WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?

A slew of informative and imaginative podcasts about owning and stewarding land has launched over the last few years. More than a dozen are on my playlist, including The Land Bulletin Podcast hosted by Haley Mirr.

“We aim to create a reliable resource for buyers, sellers, and individuals seeking to be responsible stewards of the West by highlighting the knowledge of our brokers and other experts in their fields,” Haley told me. “We hope that these conversations not only offer insight into the ranch real estate market but into what makes the West the West.”

Recent guests on The Land Bulletin Podcast have included conservation biologist Rick Knight, regenerative ranching expert Kacie Scherler, Lonetree Ranch’s Marissa Taylor, and eighth-generation Texan Harrison King of King Land and Water.

You can find The Land Bulletin Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
