What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I like this podcast, but the episodes are usually a bit disappointing and I can’t quite put my finger on why. I click on ones that catch my attention and then the conversation will end up being different than the title indicates or the questions that are being asked are too vague or broad. I think this podcast has great potential if they improve their interview skills! Still one of my go-to podcasts for new herbal medicine information.

I’m so glad Mountain Rose Herbs has this channel. I have a long commute home from work in the afternoon and since listening to this podcast while I drive home, I see I’m learning interesting facts about herbs, and ways to incorporate changes into my life It’s very refreshing to listen, and I prefer this podcast to music in the afternoon!

Manny8000 · Apr 2026

Love this podcast so much! It brings a wide lense of the herbal world into focus to discuss current matters. It does a great job at staying mostly science/botany focused with great historical references and isn’t afraid to bring up current situations in relation to the herbal world 💕

The Rosemary Gladstar episode was so inspiring and such a good overview of the herbal community. Great reminder of how beneficial these amazing plants are to every aspect of life ♥️

Dealfinder · Dec 2021

I wanted to love this podcast. I found it incredibly off topic of herbal studies MOST of the time. The guests go on tangents MOST are unrelated. I find only a few sentences of each 40 minute conversation that I resonate with in my desire to learn more about herbalism. Alot of the conversations go in the direction of political feelings of the guest & happenings/changes in the herbal community which does not interest me in anyway. This isnt a podcast for a beginner wanting to learn or really any herbal seeker.

I consider myself a spiritual person, but I hate how most herbalism talks from this channel and its guests (and many others in the herbalism world) seem to focus so much on the spiritual aspect of herbalism. It’s HIGHLY alienating to people who don’t share those beliefs at all, or to people who ARE spiritual, but don’t share the same views. So many people think herbalism is “alternative medicine” or that it is for hippies, hipsters, and quacks! I truly believe people think that way because of this obsession with spiritism. I went on a plant walk with an herbalist last year and all he could talk about was how these plants open your third eye or bring out the lion in Leos born in August. I’m not into astrology. I don’t believe in third eyes. I just want to learn how to identify plants safely, use them in my life, and respect the earth. This appreciation is not exclusive to someone who likes astrology and spiritism. More than Half the attendees were rolling their eyes and the other half was split - either they were into it or didn’t know what to think. I felt it was a HUGE missed opportunity to connect with people of all mindsets. An opportunity this podcast is also missing, too. A compromise would be to offer at least half of the content with the more scientific person in mind, and the other half can focus on the souls of your plant friends and mercury being in retrograde if that floats peoples boats. It’s reinforcing the “Kookie/weirdo/ hipster” stereotype that plant lovers constantly endure! My own husband told me once that foraging sounded “hippy dippy.” if we taught herbalism the same way we teach other sciences with some modifications to make it fun people wouldn’t think that way. It wouldn’t be an alternative. It’d be a STANDARD!
