    The desert is beautiful and heartbreaking -
    I think I’ve been listening since the beginning, this podcast captures both the beautiful necessity of the desert and the heartbreaking threats that never cease. Consistently excellent and uniquely valuable in promoting knowledge about and appreciation of these landscapes. Everyone I’ve recommended it to has been appreciative! I really don’t think there are any other podcasts that capture quite this breadth of topics about our deserts.

    A desert sunrise.
    Having moved away from the Mojave, 90MFN is my go-to source for all things desert to keep me connected to my favorite place. As a podcast, it has such a unique voice that has only gotten better with time. I’m very grateful for all that effort, time, and heart that goes into this production and I hope it continues for years to come.

    Desert Love
    Interesting observations but Ed Abbey wasn’t wrong. The greatest threat to wilderness are sprawl and development which are driven by population growth. Slow population increase to save nature seems like a simple way.

    I’m biased, but…
    This is the ONLY podcast that focuses on desert protection in the United States. You should listen and learn something about this neglected landscape.

    Don’t desert the desert!
    A listen to friendly podcast about American deserts especially the Mojave. A good substitute if you can’t be there. A great way to learn about threats to the desert and ways you can help. Always listen to the end. ❤️

    Saving the Desert 101
    Fantastic podcast - who knew ? That is who knew that suggestions for trying to help save the desert could be made accessible and entertaining ! And Alicia and Chris have nice chemistry - kind of the Johnny and Ed of desert conservation (if you’re too young to get that reference your probably better off…)

    Gravity Infused with Joy
    This podcast fills me with joy. Alicia and Chris deliver the perfect blend of digestible knowledge of all things desert, seriousness concerning environmental impacts via a tangible love and care for their desert home, and also levity. Any podcast that can bring me to tears about the dire state of our planet one moment, and in the next have me snorting out loud with laughter over a snarky comment or clever word play, is a big win in my book! This is the only podcast i’ve listened to every episode of! I always look forward to learning more in the next one, and am a proud patreon supporter . Gratitude

    Vivid and Beautifully Spoken Imagery
    Chris and Alicia are fantastic. Whether you are a seasoned desert activist, desert rat or someone new to the desert in need of a few reasons to become involved in the protection of a beautiful part of the world, this show inspires and really puts things into perspective with stories and descriptions that place you squarely in the scene being set. Eagerly awaiting new episodes every week!
