hy55run ,

my fave pod!

love y’alls pod! I am probably not the most typical disco (a lifelong vegetarian and city girl), but I really appreciate your emphasis on food choice and nuanced discussion of food/ag topics. Y’all also have great chemistry- it’s rare to find a two-person pod that flows so seamlessly! Overall, I think it’s super important to hear directly from the ag community, so thank you for providing that perspective in an engaging and informative way and making this veg gal feel welcome!
