You guys sound beautifully! Such great info. Love it!

Love the podcast thank you soooooo much!

Excellent subject matter. The hosts go deep into the nuances and complexities of issues in our modern world

I love how much this podcast makes me think about so many eye opening topics!

One of my favorites!

Love this podcast!!!

I recently discovered this podcast and it is my absolute FAVORITE. I’m very passionate about the environment and sustainability and have become very jaded at half-hearted corporate driven efforts to “curb carbon emissions” and therefore “mitigate climate change. This podcast has been able to articulate what I’ve felt for a long time… that nature knows best, indigenous rights are crucial, and that they key will be less consumption and living in harmony with earth, which of course isn’t profitable or “sexy.” Keep up the great work! ♥️

Beautiful podcast. Learned a ton not just from the words but from the tone and approach of all present. Wonderful podcast

Jake and Maren do a wonderful job in this podcast, they have incredible guests, and tackle really difficult food and nutrition issues in a very thoughtful way. I highly recommend this podcast.

Death in the garden is one of the few podcasts to delve into the nuances of our climate crisis. Challenging greenwashed narratives such as meat consumption is essential to understanding the basic principals of a holistic existence on earth: living within natural law. Do not be led astray by naysaying folks, livestock are from this planet, it just so happens the way we raise them and the scale are not in line with natural law.

This podcast is nuanced and seeks to understand and reveal the deep and complex systems that are the foundation of our life on earth. It doesn’t fall prey to binary thinking or the red pill solutions that are nicely packaged by the corporations that stand to benefit. Maren and Jake peel the layers and distill the information so we can understand that what is beneath the surface is the substance that needs to be parsed out. Listen with an open mind and leave the confirmation bubble to research what is really going on. This one is A MUST!

Love listening

I’m SO glad a friend shared this podcast with me. Every episode opens me up to a new perspective. While my beliefs are often challenged by what they discuss, that is absolutely a good thing and I’ve grown so much as a person for it. The hosts and guests are compassionate people who explore what healing for ourselves and the earth really means. Super timely discussions!

It’s not easy to admit you were wrong, especially to the wide open internet! I admire Maren and Jake to no end because they are sharing extremely important information that goes against their previous beliefs (veganism) and against the main stream narrative. And I don’t mean that they "do their own research" or ignore real, responsible science. Maren and Jake have interviewed countless experts and found that EVERYTHING is infinitely more complicated and intertwined than they previously thought, in regards to environmentalism, ethical farming, nutrition, etc. My favorite part is that they don’t pretend to have the answers, but they are out there on the frontlines of the conversation, trying to make sense of our world. I am so grateful to have a front row seat in the form of this podcast.

Seek those who search for wisdom, run from those who say they have it. This podcast is the former, and it’s a joy to see the hosts position evolve and deepen as they ask the hardest questions of our time. Highly recommend!

Re your #28 Podcast, Humans used to make up about 1% of the biomass on the planet, now they’re around 30% and their livestock more than 60%, which leaves about 5% to everybody else. By the time we drain all the the aquifers and clear cut the remaining forests to feed all our hamburgers, we’ll be well on our way to join the mass extinction underway, but yeah sure, the problem is we don’t consume enough meat. The tunnel vision of this podcast is stunning. Unsubscribed

This podcast has truly opened my eyes to many of our modern day concerns. You can tell they’ve really done their research! Highly recommend!

If you’re new to these topics this is a good place to start with some guests that are perhaps not as well know as folks like Allan Savory and Joel Salatin. Some of the subjects within the scope of agriculture and ecology have become somewhat trendy to talk about and here they do a good job of creating a space for exploratory thinking and not preachy absolutism. There's lots to stimulate the mind in these podcasts and Jake and Maren do a very good job asking thoughtful, critical questions that engage the person being interviewed. It will be interesting to see how the footage comes together into a documentary. The only minor criticism I would bring up is the use of monologue before the interview which can tend to ramble a bit. It is also harder to focus on these (and some of the interviews) due to the overuse of fillers and qualifiers--like, sort of, kind of, really. Becoming succinct in speech will make a difference in the clarity of the ideas and questions being presented further engaging the listener without distraction. Looking forward to more engaging conversations!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Jake and Maren are wise beyond their years. Quality guests and thoughtful interviews. This is a must listen if you’re interested in environmentalism and regenerative agriculture.

This podcast is incredibly powerful. It provides information of subjects that are constantly labeled one way or another as complex. The guests are brilliant, just an all around great show.

This show is phenomenal! Incredibly informed and reliable information led by wonderful hosts and filled with magnificent guests. Jake and Maren are great at thinking outside of the box and tackling sensitive issues with nuance, respect, and vigor. If you’re looking for your next podcast fix, you just found it.

Jake and Maren are an incredibly bright and inspirational pair of humans. They share revelatory knowledge with passion and authenticity. Please take the red pill by giving them a listen. They investigate our consequential impact as a species and uncover the heartbreaking truths of our disconnect with nature, all accompanied by hope for the future of our beautiful planet. Bravo!! I can’t WAIT for the documentary!!

I’m so glad that this podcast was created. These are the topics and conversations i want to hear more of and have more of! I always find myself talking about many of the things I’ve heard discussed on Death in the Garden and am shocked at how few people have entertained these ideas! Grateful that more awareness will surely come out of the podcasts they have yet to record and I’m excited to be a listener!

These guys really have their eye on the ball. Highly recommend.

Absolutely phenomenal. ✨ My introductory episode of this podcast was number 6. I was enthralled. I’ve been working with these concepts for a long time and so appreciated hearing the beautiful and enlightened perspective of Derrick Jensen and the well-framed questions of Jake and Maren. I am so incredibly appreciative of and impressed by the work that Death in the Garden is doing… This is truly the essence—the root—of everything that truly matters in our lives and on this planet. They are doing very nuanced, difficult, and beautiful work that involves deep emotion, intuition, listening, patience, and grit. This podcast is moving to my top faves!! Thank you Jake and Maren...amazing. ❤️

This podcast is amazing! Maren and Jake take you along on their adventure to explore various topics including death, life, the human experience and sustainability. The stories they tell are beautiful and thought provoking, and the knowledge they share is information that is essential to our future as a species! 10/10 would recommend!

Jake and Maren’s curiosity and intelligence are infectious and inspiring. This project is so important and complex, and their ability to navigate it is impressive and endlessly refreshing.
