“I really loved this podcast, but I’ve unsubscribed because of guest commentary on politics. I listen to gardening podcast precisely because I don’t want to hear politics. Very disappointed to have to leave.”

“I have enjoyed Cultivating Place but it definitely has an aura of elitism, wealth and privilege. Ironically a few episodes have been about interviewees altering their gardens to specifically grow plants from other zones/eco-regions!! Not exactly ‘cultivating place’!!”

“I was enjoying this show until she said that Merriweather Lewis discovered a berry while searching for the Shoshani (sp?) Indians. How can Europeans “discover” flora and fauna in a place that’s been inhabited by native people for thousands of years??
