  • One of the best Pods ever

    If we want to understand the place we have come to in the US, we absolutely must know and learn from the history described here. The turns of capitalism, from the British enclosures to 40 acres and a mule to Woody Guthrie’s lyrics, this pod connects and clarifies the threads of land, class, ecology and politics with the help of scholars who actually know what they are talking about! It should be a basic text for everyone trying to bring about change today.

Sarah’s outlook uses all ... more

  • Great first episode on farmland and food

    Informative look at some of the assumptions we hold about U.S. farmland and where our food comes from. I always enjoy how Sarah Mock explores and questions our commonly held beliefs about farms. Also appreciated the perspectives of the podcast guests. Looking forward to more.

  • Super informative for the Ag-Curious

    I really enjoyed this first episode and was able to learn a lot about farmland in the US and several misconceptions around it, like where it comes from. Great first episode!
