading over to his website, which is what I did. It wont be long before they begin to make so much sense as your head fills with the awesomeness.

  • This podcast is only for cool people :-)

    Paul Wheaton is not for everybody, and that’s OK. For one, the dude curses. A fair amount. (There’s a reason it’s marked “explicit.”) Next the things he proposes are pretty far from the mainstream. Probably past your comfort level. I like listening to this podcast because it’s about building a better world through learning new things, instead of being angry at bad guys. Lord knows there’s enough to be angry about. Spend some time pondering alternatives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Podcast 704 – Homestead Living Magazine
Q: Do you have the same concerns about heat drying out wood near a rocket mass heater?
Yes, concerns exist primarily about temperatures exceeding 140 degrees near wood structures, but the design minimizes heat transfer to those areas.
Podcast 704 – Homestead Living Magazine
Q: So, what's the best way to handle a situation where there's some coals at the bottom and some sticks in there, but it couldn't really stick in a normal-sized stick?
You can put a bunch of paper or cardboard to burn quickly and raise the temperature, which will allow you to then add full-size sticks after that.
Podcast 685 – Christmas RMH Special – Part 1
Q: How are you managing to keep the heating stable during the colder months?
By adjusting the burning schedule and learning how to maintain optimal temperatures in various living spaces.
Podcast 647 – Wheaton Biography – Part 1
Q: How did you go from computer engineer guy to gardener, permaculture guy?
I was an adult in 1993; after some experiences of pulling weeds during my childhood, I decided to buy seeds and start gardening. After a series of failures, I became obsessed with reading gardening books and improving my skills.
Podcast 648 – Wheaton Biography – Part 2
Q: Have your relationships been affected by your permaculture lifestyle or mindset, and how?
Yes, the relationships have changed, as those fully engaged with permaculture often seem disillusioned with others who claim to be involved but do not act accordingly.
