I love to hear Dave throw out the fact that you own 90 acres, trying not to boost, but you can still detect the pride in his voice and it is almost as if he is in disbelief. I love it when the enthusiasm for a subject comes though in a podcast and Dave seemed like a kid in a candy store, yet he handled the interview like a professional, only occasionally taking advantage for advice on a personal level, how often do you get a chance like that? Hurray!

A kid in a candy store definitely described me in this interview! Loved it and could have easily gone 3 or 4 hours. Diego definitely knows his stuff. Thumbs up

I don't know that he talks too much about the smaller scale in this particular podcast, but it's something that I think would be of interest to a lot of people. Toby Hemenway is probably a good person to get as an interview subject. He wrote the book Gaia's Garden and he seems knowledgeable about the smaller scale permaculture.
