    • Lucy calls and gets cut off, please call back!!
  • Round up: Moving pigs, the garden, Baby’s Milk, etc!

Barncast 35 — Downshifting with Matt and AJ

2006/10/08 in Dogs, Downshifting, Internet, Interviews, Podcast by andrew | 8 comments

It’s the first podcast of October so that means it’s an interview! This week we have a rather long, but fun talk with Matt and AJ from www.downshiftme.com. They more from the UK to Nova Scotia to start a more simply life. We had a great time talking to them. Hopefully between the dodgy phone lines, and my inability to get the mix right you’ll understand them. We talk about:

  • New Dogs
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT
  • Jon asks what could we do but can’t
  • Life Section: What is downshifting
  • Farm Section: What’s the new farm life, and plans?
  • Geek Section: Rural Internet

Please go visit their podcast at http://www.downshiftme.com/. It’s a great podcast, and they have great goals. We had a rather long talk, but I think it turned out rather well. It will be shorter next week! We promise! Please send questions to us, or call the Farm Phone (206-202-GOAT) and if there’s enough demand we can have them back.
