Maine's craft brewing industry has always punched above its weight despite being among the smallest in population. The state ranked second in breweries (14.3 per 100,000 21+ adults) and economic impact per capita, and third in gallons (9.8) per 21+ adult in 2024, according to Brewers Association data.    That outsized impact along with the state's robust tourism business gives Maine craft brewers a unique perspective on the industry's ebbs and flows.    The latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast features two of those voices – Baxter Brewing president Jenn Lever and Orono Brewing co-owner Abe Furth – in separate conversations recorded during the New England Brew Summit. Both are also Maine Brewers Guild leaders and board members.    Up first, Lever explained what it's like to navigate a business when seven months account for the lion's share of volume.    "We're so proud to represent Maine year-round, but we also recognize the challenges that come when your population quadruples for less than half of the year," she said. "You've gotta be ready to activate and react as quickly as possible to that summer season.    "The people that come to Maine the first time, it's never their last time."   Lever also touched on how Baxter's mix shifts during the busy season, the loss of Canadian tourism amid strained international relations and why blueberry-flavored offerings have become big business for the company.   Then, Furth discussed why guild participation remains important. He also shared why operating in a college town allows him to peer into the future and plan accordingly, and explained the importance of working through innovation plans with the brewery's distributors to find products that fill real whitespace in their portfolios.    Before the interview, Justin and Jess recap Tilray's purchase of BrewDog's U.S. assets and the future of the platform. They also look at some not great shipment numbers to start the year and some not-so-bad scans.

Practise listening to British English conversation and enjoy some complaining, ranting and funny anecdotes in this episode based on the concept of a popular BBC TV chat show. My guest is Charlie Baxter from The British English Podcast. Charlie has chosen 3 things which he wants to be locked inside the mythical "Room 101"

In August 1925, fourteen-year-old Mary Vickery vanished from the coal camp of Coxton in Harlan County, Kentucky. Her father, miner E.C. Vickery, stopped going underground and began searching above it, combing hollows and writing desperate letters for help. Months later, a decomposed body was discovered in an abandoned mine shaft between Harlan and Baxter.A suspect was arrested. A courtroom filled to the rafters. A jury convicted 23-year-old taxi driver Conley Dabney of rape and murder, sentencing him to life in prison.And then, nearly a year later, the “murdered” girl walked into a hotel in Williamsburg, Kentucky, very much alive.Mary Vickery – The missing girl who returned from the dead.E.C. Vickery – Her father, who identified a body that was not his daughter.Conley Dabney – Taxi driver convicted of Mary's “murder,” later pardoned.Marie Jackson – The key witness whose testimony sent a man to prison.Leila Cole – A woman who may have been the true victim found in the mine.Roxie Baker – Another young woman killed in Harlan in 1925, whose death still cast a shadow over the county.The fragility of eyewitness testimonyMoral panic in small townsHow quickly public opinion can flipThe role of newspapers in shaping guilt and innocenceThe complexity of teenage runaways in the 1920sJustice in coal countryThis is a story where nearly every thread tangles into another: jealous lovers, missing women, contradictory confessions, misidentified clothing, and suspects who vanish just as grand juries convene.And at the center of it all, a girl who heard that a man was in prison for killing her… and chose not to come home.I uncovered photographs of Mary Vickery, Conley Dabney, Governor Fields signing the pardon, Marie Jackson, and even Mary's courthouse wedding just days after her return.

In today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I have an incredible guest, Adam.Adam turned his grief into a mission to support others through the pain of pet loss with compassion, community, and REAL resources.His career has been deeply connected to veterinary medicine. He built a company that helped more than 10,000 veterinary clinics grow and strengthen their online presence. Over the years, he learned how clinics operate, what their teams carry, and how fiercely they advocate for the families they serve.And then it became his turn.When Baxter declined, he learned, like so many pet parents do in real time, that you can be capable and experienced and still feel completely lost when you love your pet like family.Love, Baxter is his commitment to creating the world's most helpful resource for pet end-of-life, senior pet care, euthanasia support, aftercare, and grief.Not as a brand story.But as a real response to a loss that changed his family.➡️Learn more about Adam's mission here: https://lovebaxter.com/

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!When Tim Baxter left Express, he thought he might semi-retire. What he discovered instead was a vision he'd been building toward for 30 years; a belief in the meaningful role a retail store can play in people's lives, and his conviction to bring it to life. In this conversation, Haley Boehning sits down with Tim to unpack the story behind The Baxter Collective, a new highly-curated physical retail platform opening its first store in Rye, New York. Designed to fill the white space between the endless aisles online and the niche boutique, The Baxter Collective isn't about reinventing the department store. It's about something older and more human: a neighborhood store where people feel welcome, the edit is done specifically for them, and the sales team knows their name. The conversation is a masterclass in leadership and clarity of conviction. Tim talks about the moment he realized what was missing in retail today, not a format, but a feeling. He shares what he learned from 30+ years across Macy's, Express, and in his board seat at Stitch Fix about why brands lose their way, why simplicity is harder than it looks, and why the store manager is the most underestimated person in the business. Behind every bold business move is a leadership story. This is Tim Baxter's. If you've ever wondered what it takes to bet on a new idea after a long career, or how to stay close to the customer when everything around you is telling you to scale, this retail story is for you. Special Guest: Tim Baxter, Founder, The Baxter Collective For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Our month of Best Picture Oscar winners continues with All About Eve - where Anne Baxter's ambitious Eve inserts herself into the life of Bette Davis' legendary Broadway star with a plan to steal the actress's crown. We'll hear Ms. Baxter and Ms. Davis - both Oscar nominees for their performances - in stories from Suspense and a Lux Radio Theatre recreation of the film. Anne Baxter fights to get ahead in the cutthroat world of advertising in "Always Room at the Top" (originally aired on CBS on February 20, 1947), and Bette Davis is menaced by a madman in "Goodnight, Mrs. Russell" (originally aired on CBS on October 20, 1949). Then the stars reunite on the Lux broadcast of "All About Eve" (originally aired on CBS on October 10, 1951).

PlantSwitch CEO Dillon Baxter won a 25-million-unit Walmart contract before his company had a production facility. He flew to China, stood up a 300,000 square foot vertically integrated factory in 45 days, and delivered 100 million forks in the first year. This episode covers what he learned about vertical integration, GTM sequencing, and why selling materials to legacy manufacturers is a trap most founders fall into too late.Winning a Walmart contract with no factory and executing a 45-day China buildoutThe failure mode of selling raw materials to legacy manufacturers — and the vertical integration pivot that unlocked PMFCompeting against greenwashing in the "industrial compostable" categoryHow tariffs and trade war disruption killed national procurement cycles and forced a distribution pivotBuilding a full product catalog as the precondition for distribution network leverageLive Nation partnership and the shift to mid-market B2B distributionPricing strategy against plastic alternatives, not commodity plasticSelling materials to legacy manufacturers is a distribution trap PlantSwitch originally raised on the premise of creating the raw material and letting large manufacturers take it to market. It looked clean on a pitch deck. In practice, a legacy plastics manufacturer has no urgency to sell a new sustainable material — it's a rounding error on their P&L. For PlantSwitch, it was survival. The insight isn't just operational; it's about sales intensity asymmetry. Whoever has the most to lose will always outsell the partner who doesn't. "If you sell a new material to a manufacturer, they still have to go sell that to the customer. Who is going to be better at selling that material to the customer — is it going to be the legacy manufacturer who's been selling plastic for 50 years, or is it going to be the young, innovative startup where that's our livelihood?"Distribution network before product catalog — then invert When trade war uncertainty froze national procurement cycles, PlantSwitch pivoted away from chasing large direct accounts and spent 2024 building a distribution network. The sequencing was deliberate: no distributor wants a single SKU. PlantSwitch had to build straws, cutlery, cups, and variations across all of them to have a compelling catalog. Now that the network exists, every new product launch has immediate reach. "Now that we've built out that distribution network, it's a lot easier to just get penetration for those products and sell them to our existing customers."Your biggest contract shouldn't require a factory you don't have — but it might be your best outcome anyway The conventional wisdom is to ramp into enterprise. PlantSwitch skipped it entirely, went straight to Walmart, and had to build a 300,000 square foot factory in 45 days to deliver. The compressed execution forced operational rigor that a slow ramp never would have. The cost was pressure. The benefit was capability consolidation. "Trial by fire at its finest."Compete against the greenwashing tier, not commodity pricing PlantSwitch's customers have already ruled out plastic. The real competitive set is the "industrial compostable" category — products labeled sustainable that require special high-heat facilities to compost, and which still create microplastics if they end up in the environment. Customers in that category are paying a premium for a sustainability story that doesn't hold. PlantSwitch competes on being genuinely home compostable, at competitive pricing, with higher performance. "Companies are paying double for this sustainable messaging and it's not solving any sort of sustainable problem."// Sponsors: Front Lines — Silicon Valley's leading Podcast Production Studio.

Legal scholar Elizabeth Chamblee Burch focuses on three women with mesh implants who were targeted, manipulated, and violated—at their own expense. Through the searing stories of Sharon Gore, Barbara Shepard, and Jerri Plummer—middle-aged women separated by geography, education, and socioeconomic factors—Burch sheds light on not only the injustices of mass torts, which she describes as “personal-injury litigation on steroids,” but also the indignities endemic in women's healthcare.  Drawing on more than 150 interviews conducted over two years, backed by 209,000 pages of documentation, THE PAIN BROKERS is at once a critical work of public service journalism and a real-life thriller. As Burch unfolds each level of the scheme, readers meet: Vincent Chhabra, a Versace-clad entrepreneur and architect of Alpha Law, LLC—which, despite its name and partnerships with some actual lawyers, was a call center. Headquartered at 1000 Corporate Drive in south Florida, Alpha Law employed nearly two hundred operators in headsets who capitalized on patients' private medical records, obtained through a data breach in India, to make unsolicited calls to vulnerable women with mesh implants, including Sharon, Barbara, and Jerri.      Blake Barber, a hulking ex-paralegal with a flamingo pink goatee who turned women's medical fears into cash for third-party funders by orchestrating a ruthless “concierge service” that flew terrified patients to Florida chop shops to have their mesh removed. Dr. Christopher Walker, a Jamaican-born urogynecologist known by his Instagram handle @Dr.Downtown who, after losing his savings in a Ponzi scheme, went from inserting mesh to extracting it at breakneck speed for seven times his normal fee—a feat made possible by refusing to accept women's insurance and forcing them to sign liens against their future settlement proceeds.  J.R. Baxter, a newly minted small-town Arkansas lawyer and passionate crusader for justice who, against daunting odds, represented Sharon, Barbara, and Jerri, as well as 180 other women.And finally, J.R. 's unlikely ally, Barbara Binis, a seasoned Philadelphia defense attorney hired to do financial damage control for a mesh manufacturer who devoted nearly four years to uncovering the mass-tort scheme.           Centered on three women who went through the mesh mill, THE PAIN BROKERS exposes the profit-hungry scammers and unscrupulous doctors whom they trusted.           Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode of Let's Combinate, Subhi Saadeh speaks with Jen Riter about analytical method validation for drug device combination products. The discussion explores how traditional drug analytical validation under ICH Q2 differs from validating functional and mechanical performance methods used for combination products. These methods often require an engineering mindset that incorporates measurement system analysis (MSA), gage R&R studies, and the use of fabricated surrogate standards when devices cannot be reused for testing.They also discuss platform test methods and how standards such as ISO 11040 and other ISO references can serve as starting points for method development. The conversation touches on the evolving alignment between ISO based device methods and pharmacopeial expectations such as USP . The episode also covers make vs buy testing decisions, when to outsource specialized testing such as CCIT and extractables and leachables, and how sponsors manage oversight of contract testing laboratories.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Guest Introduction00:53 ICH Q2 vs MSA Mindset Shift04:37 Surrogate Standards for Mechanical Testing11:12 Platform Methods and ISO 1104015:14 ISO vs USP Verification Debate20:06 Outsourcing Analytical Testing Strategy24:07 Choosing the Right Test Lab26:20 Sponsor Oversight of Contract Labs30:09 Wrap UpAbout Jen RiterJen Riter is an analytical testing and laboratory leader with nearly three decades of experience working in pharmaceutical packaging, drug delivery systems, and combination products.

A Brief History of Creation …AND GOD SAID... is a brilliant retelling of The Book of Genesis, one of the foundational texts of Western culture. The biases, gaps and silences of the original are given voice and texture by Leff's humane and compelling imagination which brings a fresh and passionate angle of vision to these familiar stories, transforming in the process not only our understanding of our religious past but also of the contemporary life which is in part a product of that past. This is a wonderful and exhilarating book --- Alan Shapiro, Author of ten poetry collections including Tantalus in Love and Old War Poems Praise for UNDERTOW ….These deftly crafted poems treat the quotidian, the metaphysical, and the magical- “as if I could grab a handful of stars from the sky and toss them on the tiles at your feet.” Sharply observed, heartrending and celebratory by turns, UNDERTOW conducts us through a lifetime of landscapes its fascination with orientation in shifting memory and place becoming our own.--Susan Cobin, Author, What You Choose 

Send a textA newborn brain can feel the pulse before it knows the tune—and that single insight opens a door into how early our minds start to organize the world. We kick off the new season by exploring two studies that hit close to home: one revealing that infants build visual categories and detect musical rhythm far earlier than many assumed, and another mapping the real‑world challenges older adults face when caring for pets they deeply love. The data is surprising, the implications are practical, and the thread running through it all is how we turn evidence into everyday decisions.Our guest, Dr. Raven the Science Maven, brings sharp insight and contagious energy to the bigger question: how do we bridge science and public life? From molecular biology to a PhD focused on communication, from catchy vaccine tracks to hosting Pfizer's Science Will Win, Raven shows how storytelling, music, and personal narrative make complex ideas land. We talk institutional barriers, the pandemic's hard lessons, why every science degree should include communication training, and how her nonprofit, The Science Haven, sparks curiosity with projects like Stellar Dreams.If you enjoy smart, human stories that connect lab findings to daily choices, tap play, subscribe, and share with a friend who loves science and pets.

This week, a special road trip episode featuring award-winning Owensboro, Kentucky bluegrass singer/songwriter Rick Faris and his band recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Rick Faris is a Kansas Music Hall of Fame Member who was recently awarded the “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards making him an 8-time IBMA Award winner. In addition Rick won the coveted “New Artist of the Year” in 2022. Faris also spent 11 years with Special Consensus while the band earned two GRAMMY nominations before embarking on his chart topping solo career. The Rick Faris Band, is an International touring Bluegrass outfit playing in the US, Mainland Europe, the British Isles and Canada. They bring sibling harmony and comedic relief with brother JimBob Faris on bass and a youthful snap to their original brand of music with a couple of bluegrass thoroughbreds, Henry Burgess (who grew up with fiddle legend Byron Berline) and Gibson Davis (who is a third generation bluegrass musician following father Chris Davis and his Grandfather Danny Davis). Rick recently moved to Owensboro, Kentucky the Bluegrass Music Capital and has opened his Faris Guitar Co. - https://rickfaris.com/press-kit In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1988 archival recording of gospel music legends The Chuck Wagon Gang performing the 1934 J.R. Baxter song “After the Sunrise,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins explores the storied history of early gospel music publishing in the Ozark and Quachita Mountains.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dr. Jason Baxter and Dcn. Harrison Garlick come together to introduce Dante's Purgatorio and Dr. Baxter's new translation!We are reading Dante's Purgatorio for Lent. Join us!Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule!Check out our LIBRARY of written guides to the great books!DISCOUNT: Check out Dr. Jason Baxter's website and enter "Ascend" to receive **20%** off the Purgatorio audiobook read by Dr. Baxter!Check out Dr. Baxter's Substack article on his new translation.And thank you to the Center of Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College for promoting this reading of the Purgatorio!Dr. Baxter first describes the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College as a fellowship program (Angelico Fellows) that immerses students in beauty across the arts, music, literature, and theology—through concerts, museums, and pilgrimages—to foster interiority and the conviction that “beauty can save the world.”The conversation then contrasts Purgatorio with the Inferno: while the latter is dark, lurid, and focused on judgment, Purgatorio is a place of hope, mercy, transformation, and “eternal New Year's resolutions,” where repentant souls engage in spiritual exercises to purify their tarnished mirrors, learn authentic love and prayer, and prepare for Paradise. Baxter likens the shift to moving from heavy metal to Schubert, emphasizing greenness, brightness, and unexpected mercy.Baxter explains that his translation began as a personal quest for mastery—going word-by-word to internalize Dante like memorizing a piano piece—but evolved into a philosophy capturing Dante's “fugue” of style: ascending, prolix syntax with lofty classical allusions layered over humble, earthy words that reflect Franciscan humility and incarnational Christian poetics. Examples include goats ruminating on the “foco d'amore” (fire of love) amid elevated star imagery, or Statius calling Virgil's Aeneid “una mamma” (translated “mommy”).He describes Purgatorio as spiritual surgery—painfully removing the soul's “carcinogenic” elements through grace-filled cooperation—and a map for configuring to Christ beyond mere sin avoidance. Baxter advises first-time readers to pause at puzzling images or word choices, ask “why would Dante do that here?,” trust their instincts, and consider his audiobook for the text's soundscape, while Deacon Garlick stresses the canticle's role as a spiritual guide that mirrors one's own maturation toward God.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and Dante's Purgatorio03:43 The Center for Beauty and Culture05:40 Understanding Dante's Purgatorio07:54 The Nature of Purgatorio14:54 Dante the Pilgrim vs. Dante the Poet19:32 The Spirituality of Translation20:14 The Philosophy of Translation30:02 Dante's Christian Poetics34:22 Exploring Dante's Poetic Style36:51 Juxtaposition in Dante's Imagery41:42 The Concept of Spiritual Surgery44:49 The Journey of Holiness48:13 The Role of...

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. – Hebrews 4:9 In The Saints' Everlasting Rest, Baxter pulls back the curtain on eternity, unveiling the glories prepared for those who love Christ: freedom from all evil, perfection of body and soul, unbroken communion with God, and joy that no one can take away. But while heaven is the perfection of rest, a child of God may even now have Christ's perfect peace and rest, no matter how difficult the circumstances of life may seem. With the urgency of one who experienced near death himself, Baxter pleads with his readers to take God in Christ for your only rest and to make heaven the goal and delight of every day. His stirring words – rich with Scripture, solemn warnings, and radiant hope – have led many to turn from the empty promises of this world and fix their hearts on the incorruptible inheritance kept in heaven. This edition of Baxter's signature work has been painstakingly updated, while still preserving his clarion call to live now in the delightful foretastes of heaven and to persevere until faith becomes sight and joy becomes everlasting. About the Author Richard Baxter (1615–1691) preached “as a dying man to dying men.” He was devoted to God and was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Best known as the minister of Kidderminster in England, his love for God and others resulted in practically the entire town of Kidderminster turning to Jesus during Baxter's ministry there. Richard Baxter desired unity among Christians, which often resulted in opposition from those who held to church loyalty or theological views rather than to Christ and God's Word. Baxter had his share of persecution, even being imprisoned on several occasions.

His stirring words – rich with Scripture, solemn warnings, and radiant hope – have led many to turn from the empty promises of this world and fix their hearts on the incorruptible inheritance kept in heaven. This edition of Baxter's signature work has been painstakingly updated, while still preserving his clarion call to live now in the delightful foretastes of heaven and to persevere until faith becomes sight and joy becomes everlasting. About the Author Richard Baxter (1615–1691) preached “as a dying man to dying men.” He was devoted to God and was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Best known as the minister of Kidderminster in England, his love for God and others resulted in practically the entire town of Kidderminster turning to Jesus during Baxter's ministry there. Richard Baxter desired unity among Christians, which often resulted in opposition from those who held to church loyalty or theological views rather than to Christ and God's Word. Baxter had his share of persecution, even being imprisoned on several occasions.

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. – Hebrews 4:9 In The Saints' Everlasting Rest, Baxter pulls back the curtain on eternity, unveiling the glories prepared for those who love Christ: freedom from all evil, perfection of body and soul, unbroken communion with God, and joy that no one can take away.

On January 5, 2026, Jirdes Winther Baxter passed away at 101 years old — the last known survivor of the 1925 diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska. A few years ago, we told the story of the Serum Run: the desperate relay of mushers and sled dogs who carried a life-saving antitoxin across Alaska, including to an 11-month-old Baxter. Today, that run lives on through the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Enjoy this classic HTW story, and stay tuned for new episodes soon! January 27, 1925. Musher “Wild Bill” Shannon and his team of sled dogs race off into the frigid Alaskan night. He's carrying a package of life-saving serum, wrapped in fur to keep it from freezing. There's no time to waste: nearly 700 miles away, in the snowed-in town of Nome, children are dying of diphtheria. Twenty mushers and hundreds of dogs are about to take part in an almost superhuman effort to ferry desperately needed medicine across the howling Alaskan wilderness. Who were they, and what did they endure to reach their goal? And as they pressed on, how did their efforts grip the nation? Special thanks to our guests, Pam Flowers, author of Togo and Leonhard, and Bob Thomas, author of Leonhard Seppala: The Siberian Dog and The Golden Age of Sleddog Racing 1908-1941. ** This episode originally aired Jan 23, 2023. -- Get in touch: historythisweekpodcast@history.com  Follow on Instagram: @historythisweekpodcast Follow on Facebook: ⁠HISTORY This Week Podcast⁠ To stay updated: http://historythisweekpodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
