  • Just want the minimalism content

    Not interested in the podcaster’s irrelevant left wing spiels. Disappointing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anti-Convenience
Q: What would you say to people who want to learn a self-sufficient skill but do not know anyone in their community who can teach them?
Eplett recommends online tutorials, local homesteading groups, agricultural extension workshops and asking farmers about workshops or apprenticeships.
Anti-Convenience
Q: What would you say to listeners who think homesteading or self-sufficiency is too far removed from modern life?
Eplett says people can still use modern services while reducing dependence on outside sources. She recommends starting with one manageable skill, rather than needing land, animals or a fully self-sufficient lifestyle.
Good Dirt
Q: What would be step one for me if I wanted to get more compost, more regularly?
Marketos recommends improving visibility and access to the pile, keeping it moist, balancing browns and greens, and turning it about once a week to encourage faster decomposition.
Good Dirt
Q: So why do we need to take responsibility for the waste we're creating, in your opinion?
Marketos says that throwing waste away shifts the problem to someone else, while composting helps people see how much they discard and can prompt them to consume less.
No Scrap Left Behind
Q: The hungry kid test, what is it?
Pilgrim imagines a garbage can on one side and a hungry child on the other. If she would not give the food to the child, it does not count as food waste and can be composted; otherwise, she tries to save or use it.
