I have loved this pod. Host Nate is thoughtful and asks great questions.

When you have a 40 minute conversation with a bad reporter and neither of you stated that the State’s eye witnesses never saw how the incident starts, what else should you be called?

Extremely clear, informative and interesting podcast. Highly recommended!

I eagerly await the release of new episodes. This podcast is great and a so appreciate the conversations around complex issues impacting us all. Appreciate the hard work you put into this. Thank you!!

Nerd Farmer kinda threw me because my favorite episodes don’t relate to agriculture. Housing policy, structural inequalities, and quality of life discussions are all things the Nerd Farmer talks about. Thanks nerd farmer - peace.

I’ll leave 5 stars cuz I’m not petty. I was digging the show until he started pushin the vaccine at the very end that crap is gettin real old. Real quick. Too many other great shows to listen to that don’t push an agenda I’m out Tacoma needs a podcast with some grit this ain’t it

I love this podcast! I live in Lewis County, and I really appreciate listening to smart people who live not that far away talk about issues surrounding education, justice, race, and voting—all very important issues for me and my work as a teacher. I also love listening to the book reviews—I have read so many excellent books and articles because of Nate and his guests. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work!

I look forward to every new episode of the Nerd Farmer Pod! Not only is Nate’s podcast a great resource for learning and keeping up with local and national news, but the books, tv shows, community activists, and organizations I’ve learned about through the pod are always incredibly valuable. Thank you for this great podcast, Nate and Channel 253 team!

I have yet to listen to the soccer themed podcasts but despite not being a fan of soccer in the NW I am actually looking forward to it. Nate has helped resonate so many of my thoughts on education what’s happening in this world and helped me find other people I need to be listening to - thank you - your community is blessed to have you.

Good lord I love this podcast so much! Whenever a new one pops up, I can’t wait to listen! Nate gets such fun, charismatic and interesting people to help break down complex and local issues for us living here. My roommates are also all tuned in! Please keep this going as long as possible!

Nate created a platform for local citizens to learn, connect, and take action civically. Guests are brilliant and diverse in experience and identities. The conversations are stellar and pointed. Love me some Nate shade! Also a great podcast for students interested in civic engagement. I rarely miss an episode. #nerdfam

Every time a new episode comes out, I’m grateful for the nuanced an interesting discussion. And then sometimes they are strait 🔥🔥🔥.

Garbage takes on 2020 candidates, host and guests are neoliberal apologists, have fun with Trump 2.0 after your precious Pete Bootlicker gets elected :)

If you like Interchangeable White Ladies, you like this pod cuz it’s almost as good

Nate Bowling and his guests do a great job using Tacoma as lens to talk about race and equity, American politics, and culture. Super smart and still accessible.

"A universal conversation through a local lens"

I love reading and sharing Nate Bowling's blog posts. I often think I'd love to go back to high school just to take his AP Government Class. This podcast is even better. Now we can all listen to Nate's interviews with friends, politicians, journalists, educators, and more. The world is bigger than this community, but Nate helps us see how our day to day is connected to the bigger picture.
