Old Fashioned On Purpose - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love to read her blog as well as through the transcripts of the podcast. Jill does a great job describing HOW to opt out of systems, question systems and being able articulate her why. I would love to see a season that covers various systems, and how we got to where we are today. Education, health, food industry, and other areas where government and other higher powers/money have influenced our systems.

Generally love the content - especially the practical homesteading content - but very turned off by the “spiritual” “energy” talk regarding plants. I love gardening & absolutely feel peace when I am in nature; however, I am interested in actual how-to information regarding how to improve my gardening skills, not spiritualizing plants & nature. Had to stop listening halfway through the interview. Hope you stay focused on the nuts & bolts of things - you’re great at that & that is the content I highly value. Just wanted to offer some honest, constructive feedback.

The seed starting info you covered with Shawn was one of the best gardening podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I loved every minute and learned a ton. WOW!

Thank you for being willing to push back on the group think and echo chambers that so many find themselves drawn into! So refreshing. I found myself nodding and agreeing out loud as I drove and listened. I’m a freedom loving Christian conservative who is so over all the hatred, labeling, and unwillingness to engage with others who might look or think differently, across the political spectrum. Our culture and heritage is rooted in the ability to disagree in a civil and thoughtful way, and I fear for our future if more people aren’t willing to break away from hero worship and media personalities and appreciate the nuance and perspectives of others, on both left and right! While I may disagree profoundly with a person’s politics or lifestyle, I can engage with them first of all as a fellow human being, find areas of common ground to connect with, and if the situation calls for it, debate based on facts and reason, rather than descending into emotional and tone-deaf attacks. It’s a hard thing, but we can do it! Our culture and future depend on it.

I sooo want to love this podcast. Such a wealth of information and great guests. But talking over the guests and interrupting just is so disrespectful and I can’t focus on any of the content. The worst was the seed starting episode. I desperately wanted to hear the content but had to stop listening because of all the interrupting.
