POPULARITY
Moving Toward More Diverse Representation: w/ Austin Quinn-Davidson & E.J.R. David If you follow the news in Anchorage you might be aware that the City Assembly and the Mayor are currently at odds. One of the many areas of conflict is around the newly created position of Chief Equity Officer. What might get missed in the news coverage is the underlying issue of how Anchorage can be represented in a more equitable way. In this episode we consider how the leadership of the city can become the way it is supposed to be for all people. With: Austin Quinn-Davidson: former acting Mayor of Anchorage & current Assembly member – https://www.facebook.com/mayorAQD - https://www.facebook.com/anchorageassemblyAQD - https://www.austinquinndavidson.com/ - http://www.muni.org/departments/assembly/Pages/default.aspx & Dr. E.J.R. David: Professor of psychology at the University of Alaska Anchorage, author, speaker and consultant - https://www.facebook.com/ejrdavid - https://ejrdavid.wixsite.com/ejrdavid #allpeople All during this season of the AnchorEd City Podcast we are exploring places in the city where things are, or are becoming, more like they should be for all people. During the months of September, October, and November we are partnering with Kaladi Brothers Coffee to hear from you about what would make Anchorage the way it is supposed to be for all people.

The Coen Brothers film that gave us the Soggy Bottom Boys, O Brother, Where Art Thou, is having it's 20th Anniversary. There are many reasons we wanted to talk about this southern take on Homer's Odyssey, but the biggest reason is because Rob's bandmate, Austin Brown, is great friends with Quinn Gasaway who played Boy Hogwallop in the film! We were able to get Quinn to tell us some really fun stories about the audition process and what it was like on set, and both Austin & Quinn gave their entertaining takes on the film.We ended with a game we call The Starting 5 and since this film's soundtrack was such a hit, our Patrons can hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Movie Soundtracks.Enjoy!1:50 www.tickets.humbug.show2:07 Citizen Kane3:47 Happiest Season (HULU)6:49 Mank (NETFLIX)8:25 The Undoing (HBO Max)9:41 Buegs' Favorite Meal10:06 Rob's Favorite Meal11:45 Plugarooni's 12:14 Patreon.com/theavidindoorsmen 15:10 Austin Brown @_theaustinbrown; Quinn Gasaway @quinnstafriend17:04 www.austinbrownmusic.com23:00 Amy Winehouse Foundation https://amywinehousefoundation.org/25:58 O Brother Where Art Thou Plot Synopsis26:37 Rotten Tomatoes42:40 Buegs' Hot Take43:45 Rob's Hot Take47:15 Austin's Hot Take51:10 Quinn's Hot Take52:50 The Dude1:00:11 The Tucci Award1:23:06 Show Me The Money1:32:15 Buegs Boo Hoo Moments1:34:05 Movie Trivia1:40:44 Judgement Day1:42:50 The Starting 51:59:00 Passengers The Show on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/4LJ_0nEekCE2:01:08 Top 5 Movie Soundtracks

Many people are looking for ways to ditch the commutes, stress, grind, cube farm life and endless meetings of the corporate world. We would rather develop intentional, self-sufficient and sustainable lives. Even though we want to be more self-sufficient, the reality is that we need to have money to pay the bills and squirrel money away for a rainy day. Starting your own small business is one way to escape the corporate world. I recently had Michael Jordan from A Bee Friendly Company on Small Scale Life to discuss the various business opportunities with beekeeping. As I learned in this conversation, beekeeping is a billion dollar business if done right! Who is Michael Jordan? Michael is a husband, father, teacher, bee whisperer and entrepreneur, and he is a MVP of beekeeping and award-winning mead maker.

I recently had Michael Jordan from A Bee Friendly Company on the Small Scale Life to discuss bees, beekeeping, small business and mead. Michael was kind enough to take beekeeping questions from the Small Scale Life audience and followers. Who is Michael Jordan? Michael is a husband, father, teacher, bee whisperer and entrepreneur, and he is a MVP of beekeeping and award-winning mead maker. Find out more about Michael Jordan and how he got into mead and beekeeping in Small Scale Life Season 2, Episode 16. Beekeeping Questions for Michael Jordan [caption id="attachment_2092" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Bees hard at work in the yard in St. Louis Park, MN in June 2017[/caption] The following beekeeping questions were asked from the Small Scale Life audience: From Jay in Virginia: What are the basic requirements in terms of money and space for starting a small bee operation? The “small bee operation” is defined as enough to serve the purposes of your homestead. Honey, maybe some to sell, pollination to encourage growth of vegetables and flowers. EDIT: Some of this question is answered in Small Scale Life Season 2, Episode 16, but Michael talks about this question some more in this episode. From Nikki in Wisconsin: Do you recommend for new beekeepers to have a mentor for the first year? From Danielle in Minnesota: What is your preferred bear exclusion fencing system? Do you have a brand and volts recommendation? EDIT: Michael had some REALLY interesting ideas for this! From Nikki in Wisconsin: I'm working in the school garden with elementary age kids. Can you give some resources for bee activities, worksheets or honey cooking that I can teach the kids. (I took a bee keeping class at the University of Minnesota, and I am working with a bee mentor that had about 12 hives up in northern Wisconsin. I love listening to MJ and he inspires me to be kind.) EDIT: See the link below for A Bee Friendly Company! From John in Wisconsin: What's his advice for helping a spouse and a child overcome their fear of bees? I'd love to start, but I can't due to their fear. From Captain Lumbersquatch Greg Burns in Ohio: What is MJ's favorite method for making splits? From Dustin in Ohio: You posted a picture of red honeycomb in a recent post on Facebook. What made it red? My question: You were recently out in Arizona, and you made a video about bees needing water. Can you tell the audience about that and give us some suggestions for providing water for bees? My question: Some of the audience won’t become beekeepers, yet they are concerned about the bees and have gardens that need pollination. What are some tips for attracting bees to your yard and gardens? Michael Jordan's Links [caption id="attachment_1984" align="aligncenter" width="754"] Live a little; love a lot!

The Land of 10000 Downloads – S2E14 Is the world on fire right now? It seems like everything is coming apart at the seams. After a busy couple weeks, I was feeling pretty down this morning. As I opened my computer, I saw something that REALLY brightened my day, and I have to share some great news with you. This is Season 2, Episode 14, and in this episode we are celebrating 10000 downloads of the Small Scale Life Podcast! It is a great way to kick off the weekend, and it is a great accomplishment. Special Thanks I have to thank so many great guests I have had over the past year and a half including Greg Burns, Drew Sample, Kevin Michael Geary, Scott Herbert, Todd Ehrhardt, Charles Hugh Smith, Khaled Majouji (The Plant Charmer), Travis Swanson, Bren Haas and of course my good friend Jay Dolan. I would also like to thank Austin Quinn at Vlog Vibes for creating some great tunes for the podcast. These folks are all part of this story and the development and growth of the podcast. Most of all, I have to thank all of you for listening and encouraging me to keep going. There are times when you are recording these episodes where you wonder if anyone is listening, if this is making any sense or if any of it matters. Looking at the analytics, answering questions and interacting with you, I know it is making a difference. As long as we are making a difference in someone’s life, we will keep going. The Next 10000 Downloads As I told someone once, I will change the world one garden and one person at a time! We might not be able to change things in City Hall, State Capitol, DC or some far off land, but we can start right in our backyards. Start small, keep going and keep pushing. Reaching 10000 downloads is a great achievement for me, and I can hardly wait to get to the next 10000 downloads. Let’s do this and continue to learn, do and grow together!

Dune Local's original trio, vocalist Tristeen Caravella (T. Kissy) and drummer John Loetscher of Hampton Bays, and guitarist Austin Quinn of East Quogue are long time friends who grew up together on Long Island.
