| Ep. 66 Why Your Spine Might Matter More Than Your Diet | 09 mars 2026 | 00:48:53 | |
In this episode of the The Grow Renaissance series Pasture Prime Time, host Neil sits down with Amanda Smith of Thunderbird and Dr. Robert Pomahac of Modern Health U to explore the powerful connections between nutrition, biomechanics, and whole-body health. The conversation moves beyond the farm gate and into the human body—unpacking how what we eat, how we move, and how our nervous system functions all shape our long-term health and performance. Dr. Pomahac shares insights from decades of work in applied neurobiomechanics, regenerative medicine, and athlete performance, while Amanda recounts her personal recovery journey from severe injuries using data-driven, holistic care. Together they discuss the role of spine health, nervous system communication, nutrition, and emerging technologies—from wearables to regenerative therapies—in optimizing human performance and preventing chronic illness. The episode also draws striking parallels between human health and regenerative agriculture, highlighting how better data, better food systems, and a more holistic understanding of biology can help nourish people, animals, and the planet.

| Ep. 65 Cattle, Land, and the Future of Grazing | 06 mars 2026 | 01:11:12 | |
In this episode, Neil sits down with stockmanship expert Bob Kinford and holistic management advocate Roger Savory to explore the balance between traditional livestock handling and emerging technologies. Bob explains why tools like virtual fencing can support ranchers but can never replace skilled stockmanship, emphasizing that calm, proactive handling creates safer, lower-stress cattle and more enjoyable work. Roger expands on the role of grazing animals in restoring ecosystems through holistic management, introducing ideas like “biological carpeting,” where full ground cover protects soil and revitalizes microbial life. The conversation also highlights the importance of teaching the next generation of herders, the psychological shift that occurs when cattle move as large cohesive herds, and how biodiverse pastures allow cattle to naturally select the nutrients their rumen microorganisms need. Through practical techniques and stories of transforming feral cattle into calm herds, this episode offers a compelling look at how thoughtful grazing, human skill, and ecological understanding can work together to regenerate land and livestock systems.

| Ep. 56 Why Regenerative Ag Means More Than Carbon | 21 janv. 2026 | 00:41:24 | |
In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, we sit down with Ben from Merge to unpack what “co-benefits” really mean—and why they matter beyond just carbon. We talk about how healthy soil, water quality, biodiversity, and nutrient-dense crops factor into a regenerative-agriculture system. Ben explains why carbon alone isn’t enough, and shares real-world examples like perennial grain systems (such as Kernza) that deliver layered benefits for soil, water, wildlife habitat, and food quality. Whether you’re a producer, buyer, or simply curious about sustainable farming — this episode offers a deeper look at what a holistic agricultural future could look like.Tune in if you want to understand how carbon claims can come with meaningful ecological and social value — and how we can tell that story with integrity.

| Ep. 52 From 3,000-head Feedlot to 1,000 Acres: Kai Olsen’s Farm & Rodeo Story | 03 nov. 2025 | 00:42:44 | |
In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith welcomes Kai Olsen, a fourth-generation Alberta farmer, mechanic, and team roper, to dig into the realities of modern mixed-ag farming. From managing roughly a thousand acres of cropland (canola, barley, yellow peas) and a 120-head cow-calf herd via swath-grazing with his dad, Kai shares his journey from a 3,000-head feedlot to creating a leaner, more adaptive family farm. He talks candidly about the highs of record-calf prices, the strain of escalating input costs like grass leases and equipment, and his decision to keep the operation largely outside the government credit-and-carbon-program cage. The conversation also pivots to his passion for rodeo: how he started roping on a $3,200 horse in his teens, progressed through Canadian circuits, and connects farming, competition and community into one lifestyle. Whether you’re in beef, cropping, regenerative ag or simply curious about resilience in agriculture, this episode brings an unfiltered look at balancing tradition, market turbulence and personal purpose.

| Ep. 51. Landscape Architecture with Blair Guppy | 27 oct. 2025 | 00:39:40 | |
In this episode of Pasture Prime Time with Neil Smith, host Neil Smith sits down with landscape architect Blair Guppy, whose practice focuses on regenerative, climate-adaptive design that weaves together ecology, culture and human experience. Blair shares his journey from the natural landscapes of British Columbia to working in dense urban settings in Brooklyn and New York, reflecting on how we might redesign our relationship with the land — whether farmland or city rooftop — and repair the “broken lines” in how we value soil, water, people and place. Their conversation explores the intersections of agriculture, urban design, finance, and Indigenous insight, asking: how do we move beyond mere aesthetics and build living systems that heal as they grow?

| Ep. 46 Why Humanity Still Needs Herds with Hobbs Magaret | 02 sept. 2025 | 00:59:00 | |
This week on Pasture Prime Time, Neil sits down with rancher, writer, and unapologetic truth-teller Hobbs Magaret—author of Herd: The Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever. Hobbs brings a unique blend of cowboy heritage, ecological insight, and global grazing experience to the conversation. From bovine intelligence and soil as “insurance,” to the genetics behind resilient cattle breeds like the Mashona, Hobbs challenges both industrial agriculture and greenwashed narratives of sustainability. He shares lessons from Texas to Australia, and why cattle, when managed with herd density and rest cycles, aren’t just steak on a plate—they’re a keystone of planetary renewal. If you’ve ever wondered how ranching, ecology, and culture intersect—or why our future depends on animals more than we realize—this episode is a must-listen.

| Ep. 42 No Farms, No Food? How Trees Rewrote the Human Story | 04 août 2025 | 00:44:14 | |
In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Dahlstrom sits down with Elspeth Hay—writer, forager, podcaster and author of Feed Us With Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food (New Society, July 2025)—to unpack the forest-rooted wisdom behind perennial nut trees as a regenerative alternative to field monocultures. Hay shares how a TEDx talk on edible acorns hurled her into a five-year journey of ancestral agroecology, unlearning the dominance of annuals and the myth that “no farms equals no food.” She delves into how replicating a single Asiatic tree lineage—like modern bananas, where the genetically uniform Cavendish cultivar has been devastated by Panama disease—is a recipe for collapse, and how the same extinction risk applies when hazelnut growers ignore diversity and rely on clones instead of “swarm breeding” thousands of nut lines to produce resilient, high-yield varieties. On the practical side, she urges listeners to start with their local keystone nut trees—like oaks, chestnuts, or hazel—that serve as ecological linchpins for habitat, food, and cultural memory.

| Ep. 32 Pasture Prime Time with Rich Bradbury | 09 juin 2025 | 00:50:37 | |
In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, Neil is joined by Rich Bradbury—a rancher, writer, and systems thinker—who believes the future of agriculture won’t be built with more gadgets, but with grounded tools, good memory, and a clear sense of purpose. Drawing from a lifetime on the land and the quiet wisdom of regenerative pioneers like Tom Lasater, Rich explores how soil health, land stewardship, and community resilience are shaped not just by markets or machines, but by values and courageous choices. From rotating cattle on a fire-scarred lease to planting 60,000 trees against the odds, Rich shares how meaningful change in agriculture begins with doing the right thing—even when it’s hard to measure.

| Ep. 29 Pasture Prime Time with Bradford Willis | 19 mai 2025 | 00:48:29 | |
What if the future of food and finance depended on the same thing—healthy soil? In this episode, we sit down with Bradford Willis, Special Advisor on Climate Action, Sustainable Development, Finance, and Systems Change. With deep experience in global carbon markets and agricultural investment, Bradford is a trailblazer at the intersection of climate finance and regenerative agriculture. He shares how capital can be a catalyst for land restoration, why rural projects need better financing models, and what it takes to align investor incentives with long-term ecological outcomes. We explore why climate finance must include farmers, the real story behind carbon credits and their credibility, how regenerative ag fits into climate-smart investing, and how to build bridges between capital, land stewards, and communities. Whether you're a grower, investor, or just curious about the future of food systems, this episode will challenge how you think about money, soil, and impact. Tune in and get inspired by the systems thinking needed to fund regeneration.
