This Southern Mysteries Classic revisits a chilling historical true crime case from the Kentucky mountains. In February 1933, a church service ended with the death of 72-year-old Lucinda Mills. Nine of her relatives were jailed and accused of murder, while the national press labeled the case a human sacrifice. Decades later, the question remains: what really happened inside that cabin?

In this Episode Beth Cole of Riverview Farms shares how local farms strengthen communities, preserve farmland, improve food security, and support healthier ecosystems. Drawing from her experience as a market gardener in Western North Carolina, Beth explains the value of Certified Naturally Grown certification, community-supported agriculture (CSA), farmers markets, and home gardening. She also reflects on lessons learned from Hurricane Helene, the challenges of starting a farm, and why growing food is one of the most important skills families can develop.Our Guest: Beth Cole is a market gardener in Asheville, North Carolina. At their farm they grow a variety of certified naturally grown veggies and cut flowers, are passionate about preserving farmland in the region and growing real food that nourishes the community.Key TopicsBeth ColeRiverview FarmsMarket gardeningAsparagus productionCertified Naturally Grown (CNG)Local food systemsCommunity Supported Agriculture (CSA)Farmers marketsHurricane Helene recoverySoil health and floodplain farmingGarden plant startsDirt Craft Living SoilsFood security and preparednessGrowing food in Western North CarolinaKey Questions AnsweredWhat is market gardening?Market gardening is small-scale intensive food production focused on growing a diverse mix of vegetables and flowers for local markets, restaurants, and consumers. Riverview Farms grows on roughly two acres while maintaining additional acreage for wildlife habitat, hay production, and floodplain preservation.How does asparagus grow?Asparagus is a long-term perennial crop typically started from crowns. Growers wait several years before harvesting heavily, with full production often beginning around year five. Well-maintained asparagus beds can remain productive for 15 years or longer.What is Certified Naturally Grown?Certified Naturally Grown follows standards similar to organic certification but is designed for smaller farms. The program emphasizes sustainability, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and farmland preservation while relying on peer-to-peer farm inspections rather than third-party auditors.Why does buying from local farms matter?Purchasing from local farms helps preserve farmland, protect watersheds, support pollinators, strengthen local economies, and provide farmers with a sustainable livelihood. Local food purchases keep money circulating within the community.What is a CSA?Community Supported Agriculture allows customers to purchase a subscription to a farm's harvest. Members share both the risks and rewards of farming while providing farmers with critical early-season income.What positive lessons came from Hurricane Helene?Although the storm caused significant damage throughout the region, Beth observed that floodplain farmland acted as a natural sponge, reducing downstream impacts. In some areas, nutrient-rich sediments deposited by floodwaters improved soil quality and organic matter.Why should gardeners buy plants locally?Locally grown plant starts are better adapted to regional growing conditions and often outperform plants shipped long distances to big-box stores. Supporting local growers also strengthens the regional food economy.Why do new gardeners struggle?Gardening is a learned skill that requires time, observation, and experience. Success depends on understanding local conditions, improving soil health, and accepting mistakes as part of the learning process.Why are farmers markets important?Farmers markets provide the freshest possible produce, often harvested within 24 hours of sale. They create direct relationships between growers and consumers while supporting local agriculture.What motivates Beth's farming work?Beth is driven by concerns about chronic disease, declining food quality, and the disconnect between people and real food. She believes locally grown produce can improve both individual and community health.Episode HighlightsBeth transitioned from humanitarian work and Montana grain farming into market gardening in North Carolina.Riverview Farms shifted from primarily asparagus production to diversified vegetable and flower production.Asparagus requires patience, often taking five years before reaching full harvest potential.Certified Naturally Grown certification strengthens farmer-to-farmer learning through peer inspections.Buying local food directly supports farmland preservation, pollinator habitat, and watershed protection.Hurricane Helene highlighted the important role farms play in absorbing floodwaters and protecting communities.Local plant starts provide gardeners with healthier, more resilient plants adapted to regional conditions.Farmers markets offer unmatched freshness while building relationships between farmers and consumers.Soil quality is one of the most important investments gardeners can make.Gardening success comes from persistence, observation, and continuous learning.Calls to Action & ResourcesCertified Naturally Grownhttps://www.naturallygrown.orgRiverview Farms NCFacebook: Riverview Farms NCAppalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP)https://asapconnections.orgDirt Craft Living Soilshttps://dirtcraftorganics.comRecommended BookGrow Great Vegetables in North Carolina — A practical guide for understanding regional growing conditions, soil, weather patterns, and crop selection.Visit www.urbanfarm.org/RiverviewFarms for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

Dan and Ellen talk with Professor Carlene Hempel at Northeastern and her student Sydney Woogerd. This spring, Carlene brought a team of student journalists to Asheville, North Carolina, for a week-long intensive reporting trip that focused on the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The result: a digital multimedia investigation called Caught in the Current: Helene Recovery in Asheville and Beyond. Put simply, this is a stunning project, with podcasts, videos, photos and text. There's a great soundtrack. We'll drop a link in the show notes. Carlene has been a journalism professor at Northeastern University for more than 20 years. She specializes in teaching long-form narrative writing as well as creating on-site, pop-up newsrooms domestically and abroad for her courses. Her 2025 reporting class and resulting magazine about the 10-year anniversary of Flint, Michigan's water crisis won two national reporting awards. Sydney is studying journalism and international affairs at Northeastern University with a focus on multimedia storytelling. She serves as co-photo director for The Avenue Magazine, a student-led fashion publication, where she directs visual strategy and creates editorial content. She has also contributed to The Huntington News and Artistry Magazine as a writer and photographer documenting community stories across Boston. Sydney served as the project's photo editor. Dan has a Quick Take about the recent What Works webinar for local-news publishers, journalists and volunteers. Ellen shares five lessons learned from watching how the projects that were subjects of the book, "What Works in Community News," have evolved.

The Weight You're Carrying — When the Exhaustion Isn't About the WorkThere's a kind of tired that sleep doesn't touch. You take the day off, sleep well, run a clean service — and still drive home feeling heavy. This episode is for the chef who keeps waiting for that weight to lift with one more vacation, one more good hire, one more season that doesn't crush them — and is starting to suspect it never will.Register for the free monthly Culinary Leadership Lab: a live working space for chefs ready to lead without losing themselves "This didn't start as obligation. It started as love."The Tired Sleep Doesn't TouchYou know the feeling. Solid service, food went out, team was locked in, guests were happy. You did everything right and you still feel heavy. Not frantic. Not chaotic. Just weighed down, and you can't quite name it.Here's the reframe that runs through the whole episode: what if that exhaustion isn't a sign you're weak or burned out or not cut out for this? What if it's information? Because the weight you're carrying usually isn't coming from the work. It's coming from something older than that.Emotional Labor Without AuthorshipThe chefs who show up most depleted almost never identify the right source of the weight. It's the hours. It's the team that won't step up. It's a business that never stops taking. All true. But underneath it, almost every time, there's something else — emotional labor without authorship.Managing the energy in a room, holding the container, absorbing the tension, keeping people steady — that's real work, and it costs something. In a kitchen it falls on the leader invisibly, without acknowledgement and without end. What makes it unbearable isn't the labor. It's doing it without ever consciously choosing it. It just accumulates. And what started as care becomes exhaustion. What started as love becomes weight you didn't even remember picking up. The Chef in the Black ForestYears ago, on a balcony in the Black Forest in Germany, Adam watched a chef step out a side door between lunch and dinner prep. No rush. He grabbed a basket and walked into the trees for 40 minutes — foraging, unhurried, present, like the work and the rest were part of the same thing instead of opposites.That image came home to a high-volume kitchen of ticket stacking and noise, and a belief that slowing down had to be earned. Adam kept telling himself the next job would feel right. Better kitchen, better team, better ownership. The next job came, and the one after that, and the feeling didn't — because the problem was never the kitchen. It was what he carried into every kitchen. He'd confused the weight with the love.------------------Stop chasing stars and start building a career that actually works. Join the National Champions at A-B Tech in Asheville for hands-on training that respects the hustle without losing the soul. Real tools for real chefs .------------------- How We Got ConditionedWe came into this with open hearts. We fell in love with the craft, with the choreography of a kitchen firing on all cylinders. But the industry we walked into had a very specific set of ideas about what dedication looked like, and we absorbed them before we had language to question them. Dedication looked like staying the longest. Commitment looked like absorbing the most. Caring looked like never setting anything down.So we learned to conflate sacrifice with love — to treat the weight as proof of our investment. Nobody handed us a contract to hold other people's motivation as our personal responsibility. It happened through the culture, through the chefs who modeled it, through an industry that rewarded endurance over presence and called it excellence. That's not a character flaw. That's conditioning. What's Actually in the BagThe first step out is naming what's actually in there. You carry other people's moods — you read the room before you read the board. You carry other people's motivation, feeling responsible when someone won't perform. You carry unspoken expectations you never agreed to. And you carry the gap between the chef you imagined you'd be and the chef the business requires you to be. Most of us carry it all silently, as if it's just part of the deal. It doesn't have to be.The Authorship ResetWhen did you stop choosing this? Not when did it get hard — when did you move from *I choose this* to *I don't have a choice?* Because choosing nothing is still a choice, and choices can be revisited. The refrain to take from this episode: this didn't start as obligation. It started as love. Love without authorship turns into obligation. Obligation without boundaries turns into resentment. And resentment is just love that's lost its way.The reset is three steps — on paper, not in your head. One: name what you're carrying that isn't yours. Two: name what you're choosing today. Three: release one expectation you never agreed to. Pick one. Just one. The reset isn't a reinvention. It's a reclamation.-----------------------You wouldn't run a kitchen with broken equipment, so why are you redlining your own body?

Content becomes forgettable when the key message isn't wrapped in storytelling.People don't retain information anywhere near as well as they remember stories they hear, and this is where manufacturing is missing a trick.Manufacturers are battling false perceptions that the industry is dirty, dingy, not innovative and not creative. But what's really happening is a failure to communicate the good stuff - the advanced systems and problem solving going on behind factory walls. The things that impact almost everything we touch in our lives.Chris is joined by Danny Gonzales, CEO at IndustrialSage – a video production company focusing on telling those manufacturing stories. Danny noticed that the sector was massively underserved and saw an opportunity to change peoples' perceptions. Using his background in B2B video production to fill the empty space with tales of meaningful work, and to show them to people in a way that they can receive it as something cool. Not a brain dump of stagnant information.For anyone thinking about how manufacturing companies can better communicate their value, attract talent, build stronger brands or create connections through storytelling, this episode is a look at how media and manufacturing are merging.In this episode, find out:How IndustrialSage was born out of the discovery that the machines, technology and processes happening in factories was both very cool and underrepresented in media.IndustrialSage and Danny's mission to change the common misconceptions about the manufacturing industry through storytelling and thought leadership.How true opportunity is found in the niches, despite the instinct to gravitate towards the aesthetic and techy industries which are usually overserviced.How Danny's career has evolved from his college dream of becoming a Hollywood producer, and how an actual Hollywood producer set him on his current path.Why product-user content filmed on an iPhone is outperforming brand films and how leveraging these tools can save time and money while embracing the shift towards authenticity.Why Danny believes the key to creating quality video content is in the strategy and distribution and what companies can do to implement these effectively.Why storytelling is the best way to communicate the value proposition and the psychology behind why it is so effective in overcoming the flood of content.Enjoying the show?

There are a lot of people that think it's dingy, grimy, not innovative, not creative, and they're dead wrong. We want to show what is going on. We want to do that through storytelling.” – Danny Gonzales “Most people will upload videos, and they just sit there on YouTube, maybe embedded on their website, and that's it. There are so many other use cases – social media, in your trade shows, in your email campaigns.” – Danny Gonzales“For anyone that's going to be a little bit more storytelling driven, there's like an 8X chance that people are going to remember it better when you wrap it inside of a story. That's just how we communicate, and it's easier to be able to transmit.” – Danny GonzalesLinks & mentions:IndustrialSage, industry-leading media company, publishing compelling content for industrial & manufacturing professionalsSierra Nevada Brewing, their Mills River Taproom in Asheville is the Willie Wonka of craft breweriesConnect with Danny on LinkedInMake sure to visit http://manufacturinghappyhour.com for detailed show notes and a full list of resources mentioned in this episode.

In the 1880s, Rowan County, Kentucky, became known as “Bloody Rowan” after politics, old grudges and personal revenge led to one of the state's deadliest feuds. This episode traces the Rowan County War from an Election Day shooting in Morehead to three years of ambushes, militia intervention and a final armed showdown that ended the violence, but not through justice.

Ten years of the YOBcast and not a single nudity episode?! Until now. Join Tom, Ryan, Matt, and a special guest to discuss this important intersection of nudity, body image, and vulnerability with other men. How did our familial and peer upbringings shape our relationship with nudity as adults? How have we – or haven't we – entered nude environments like doctor's offices, locker rooms, and Korean spas? We share stories of how appropriate, non-sexual nudity has initiated deeper brotherhood, and also stories of insecurity or lack of desire to be nude with other men. Wherever you fall on this “nudity desire spectrum,” we hope this episode helps you reconsider your relationship with your own body, as well as your embodied relationships with the men around you.

Top Chef Season 23 Ep 12 Recap Join Curt “Leather Britches” Klopp Clark and Chef Jim Smith as they dive into Top Chef Season 23, Episode 12, where the remaining chefs tackle the flavors and resilience of Asheville, North Carolina. This episode spotlights the challenges of post-hurricane recovery and tests their creativity with Appalachian ingredients. Then they returned to Charlotte for the Elimination Challenge, where they cooked for 200 community members. The discussion takes an honest look at how disaster shapes cuisine, community, and the contest itself. Curt and Jim break down how the episode centers on Asheville's restaurant community uniting after Hurricane Helene. Chef Ashleigh Shanti guides the chefs through the city's distinctive culinary scene and ingredients, from pawpaws to leather britches. The episode explores how each chef weaves personal background and local produce into their dishes during a demanding large-scale cookout. Listeners get insights into the tension of outdoor cooking, smart execution for big crowds, and the impact of small mistakes on big stages. The conversation also takes a thoughtful detour into the emotional side of competition as Seeger's dramatic exit divides opinions. Key moments from the discussion include: The intricacies of using Appalachian staples like chow chow, sour corn, October beans, and leather britches, and the creativity these ingredients inspire. Chef Rhoda's ingenious fusion egg roll incorporating Filipino flavors, buckwheat, and apple butter, earning high praise. How Laurence's ambitious 200-bun catfish sandwich showcases technical skill under pressure—and why judges nitpick the details. Sherry's strategy to select exclusive ingredients, innovating with Brazilian street food influences for a standout party dish. A closer look at Seeger's controversial chicken liver pâté, the risks of serving cold dishes outdoors, and the fallout from his tense elimination. As four chefs remain, will tactical ingredient choices and personal flair define who reaches the finale, or will execution under tough conditions prove decisive? Listen in for a thoughtful blend of food talk and competition analysis, and see how real-world challenges shape the Top Chef kitchen. Dig deeper into the strategies, flavors, and strong opinions, watch or listen to this episode for a full taste of Asheville's culinary showdown and the decisions shaping the season's endgame. 00:00 Unpacking Knives, Meet the Hosts 06:07 Asheville Chefs Rebuild After Helene 10:58 Appalachian Ingredients Challenge Revealed 14:45 Asheville Restaurant Tour and Insights 18:59 Sherry Claims Key Ingredient Advantage 23:11 Chefs Face Grueling Outdoor Service 29:41 Rhoda's Filipino-Appalachian Fusion Dish 34:47 Laurence Stuns With 200 Sandwiches 41:25 Seeger's Risky Cold Dish Falters 47:11 Rhoda's Victory, Judges Praise Winners 49:59 Seeger Challenges Judges, Exits Show 55:03 Reflections on Asheville and Helene Never miss a minute of Top Chef coverage!

What unfolds is an honest and vulnerable conversation about setbacks, growth, mental toughness, and what it really means to keep showing up when things get hard.Troy opens up about his running journey—from growing up around endurance sports, to rediscovering running after losing both his mother and his dog in the same week, to eventually falling in love with trail and ultra running after reading Born to Run. The conversation also dives deep into Troy's first 100-mile DNF at Dark Divide and how that experience forced him to reevaluate his mindset, priorities, and relationship with chasing qualifiers for races like Western States and Hardrock.The heart of the episode centers around Hellbender 100, one of the toughest races on the East Coast. Troy shares how this training block was the strongest of his life, the nutrition struggles and sleep deprivation he battled during the race, and how support from family, friends, and the trail community helped carry him through the darkest moments of the night.Some key themes from the episode include:Using running as a tool for resilience and mental healthLearning from failure and difficult race experiencesThe balance between chasing qualifiers and enjoying the sportTraining consistency, durability, and strength workManaging low moments during ultras and continuing forwardThe importance of community in trail runningThis one is raw, relatable, and full of those classic MidPacker moments where everyday runners chase extraordinary goals.Relevant LinksHellbender 100Run828 FoundationLaurel Highlands UltraHellbender Participant GuideHellbender Course InfoLaurel Highlands Hiking TrailPartner Links: PlayOn Relief - https://playonrelief.comAll Natural, Fast Acting, Long Lasting, Targeted ReliefUse MIDPACKER for 20% off your first orderTraining PeaksA training app as versatile as you.

Dr. Vasant Lad is the founder of the Ayurvedic Institute and the man most responsible for bringing Ayurveda to the West. He has spent over 40 years teaching this 5,000-year-old science of life to practitioners across the world, and in this conversation, we sat down together at SoHum Mountain Healing Center in Asheville, North Carolina, where I had just completed a week-long Panchakarma. What unfolded was one of the most quietly profound conversations I have had on this show.What We Dive Into:1. Why unprocessed emotions don't simply pass — and how grief settles in the heart, anger in the liver, and fear in the kidneys until they're physically released.2. How your tongue, pulse, and face reveal what's happening inside your body, often before any symptom appears.3. Why your original constitution (prakruti) shapes everything from your digestion to your temperament — and how modern life pulls you away from it.4. The gap between two breaths, and why Dr. Lad calls it an ocean of awareness available to anyone willing to sit in it.THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:SoHum Mountain Healing Center — Code AndrePK2026 for $500 off from your Panchakarma bookinghttps://www.sohumhealing.comFunction Health — Code KNOWTHYSELF25 for $25 credit towards membershiphttps://www.functionhealth.com/KNOWTHYSELF___________00:00 Intro01:58 What Ayurveda Actually Means02:40 The Five Elements, Three Doshas, and the Body06:18 Prakruti, Vikruti, and the Root of Disease08:00 The Sankhya Philosophy Behind Ayurveda13:33 The Goal of Ayurveda15:26 Dr. Lad's Path: Guru, Calling, and Coming West18:06 Where Western Medicine Falls Short22:05 Ama, Agni, and the Ayurvedic View of Disease25:56 Pulse, Tongue, and Face: The Art of Diagnosis34:29 Reading Psychological Nature Through the Pulse39:00 The Gap Between Breaths: Awareness and Mysticism44:37 How Repressed Emotions Crystallize in the Body47:39 Panchakarma: Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Cleansing51:52 Ojas, Tejas, and Prana: The Vital Essences56:18 Sexual Energy, Celibacy, and the Cultivation of Ojas1:00:07 Life as Meditation: The Unified Field1:06:00 The Ayurvedic View of Death and Dying1:14:56 Dinacharya: The Daily Routine as Spiritual Practice1:18:48 The Doshic Clock and the Yugas1:25:22 Relationship, Self-Knowledge, and the Closing Message___________MORE FROM DR.

Most kitchen cultures don't break in blow-ups. They erode in the things leaders chose not to name. This episode is for the chef who knows something is off in the room, has known for weeks, and keeps hoping it will fix itself."Love without boundaries becomes martyrdom. Standards without heart becomes control. Leadership is the integration of both."Register for the free monthly Culinary Leadership Lab: a live working space for chefs ready to lead without losing themselves @ https://thecheflifebrigade.com/thelab-------------------The Signal in the RoomYou've walked into a kitchen and felt it before you could name it. Service is running. Tickets are moving. Food is going out. But the energy is weird. The team is guarded. The rhythm feels broken in a way you can't put your finger on.That's not anxiety. That's not you being too sensitive. That's your leadership radar going off. And if you've been at this long enough, you know that feeling isn't random. The discomfort is information.The problem isn't that you don't feel it. The problem is what most of us do with it. We hope.We hope it fixes itself. We hope they get the message. We hope one more shift will smooth it out. But hope in that context isn't strategy. It's avoidance wearing a patient face. And what you tolerate, you teach.How We Got HereWe didn't get here because we stopped caring. We got here because we cared deeply. We fell in love with the craft, with feeding people, with precision, with the feeling of getting it exactly right.Then we ran into a business that rewarded the ones who could absorb the most, who could endure the most, who could give the most without asking for anything back. So we hardened. We armored up to survive. And slowly, quietly, the heart that made us powerful became something we learned to protect instead of lead from.Here's the fracture most chefs don't have language for yet. The craft asks for presence. The business rewards endurance. Those two things pull in opposite directions. If nobody teaches you how to hold both, you end up believing that sacrificing yourself is part of the job. It isn't. That's conditioning.Two CustomersIn every operation, there are two customers. The guest at table 12. And the internal customer — your team, the people standing next to you on the line, carrying the mission with you every shift.Both are owed something.But if you're wired as a people pleaser — if you're wired to smooth things over, to absorb the friction so nobody else has to feel it — you're probably over-indexing on one and under-serving the other. Most chefs are deeply committed to the guest experience. They'll flex the menu, jump on a station, take the hit. And in doing that, they sometimes quietly ask their team to absorb the chaos instead.That's not leadership. That's love without boundaries. And love without boundaries always lands somewhere — usually on the people closest to you.Stay Tall & Frosty.

We're going to Asheville on this week's episode of Top Chef! Tune into our coverage of the final five chef in season 23, and stick around for a SPICY judges table.
This year has felt like there've been a series of large sports mega events and summits planned and taking place in cities across the USA. For instance, starting in June the FIFA World Cup will be hosted in cities across the country (as well as a few in Mexico and Canada). Also a few cities are hosting meetings and an eventual summit related to the G20, or group of 20 economies, a gathering between large capitalist industries, banks, para-grovernmental neoliberal international institutions, government ministries and heads of state that share policy decisions effecting immigration, wars, trade policy and the climate. In 2028 Los Angeles will host the Olympics. This episode will feature two discussions about some of the security impacts of hosting large sports or political events and the ways that the state and capital work to change the landscape and norms of the locations they take place. First up, Kristian Williams speaks about National Special Security Events like the G20 or World Cup, how they change local police and surveillance landscapes and work to turbocharge gentrification and displace working and poor people, making our cities more hostile to anything but commerce and control. Then, you'll hear from Sam Schmidt at Our Streets Collective to speak about homeless sweeps in Pittsburgh, PA in the run-up to and aftermath of the 2026 NFL Draft taking place in that city. Kristian Williams past interviews on TFSR new book, Policing The Progressive City Our Streets Collective: https://www.ourstreetscollective.org/ Article showing complaints to police in Pittsburgh about homelessness info-page for PopEd around G20 in Asheville this year: g20avl.noblogs.org past episodes relating to G20 protests and repression on TFSR Prosfigyka video by Sub.Media: https://sub.media/prosfygika-resist/ Prosfigyka coverage by Pyrias of Athens appears on this episode of B(A)D News podcast Announcement Marius Mason Longtime listeners to The Final Straw Radio will be familiar with the yearly June 11th Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason and other Longterm Anarchist Prisoners.

In April 1997, Judy Smith, a 23-year-old nurse from Newton, Massachusetts, vanished while on a sightseeing trip in Philadelphia with her husband. Initially, she was seen at the hotel, but when her husband returned from the conference, she was gone. Days of searching turned up no trace, and several confusing sightings suggested she may have traveled alone. Five months later, Judy's remains were discovered in a shallow grave in Pisgah National Forest, near Asheville, North Carolina, over 600 miles from Philadelphia. She had been stabbed, and the clothing on her body indicated hiking gear, none of it hers. Her red backpack, a signature item she always carried, was missing. Investigators have never solved how she got there or who killed her. The case remains a haunting mystery. If you have any information that could help bring Judy's family answers, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Until then, the question remains: what happened to Judy Smith?

Send us Fan MailThis episode is a companion audio diary to my interview with Ted Riskin, recorded while participating in one of his five-day Internal Family Systems (IFS) ketamine-assisted group retreats in Asheville, North Carolina. Over the course of the retreat, I recorded stream-of-consciousness reflections into my iPhone each day as I moved through group process, ketamine journeys, hikes in the mountains, and conversations about healing, anger, meaning, and inner balance.This episode is more personal and less structured than my usual interviews. Part field journal, part psychological exploration, it captures what it feels like to enter one of these increasingly popular healing environments.Timestamps0:00 - Audio Diary Retreat Setup1:55 - Meeting The Group And The Method4:19 - Setting Intentions For Inner Balance5:16 - First Ketamine Journey And Comeback10:32 - Integration Plus Hikes And Workday13:14 - Anger Work And Nature Reset15:14 - Lower Dose Insights And Next StepsSubscribe to the Developing Meaning Substack newsletter: Developing Meaning SubstackDeveloping Meaning is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE and is NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY INSTITUTIONS.Theme music by The Thrashing Skumz.

In this episode, the team discusses a new paper on why Clovis hunter/gatherers selected certain types of stone for their points and blades. Then the team welcomes archaeologist Scott Ashcraft to discuss his complex federal whistleblower case against the U.S. Forest Service. Scott Ashcraft attended Western Carolina University, earning a degree in Physical Geography. In the summer of 1989, he was hired for a major archaeological excavation ahead of the construction of a new elementary school within the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' Qualla Boundary. After graduating from WCU in 1990, Ashcraft immediately enrolled in a University of North Carolina-Charlotte field school at a large WNC Mississippian site. Over the next three years, Ashcraft worked on a variety of archaeological contract projects from Mobile, AL, to New York City. During occasional work breaks, he returned to Asheville, NC, to assist Dr. David Moore with large salvage excavations at Mississippian town sites across western North Carolina. In 1993, Ashcraft was hired by the USFS (NFsNC), beginning a 32-year CRM career that eventually broadened to include complementary research and investigative interests. In 1994, Ashcraft founded the North Carolina Rock Art Project, eventually increasing the state's recorded petroglyph and pictograph sites from seven to more than 120. He also advanced major rock art conservation efforts, including Judaculla Rock—the most densely carved petroglyph in the eastern U.S.—and Paint Rock, among the region's oldest pictograph sites. Another primary career passion for Ashcraft was Wildfire Archaeology, a specialized field he helped pioneer by integrating archaeologists into active wildfire operations to assess and protect important cultural resources. This position required intensive firefighter training and physical conditioning so that archaeologists could play an active role in protecting significant sites during the often chaotic initial attack phase of fire conditions. As the specialty matured, Ashcraft was invited to co-instruct the National Interagency Fire Archaeology Course over several years. Working closely with Tribal partners—especially the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians—was among the most meaningful aspects of his later career, including many collaborative projects important to the Cherokee.
