    I’ve been listening to The Farm Report for a few years now, with good reason. Solid, thought-provoking two-way dialog about sustainable agriculture and the good food movement, with compelling sources and a knowledgeable host. Something to think about every time.

  • Might be good content but terrible language use

    Filler words are abundant in the single episode I listen to. I can’t move past the “um”, “right”, and “like” of both the guest and the presenter. It clogs down the conversation in a way that sounds like nails on a chalkboard. With more practice and awareness of the words the podcast might be enjoyable.

  • Fact checking need not apply

    I just listened to your podcast with Big picture beef. It is complete garbage. Zero facts in the whole show. Absolute garbage. Basically a hour of fear tactic marketing to sell their brand.
