What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been on a mission trying every regenerative practice I can in my neighborhood yard. I have clay soil and I have southern grass that doesn’t want you to grow anything else and demands great amounts of water and is temperamental at best. As I have navigated soil health, I read a book by Elaine Ingram. I found Korean natural farming and then I met Mr. Kempf at a homesteading event in Waco, Texas. I sat on the edge of my seat scribbling feverishly and I was so delighted to find that he has documented much of the things he’s learned and is learning. Every episode I have listened to so far has caused me to think deeper and put more things into practice to heal my soil. Thank you, John Kempf.

But I enjoy learning and listening to this natural, scientific and beautiful way of producing the food we consume! Thank you for all you do to restore our food supply with health by cultivating nutrient rich soil and thereby food .

Not a farmer, but a home gardener who stumbled upon this podcast via the James White interview. I am so inspired by the conversations, information sharing and innovation presented in this podcast. To echo a previous reviewer, this podcast gives me hope! There really ARE brilliant people, all over the world, working on bettering our systems of food production and understanding how nature’s design really works.

Really enjoy the podcast and the level of detail covered. I have learned a lot. However, it feels a lot like a boys club, wish there were a bit more diversity in the people being interviewed.

Phloem Flower Farm · Jan 2024

I was surprised and disappointed to hear a highly touted guest proclaim that he wasn’t sure if climate change was really happening and be given ample time to waffle and cast doubt on what is established science. In addition, the same guest made it sound like all animal agriculture is fine—that eutrophication and other water pollution isn’t happening, that methane from ruminants isn’t an issue. C’mon. The science is there. This makes you, the host, look like a fool. Take some time to talk about the nuance—CAFOs are bad. A lot of animal agriculture IS bad. Sell your own model. Please—debunk and clarify when your guests make spurious claims.
