The 2 F's Podcast - The Philosopher And The Farmer

Welcome to The Two F's Podcast: The Philosopher and the Farmer! Where two unexpected friends get together to discuss diverse topics and people from differing perspectives and beliefs. Part of the point of this podcast is to show the world how two people who should hate each other (according to current societal terms) can look past our differences and truly listen and understand. Disclaimer: neither of us are "experts" or "professionals" - the podcast fully ignores political correctness for the sake of honest opinion and discussion. Offense may be taken, but it doesn't have to be.
