I am really digging the tree episodes in particular. Reprieve from politics and people and great overview of the mechanics and behavior of the trees. Dig the other episodes as well. Podcast is light but not too fluffy. Thanks guys!
TreeIND · Apr 2022
I thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast on my way to work. I own a very small tree company just outside of St. Louis Missouri. While there is no substitute for experience, I know that I have been able to really step up my game with the information that this podcast provides. I enjoy the stories that the cast share and the overall structure. I always look forward to hearing what Jake the Rake has to say when he is on.
Tappy Tree Trimming · Dec 2021
Great podcast with informative discussions and guest. Round table format similar to hanging out in the shop on a Friday after a long week of tree work. From consulting arborists with vast experience like Scott D Baker to 2005 world tree climbing champion Dan Kraus, each guest brings a different angle to the discussion. With a growing catalog of subjects and receptive hosts your bound to learn something or hear your favorite subjects from the world of arboriculture discussed.

This podcast has it all. Trees, climbing, laughing, raking, stools... a great perspective wrapped in hilarity coated in experience. The shows are loaded with tangents twisting and turning finally forming a gnarly sprawling structure like a great Quercus Garryanna silhouetted against a dramatic valley sunset.
