  • Inspirational!

    I have watched the film and bought the book, now comes the podcast! Richard and Claire are doing a really great job of building and expanding this inspirational story. The guests such as Temple Grandin and Gabe Brown are at the very tip of visionary thinking in this field (excuse the pun!).

    As an organic farmer I’m excited about making our farming even better.

    I have just listened to the episode on soil and look forward to working backwards with the previous episodes. Lovely questions from children about worms. Please do an episode on soil microbes very soon.

  • Great podcast 😊👍🏼

    I watched the documentary and then discovered this amazing podcast. I’ve listened to three episodes and each has been truly enlightening. The coffee episode has made me decide to buy more responsibly- I’ll get educated and informed. Even if I go down to one really good cup a day.

    Thank you, keep up the good work
