The perfect podcast

It’s education. It’s easy to listen to while multitasking. It feels like you’re talking with a friend. And they’re the perfect length! Between 15-30 minutes. Perfect for my drive to town. She covers many topics of the homestead world! Oh and also very good quality audio. There’s nothing worse than great topics but crap audio. But none of that here, all very good audio!! Amy keeps it real and it feels like you’re just hanging out.

So much fun and informative too

The hostess is adorable, very sassy, intelligent, interesting, and thought provoking. The things she’s learned from living a farmish kind of life are readily shared. The good and the bad! Her husband and her boys are blessed to have someone who is so engaged in their life and education. I definitely get inspired to get out and do something after listening to her stories.
