Big ideas about tiny living

I’ve been listening to the show since Ethan launched the podcast. Ethan stays on top of the evolving concept of a tiny lifestyle with a dynamic range of topics and guests. So often I find podcast hosts are more in love with their own voices, but Ethan asks great questions and allows his guests to fully answer them. The show is relevant, fun and interesting.

My favorite podcast

I found this podcast a couple months ago, and I LOVE it! I look forward to Fridays for your new episodes. As someone looking to get into the tiny life, your podcasts have been so helpful! I’m learning so much, and I appreciate all the different guests and topics.

Tiny Off-Grid House Research ,

Episode 252 “Want A Safe Tiny House Foundation”

Ethan, I appreciate that during the discussion you initiated the topic of Tiny House trailer insulation; an important topic that’s often over looked.
Thermal bridging, which can cause condensation and progress to the growth of mold, is a concern with some bumper-pull trailer models that have the subfloor between the wheel wells creating an uninsulated corner where the subfloor and walls meet.
Thank you
