I have binged a handful of episodes after discovering your podcast yesterday. Margaret, I instantly adore you and all your plethora of insights and experience. What a find. I will be recommending you widely. Keep up the incredible, thoughtful discussions. You tap into a depth on these topics that is rare to come by, particularly with your medical episodes.

I think this is an excellent podcast but I can tell when a host has an outline and doesn’t follow or simply have no outline. I can also tell when the host has done some research and can ask more pertinent questions and make it more interesting.

Nice balance of honest gloom and hopeful calls to action.

This is a great show, w well informed and thoughtful insights. However, I gave it 3 stars because I CANNOT get past the valley girl talk and the use of the word LIKE in every sentence. I can’t listen to it, which is unfortunate because I think this could be a good show. Good luck.

Practical advice for everyone to take NOW, because you never know when an emergency will hit. Also ideas to increase community building, because we need to save ourselves.

A lot of dumb dumbs have podcasts where they claim the world is dying and whine about not being able to decide between the old handsy uncle or the old angry spray tan uncle. This podcast posits that our world is dying and as Kurt says, so it goes. After the dying bit comes the next turn of the wheel, the rebuilding. This show has lots of great practical advice about that. Such as, pickles, firearm safety and getting along with your neighbors.

All of the hosts are brilliant, talented, and have great voices that I enjoy listening to throughout my day. The topics covered are excellent, I find myself taking notes and re-listening to episodes all the time. This podcast genuinely has been a light in the dark for me these past few years and it’s changed my life in the best ways possible. Endlessly grateful & will always be one of their biggest fans!!!!

Truly cannot thank everyone who has been involved in this podcast enough. Thank you for putting this thoughtful process out into the world, and reaching so many of us to share and process in our own time. One of my favorite things to do is share this podcast with people, and talk to them about some of the content/collaborate on these thoughts in our own ways.

I am already using information from the go bag episodes to help my household be more prepared for emergencies.

I walk away with something new to think about every episode. It’s a joy to listen to. The broad range of life experience that Margaret, and her guests, bring to the table is unique and enriches my perspective of life and activism. What I appreciate the most is how actionable the information and advice is. It’s worth a listen. If one topic doesn’t grab you try another! There’s something that will speak to you if you take the time to find it. Love this podcast!!!

Inspiration for dealing with the harshness of the now. Highly recommended.

I take away some new knowledge with each show. Margaret’s enthusiasm is catching and just like her I want to be able to master many of these subjects. Gonna try making my own sourdough!

The topics are interesting and the pace of the show is perfect. Love your insight!

Margaret this podcast and your perspective are gifts.

Margret makes everything hurt a little less.

Every episode has something substantial for my brain to chew on for quite a while afterwards. Keep it going!

One of only maybe 3 podcasts I listen to religiously. Can’t get enough. Love Margaret, love this show, 100/10

I love this show, I’ve listened to several episodes multiple times, including the ones on suburban organizing, mental health first aid, and arming trans women. It’s been a gift to learn and ground my understanding and visions for the world with the help of your thoughtful conversations <3

I’m learning so much. Thank you! Just listened to the masks and goggles episode. For tear gas at the protests in Chile 2019/2020 people sprayed water with baking soda from spray bottles in eachothers faces to neutralize the acids in the gas. Anecdotally it totally made things better.

Thank you. For all of it.

I binge-listened to Margaret’s podcasts after reading her very recent Twitter thread on anarchism (partially a response to the wretched HBO series on ancaps, an oxymoron extraordinare.) I am so starved for a solutions-oriented and wide-net anarchist perspective. Plus her guests are interesting; her interviews are thoughtful, insightful, practical, even fun. There are episodes on suburban life and firearms training that I did not think would interest me, as I’m more into health care, herbal medicine, and prepping. I was wrong. Thank you, Margaret! Just joined Patreon… only to support you at Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

I really appreciate this particular podcast because the host is clear about their opinions and their questions, and engages their interviewees in respectful, thoughtful, and sometimes fun dialogues. The host researches their subjects well, and admits when they are uncertain about a topic and invites others with more expertise to come on and share their own. Fewer asides and inside jokes than their newer podcast - this is a favorite for the focus on info sharing.

My kind of show format! Margaret has surprisingly candid conversations on such deeply important and timely topics.

Approaches important conversations in a way that is interesting and practical. I particularly appreciated the recent episode on suburban organizing. This suburbanite would love that to become a series!

this podcast has helped me keep my hope alive because it is grounded in real world discussion, practical experience, and the nuts and bolts of living as well as we can in this time and place. plus i like to nerd out and she covers so many great subjects!

Great podcast for the anarchist wanting to build a better world, one step at a time.

While I don’t agree with the host’s political views, this is a sensible prepper podcast

Love this podcast! Very practical, very hopeful.

binged every episode when i gorst found the show, now its at the top of my to listen whenever a new episode comes out. covers so much good stuff and topics i didnt even know i wanted to learn about

Margaret discusses urgent and serious topics without falling into doom and gloom. Every episode will give you something to think about.

Great listen on a left perspective to preparedness

Try an episode, you’ll come back for more.

It

Not impressed

I’m so incredibly grateful for this podcast. It makes preparedness feel more accessible to me, a person with less means who has always perceived prepping as kind of a right-wing nut job thing. The podcast is informative and despite it all maintains a hopeful tone. Also, Killjoy is an absolutely adorable nerd and it’s delightful :)

This is a spectacular and informative podcast that has not only provided me significant amounts of knowledge, but also laughter! Killjoy and their guests are so knowledgeable and informative, providing reasonable and tactical advice. Highly suggest for everyone!

I wouldn’t call myself a preppier by any stretch, but this podcast has helped me figure out what I do and don’t actually need in terms of emergency preparedness. I love that it’s all about mutual aid, not rugged individualism. Super entertaining conversations too.

Love all the topics and guests. I can relate to you on so many levels and all the things you discuss are so interesting. ❤️

One of the best podcasts I’m listening to these days - every episode is chock full of useful information, shared by folks with values of mutual aid, radical accessibility, DIY culture, and interdependence. I love Margaret’s approach and the interviewees are consistently incredible.

I really enjoy listening to Margaret go off on her theory tangents. I found this show while listening to We Will Remember Freedom- another great podcast by Margaret. The guests are relevant and very knowledgeable, every time I listen I feel like I gain a new hobby (like i don’t have enough already). Anyway, great show, love every episode so far!

One of my favorite podcasts. Puts preparedness in a community setting instead of individual stockpiling/ hoarding. Gives me hope.

Great podcast with of interesting guest and informed host. Keep up the great work it’s needed.

Legit. Informative. Not a fascist chud.

This is helping me to stay hopeful and engaged. Thank you so much.

This could have been a great topic and podcast had the author taken off his blue lens. The only scenario he paints is a civil war that is initiated by the right wing. Antifa to the author are just peaceful protesters who could never be instigators. That’s the job of the proud boys. But he’s proud to announce he’s got his assault rifles as a threat to the right who in his world can’t wait to go to war.

Very insightful podcast with a wide variety of interesting subjects and guests. Keep up the good work Margaret. Must listen for anyone who leans toward the anarchist, anti capitalist, or prepper ideology.

Based on the first two episodes I’m looking forward to what this show will bring to the table. Interviews with knowledgeable and interesting guests with a “different” take on prepping and disaster preparedness. I’d prefer we work together to solve our problems, not hide in bunkers. This show brings that much need perspective to the discussion.
