Building Your Homestead Podcast

Takota Coen hosts Building Your Homestead Podcast with 30 episodes that blend permaculture design principles with broader philosophical discussions about independence and self-sufficiency. Takota wrote "Building Your Permaculture Property: A 5-Step Process To Design and Develop Land," and that systems-thinking approach carries through into the podcast. Episodes cover regenerative agriculture, land management, food independence, and practical homestead design. The interview format brings in guests with diverse expertise, from permaculture practitioners to people working in alternative economics and cryptocurrency. This is where the show gets interesting and also where it might lose some listeners. Takota is openly interested in reducing dependency on what he sees as exploitative systems, and the show ventures into topics like Bitcoin, circular economies, and societal critique alongside the gardening and farming content. The podcast carries an explicit content rating and has a 4.3 rating from 29 reviews. Listener reception is mixed. Some praise the philosophical depth and actionable permaculture information, while others take issue with episodes that touch on conspiracy theories and anti-vaccination content. If you can filter for the permaculture and land design content specifically, there is real value here, especially from someone who has literally written the book on designing a homestead property. Just know that this show casts a wider philosophical net than most homesteading podcasts, and your mileage may vary on those tangents.
