Hmm, so I did listen. No big surprises…
[edit, this is about the science witch podcast which just came out, not the one KiwiFuzz just mentioned]
It was Penny and Jay who is the permaculture expert (I had thought that was Jarrod?). They sounded fairly upbeat. Those two, their voices are basically normal male voices to me, not too grating to listen to.
Apparently the documentary has just been finished and will be out soon, and Ash Coyote is filming something else with them now.
The number one problem they have is inter-group social issues, you’ll be astonished to hear. Thinly veiled references to toxic people who don’t fit in.
They’re doing some landscaping work to make money currently - they only work for old rich liberals.
Some sad tales of chicken flocks being wiped out by predators. Penny doesn’t mind killing chickens though as they aren’t cute. A neighbouring rancher got the blame for bringing in a disease that killed a lot of their sheep.
A fair amount of dubious claims. E.g. the land was terribly over-grazed when they got there, and they’re improving it. Alpaca pay for themselves in yarn sales no problem.
The fascists got a few mentions, and apparently the big attack was all captured for the documentary so it will be genuinely interesting to see what happened there.
All in all, a puff piece, but worth a listen.
