Our Natural State
Our Natural State is a podcast about remembering what we were made for.
Hosted by Taylor and Nick Moran—parents, creators, and founders of a forest-based microschool in Arkansas—we explore what it means to raise kids (and live ourselves) in a way that aligns with our biology, our instincts, and our values.
We talk to nature school founders, unschoolers, rebels, and regenerative educators from around the world—but this show isn’t just about school. It’s about reimagining childhood itself. It’s for parents who feel like something about modern life is off, and are ready to do things differently.
Because raising humans in their natural state… might just be the most radical thing you can do.

How Should We Live?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we discuss the ethical topics that face us today on how people should act. Are there a million different ways to live a good life or are there some absolutes that are built into the human experience? Here's what we hit on: nutrition, marriage, having kids, duty, and more.
Trigger warning: infant loss — towards the end of our conversation we talk about Baby Fin and the future we are facing with his birth & short (but precious) life.
