Very Timely
I’ve listened to several of Ryn and Katja’s podcasts and have really enjoyed all of them. The podcast on catnip was especially timely as it talked about using it for older people who get anxious a lot. I’m going to try some catnip tea today. Thanks.
Totally Awesome! Wealth of Knowledge
I recently came across this podcast as an aspiring beginner herbalist and I absolutely fell in love! I have gone back and started listening to every episode from the beginning. I love the excitement in their voices when they talk about herbs.
Love this podcast!
I have listened to quite a few different herbal podcasts, wanting to expand my knowledge on herbs. And I am SO happy that I came across this podcast. Each episode is full of information, but not in an overwhelming way. They are relatable and enjoyable to listen to.
