This is my favorite podcast. I look forward to it every week and have gone back and listened to all the episodes. Great guests, down to earth hosts and an all around enjoyable listen every time. As a backyard native gardener I appreciate Tom and Fran making the content digestible for those of us without a formal background. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to better steward the land they own, no matter how small or large!
This is a great podcast for folks wanting to learn more about our native plants and native habitats! Even though it is based out of New Jersey it applies to all habitats and areas in the U.S.
This is the only podcast I listen to that is mostly two dudes getting hype about something and I love it. Great guests, cool topics. My garden has definitely been improved by listening.
Subscribed after listening to an author interview, then unsubscribed after a recent pod where hosts bumbled through a defense of using AI, citing stock market and how it’s actually… combatting climate change? This lukewarm, defeatist take is not what I need from an environmental podcast, these guys obviously don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to AI or data centers, they’re clearly tech-pilled and it’s sad to see. Just admit you’re wrong on AI and put your energy back into the wo... more
This is one that is a must catch every week for me. I love listening while I’m pulling weeds in my own native garden. Or doing the dishes. Or walking the dogs. It’s just a good listen! Tom and Fran are super relatable and funny, I always enjoy the banter! I learn new things from the pod often, and I love their attitude that there is always something new for them to learn too. The guests are always interesting and inspiring, but my favorite are the Buzz episodes! Thanks to you both, all the way f... more
