  • Propagandist?

    When you have a 40 minute conversation with a bad reporter and neither of you stated that the State’s eye witnesses never saw how the incident starts, what else should you be called?

  • Great interviews-great host

    Nerd Farmer kinda threw me because my favorite episodes don’t relate to agriculture. Housing policy, structural inequalities, and quality of life discussions are all things the Nerd Farmer talks about. Thanks nerd farmer - peace.
