Paddy the sheep via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/15/24
First class podcasting from Michael who manages to knit together the personal journeys of his guests with dynamite information exchange and humour. It has been a god send during a soaking wet 2024 lambing season and I am looking forward to my creating my first rotational grazing block later this...Read full review »

Great show, a brilliant insight into multiple modern agri thinking coupled with what inspires continual improvement progressive thinkers. Even if you’re not looking for the technical agri fix, there’s a lot to be taken on a leadership and well-being front. Keep up the good work.

Funny and informative with inspirational guests, everything a super podcast should be!

Great podcast with quirky/clever humour and a lot of great information. It’s certainly made me think more about my farming disease and ways to ease my symptoms.
Stuart Tillbrook via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/10/23
The podcast that has it all….. if you like grazing. A mix of hilarious oddball humour and genuinely interesting, personal interviews with some fascinating people. 5 stars ⭐️

This is brilliant - Michael has a knack of tapping into some excellent knowledge from his guests, every episode delivers fresh insights (which I am continually implementing on our farm) and it is always highly entertaining - essential listening. Recommend sign up to the extra bits on patreon too...Read full review »

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to all episodes, thank you. Anywaaayy, I’ve a picture in my mind of a talking rye grass plant these days and it’s a bit of an animal (bit like the peperami)

Farming and chat. A lot to be learnt and an easy listen! Keep it up

I love this podcast, brilliant technical farming information mixed with interesting life stories a surprisingly good interview technique and terrible (but funny) jokes!
TomTheVet via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/16/21
Fantastic podcast, very informative and a fun listen.
Tom Hop via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/07/21
I’ve been following Michael since the third episode and thought it high time I got around to a review. Brilliant interview style. I learn something every episode. Grazed grass grows grass! Probably be buying Exlana sheep next. Keep it coming Michael
Strefford Stabiliser via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/24/21
Uplifting thoughtful and insightful chat with some really interesting people who happen to do some farming stuff. Mo is the clear star of the show, Michael’s theme tunes are woefully bad (good), can’t wait for the next one……
AndyMacd44 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/19/21
Glad your back
farmstyle92 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/10/21
Mike’s style of interview and his established relationships with many of the interviewees leads to both revealing personal and “pasture” insights combined with excellent “profit nuggets”. This has gotten me more “pumped up” about pasture. Would be delighted if there were more “Pasture...Read full review »

Really enjoyable, most informative but also very amusing and easy to listen to. Would agree with another reviewer that a little more volume would be helpful
nomdeplur via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/20
I love your pod cast , it’s very interesting to me as a farmer, however when I’m listening to it I’m usually driving a tractor so it’s noisy , could you make it louder? I’m not old old and deaf
Pete harland uk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/17/20
I love the conversations with farmers and farming experts and a real highlight is the conversation with Mo the dog, especially the jokes !
peta_k1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/22/20
That second interview was interesting a lot of that is what we do here in New Zealand with the pasture mixes and things rotational grazing and and it was interesting to hear what he had to say about Colin
Wizza1012 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 08/18/20
Good to have you back for series 2. Got concerned after listening to the DMC at the end of series 1. Love your interview style. Getting much deeper and they have a much more sincere feel to it than R&R Farming. Writing this review simply because of the Outro music with Rhys about Climate...Read full review »

Keep up your brilliant podcasts. Really interesting and inspiring discussions.
Cowboysupper via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/01/20
Great stuff, best farming podcast by a country mile. Keep on being a dick , Michael.
Luing cow via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/04/19
I have listened to all episodes over the last summer and have enjoyed every second (including maybe 70% of the theme tunes!!). The style of the interviews is perfectly balanced, Michael poses tough but entirely relevant questions amongst the top banter and serious livestock/pasture chat. Lots...Read full review »

Fantastic, Could listen to these all day and everyday! Great to learn and hear wee snippets of advice and ideas from others that would have likely cost me years to find out myself! Please please keep it up!!
ahdhfkskf via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/20/19
Great podcast for the seasoned farmer or a complete novice like me trying to understand pasture and how to farm well. Funny and insightful with pearls of wisdom. No comment on the theme tunes. Keep up the good work!
Joshe b via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/03/19
Such an interesting, stimulating and funny of cast. All about grass, grazing, farmers and life stories. No better way to spend a long drive than in the company of The Pasture Pod.
Horseburt via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/25/19
Great pod, learn a little from each episode. I enjoy the variety in farming operations from beef, dairy, sheep etc... as a dairy farmer I particularly like the dairy episodes.
Wisconsin pork via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/19
Im a late adopter of podcasts and have signed up for a few lately - I can safely say this is the most addictive one yet! I spend hours and hours driving and have found all episodes great so far. I hacked through Michael Shannon with ease and couldn’t believe that grass varieties and reseeding...Read full review »

Great content, host has a good sense of honour too.
Mickllicker via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/27/19
I had been recommended this podcast by a friend and was initially sceptical especially as not being from teh farming community. But truly glad i listened. Michael is born for this, incredibly funny, i was in complete stiches and such a good interviewer on informative subjects. This podcast is...Read full review »

What else would you want to listen to. Great farming podcast. Interesting questions, great variety of folk.
justride via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/25/18
Wonderful mix of honest interviews, irreverence, dry wit and hardcore pasture chat. Great listen.
J0hn13 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 08/10/18
Really enjoying this podcast Michael. Great to listen to progressive farmers talking in detail about what makes them tick. Please keep them coming. Just work harder at the theme tune!
Will Hafod via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/22/18
I don’t even have any need to listen to a podcast about pasture but I love listening to Michael Blanche interviewing his guests. With a style that’s a mix of Michael Aspel and Columbo he gently probes and quizzes his guests while feigning innocence and disbelief, but he knows what’s going on and...Read full review »
Carlosmingos via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/11/18
I’m beginning to suspect a conspiracy. It seems that the best advice each of Michael’s guest interviewees has ever received has been “to listen”. Use your two ears and your one mouth in that ratio, as one guest put it. Coincidence or conspiracy, when Michael has a podcast to promote....?? You...Read full review »

Really enjoy listening to this, the variety of topics, insight into successful farming businesses run by passionate people as well as the facts and figures makes for really interesting listening.

A great podcast to listen to whilst moving sheep fences!
Farmingfred via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/09/18
I'm a grass farmer in New York State, so I find myself having to convert metric to Imperial units in my head as the show ticks along. Couple that exercise with the Scottish accent of the host (and guests) and I find it can be a mental workout to follow the thread of the conversation at times......Read full review »
Cairncrest via · 02/24/18
I love your podcast! I am a pretty new at livestock farming still but I have learned so much from the interviews with people working at the cutting edge of modern rotational grazing. My wife and I just were able to purchase an 80 acre farm in Oregon USA and are working toward a 100% grass fed...Read full review »
gardenertyler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/18
A must listen for anyone who is addicted to the green stuff. Michaels interview style creates an open and honest discussion about a range of businesses with lots of profitability nuggets left on the way. The podcast also contains more slightly questionable jokes than a holiday camp show to help...Read full review »
Agric6930 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/12/18
This is passive learning at its best. There is more to learn here than just grass and it’s management. Michael has a nack if getting a lot of valuable information on a wide range of subject areas from his interviewees. I found you do get a good feel for what motivates the person, where their...Read full review »
