| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Commune podcast. |
| 0:10.0 | My name is Jeff Krasno. |
| 0:12.0 | Okay, the format for today's episode is slightly divergent. |
| 0:17.0 | This episode was recorded at a fundraiser for Kiss the Ground in front of a live audience at Kami and Topanga. |
| 0:25.6 | Now, Kiss the Ground is a fantastic non-for-profit focused on regenerative agriculture, and you may also be familiar with the eponymously named documentary on Netflix narrated by Woody |
| 0:40.6 | Harrelson. |
| 0:41.7 | Now, this episode features three contiguous interviews that I conducted at the event. |
| 0:48.1 | My guests are policy director, Finian Makepeace, Regenerative Rancher Donaga Markagard, and actor |

| 1:47.2 | Ground. He is a renowned presenter and thought leader in the field of regenerative agriculture |

| 2:00.1 | on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. |
| 2:03.3 | building bipartisan support for a more regenerative farm bill in 2023. |
| 2:10.3 | Now, Comyn also produced a course with Finian titled Soil Is the Climate Solution. |
