Barn & Soul Podcast: Episode 6 - Hollywood / Social Media Farm Life Depiction vs. Reality

🎙️ Barn & Soul – Where farming meets heart, history, and a mission to preserve the past for a more sustainable future. Episode 6 - Hollywood vs. Reality: The Truth About Farm Life.

🎬 From dreamy farm scenes in Babe and Charlotte’s Web to the curated calm of social media reels, today we’re pulling back the curtain on how farming is portrayed—and misrepresented—in pop culture. 

🐔 What does real farm life look like behind the filters and the fiction? What do animal movies get right… and where do they go wildly off course? And why does it matter? In this episode, we explore: 

• The impact of romanticized farm imagery

• How influencers shape perceptions (guilty as charged!)

• What Clarkson’s Farm, The Biggest Little Farm, and Gunda get right

• The real emotional, physical, and financial toll of running a working farm

• And how this all affects animal empathy, policy, and small farm survival.

If you’ve ever dreamt of trading city life for a barn and a pasture, or if you just love animals and want to see them honored honestly—you’ll love this one.
