From firing high profile government employees to making fundamental decisions on who can officially call themselves an American citizen, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Trump administration – its most frequent litigant lately – are turning to the court's emergency docket to unkink the federal government's policy hose. But unlike the court's regular docket, the justices can use the emergency docket without having to explain themselves or even reveal how they voted, earning its nickname as “the shadow docket.”With a plethora of litigation critical to the administration's effort to reshape the federal government, Courthouse News' Supreme Court reporter Kelsey Reichmann takes us through the maze of major issues that could be decided without any hints as to how the court came to its conclusions. With so much litigation rising from federal court in Washington, D.C. or directly running afoul of laws passed by Congress, Courthouse News D.C. reporters Ben Weiss and Ryan Knappenberger also contributed to this episode. This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel. Intro music by The Dead Pens. Editorial staff is Ryan Abbott, Sean Duffy and Jamie Ross.

This week, a special road trip episode featuring Salt Lake City, Utah based progressive bluegrass explorers Pixie and The Partygrass Boys recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. Also, a bonus first main stage performance by original Walnut Valley campground jam band Sally & The Hurts. 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. Pixie and The Partygrass Boys may be far from their humble beginnings but they still don't take themselves too seriously. What began as a group of ski bums playing house parties in the Cottonwood Canyons of Salt Lake City has evolved into a nationally touring band that always aims to have the most fun possible. The band is Katia "Pixie" Racine on vocals & ukulele, Amanda B. Grapes on fiddle & vocals, Zach Downes on upright bass, Ben Weiss on mandolin & vocals, and Andrew Nelson on guitar & vocals. Pixie and The Partygrass Boys create a uniquely American sound that can turn the room into a ruckus but offers a full variety of other dynamics as well - approaching bluegrass/folk with a classical and jazz background while incorporating elements of broadway and pop-punk. They have captivated audiences across the nation with their unique blend of heartfelt songwriting, high velocity instrumental excellence, silly outfits, and sing-along anthems. Pixie and The Partygrass Boys invite the audience into their world every time they take the stage, hoping to share a piece of the magic they've found on the mountain tops and in the desert canyons of their Utah home. - https://www.pixieandthepartygrassboys.com/band In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1984 archival recording of Ozark originals Janis Dooley & Pam Sanders performing a cappella the song “No Mortal as Happy as I,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins begins a three part series on the surprisingly violent history of tornadoes in the Ozark region.

When consumers can get AI-generated designs completely customized to their needs, what does this mean for the future of brands and the customer experience? I have two guests on my show today: one is the founder of one of the world's most iconic shoe brands, and the other is the co-creator of the first AI-designed commercial shoe.

It's time for Episode 7 of Roots Music Rambler! Join us – hosts Francesca Folinazzo, who Jason calls “Frank,” and Jason Falls, who goes by “Falls” most of the time, as we explore the real roots of the music we love. On this episode, Ben Weiss of the Utah-based bluegrass group Pixie & The Partygrass Boys joins Frank and Falls to talk about perhaps the best bluegrass cover album of all time. The Chicken Coop, Vol. 1 is and 11-track toe-tapper that puts a guitar-mandolin-banjo-fiddle spin on everything from “Gimmie Shelter” by the Rolling Stones to The Talking Heads' “Psycho Killer.” Intentionally silly and fun, Pixie & The Partygrass Boys took their bars and weddings gigs and jazz backgrounds and flipped them into a novel, but serious musical take on bluegrass music. In fact, they have a new album on the horizon that isn't as cover and gimmick-driven. Weiss, who plays mandolin and provides some vocals for the band, joined the show on the eve of a Pacific Northwest jaunt for the group. He talked about the background of the band, their treatment of a recent version of The Nutcracker and the commonalities in jazz and bluegrass. Frank and Falls also spent time lamenting the TikTok-ificiation of Americana music shows and concerts, from tickets to crowds, and Falls shared his experiences watching Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie with his daughter at a Drive-In Theatre. (And stick around for the outtakes as he almost embarasses a former teacher!)

Ben Weiss has significantly impacted the cryptocurrency space not once, but twice. A bona fide crypto thought leader (there are a lot of crypto charlatans out there), Ben has led a company that has exceeded $1B in transaction volume and also gets deep into the weeds of cryptocurrency regulation. Oh, and Ernst & Young recently named him an Entrepreneur of the Year. Join Jim and Ben as they explore Ben's wild ride from dorm room to Bitcoin ATMs to dreams of connecting with a billion crypto users. 3 Key TakeawaysSimplify, Simplify, Simplify: Committing to making your product as easy-to-use as humanly possible will set you apart from competitors. Prioritize simplicity, intuitiveness, and a smooth user experience throughout every aspect of your product.Know Yourself: Building a business is a roller coaster ride. We can—like many business owners—lose our identities by intertwining them with our careers. Our personal worth shouldn't be so closely tied to the success of a business.Explain the Why: You hire executives to do a job. They're better than you at it (or you have a problem), so let them take care of the “how.” But for them to be most effective, they need to know the “why” in all that they do—that's your job as the leader!

Together, we relax and celebrate the 12th anniversary of The Permaculture Podcast with Scott Mann. Erin Harvey, and I met one another and became friends in 2010 when we took our Permaculture Design Course with Ben Weiss and Dillon Naber Cruz in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After graduating, Erin returned to Ohio to begin her own farm, The Kale Yard. Erin was one of the first guest on the show, back in early 2013, when we talked about how she started The Kale Yard. If you haven't heard that, you'll find a link to that interview in the show notes. Today, we talk about how life has changed over the last decade, including The Kale Yard transitioning from a Market Garden to a nursery business, and Erin's current role as a farmers market manager and what that means for both her, the farmers, and the community they serve. We also spend some time on her interest in propagating figs and other plants; the role of a hoop house and greenhouse on her farm; and what Erin sees in her future.

Ben Weiss saw the potential of crypto as an equalizing asset, but he also saw that the people who understood who to access it might be the ones to benefit the least. So, he decided to create a solution that his own mother could use and feel confident- a crypto kiosk. Ben realized that by creating creating a physical device, he could bridge the gap and take crypto to broader communities. And he has. We talked to Ben Weiss about the nature of crypto as the wild west, and why his idea on physicalizing the crypto buying experience is helping to settle crypto.

The asteroid Psyche is probably the most metal-rich body we have discovered. There are two, quite different, theories as to how it may have formed: Either it formed that way, or it originally had a more typical composition, but its rocky outer portion was blasted off during a major collision. To help determine which is most likely, NASA is sending a space probe there, to be launched on August 1, 2022. And if we can unravel the history of Psyche, we will also learn how other planets may have formed, since both the asteroids and the planets are thought to have been assembled from the same population of planetesimals – the small bodies that first formed out of the solar nebula. We might also learn about the Earth's own metallic core, since, according to the second theory, Psyche may be a naked core. Ben Weiss is Deputy Principal Investigator and Magnetometry Investigation Lead on the Psyche mission. He is a Professor of Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the formation, evolution, and history of the terrestrial planets and small bodies. He is especially interested in paleomagnetism and geomagnetism. In the podcast, he explains the various formation scenarios for Psyche. He then describes the various instruments on board the spacecraft and what we will be able to infer from the measurements they will make when orbiting the asteroid.

This includes how they came to sustainable agriculture; the dream projects they're working on; how their ancestral and cultural history impacts their work and thought processes; and close by taking questions from the students assembled for the ecological design course. Donate Online to the Spring Fundraiser I'd like to thank Ben and Robyn for inviting the podcast to join them for the day so we could share this with you, and to “Photographer John” Staley for making the trip, as I was unable to attend. I love the shared story of these three presenters speaking around these common questions, and why I like to include conversations like these, and the others over the years on the show. Together, a multitude of voices address the same series of inquiries. Though any moment, given question or particular response, leads to greater reflection, the one that stays with me leaving this interview regards the inquiry into one's ancestral history and how that impacts our work and view of the world. As the descendant of Appalachian Hillbillies and a 19th-century German immigrant, I often find myself considering the ways that familial culture brought me to where I am today. How stories of growing up poor in West Virginia lead my mother's family to focus on people. Often folks I did not know, and remain unsure if we were related by blood or by marriage, we called family. Anyone who would join us for a meal was free to eat with us. From those roots how came to care about individuals and the community we create. One immigrant, my great-great-grandfather Mann arrived in the second half of the 1800s, where came to Pennsylvania and fought in the American Civil War, before settling with an American wife in southern Maryland to farm. They taught his son how to farm, who then taught my grandfather, who taught my father. Though I did not grow up on the land, as my family no-longer farmed by the 1980s, the soil still ran through me, as we planted seeds. Dug in the ground. Planted trees in the yard with my father on Arbor day so that by the time I was a teenager there was the shade to sit under, even if branches lacked the height to climb. I've carried those times, those stories of past generations, and experiences for my entire life and see them all as leading me directly to this path of creating The Permaculture Podcast, and retaining a love of Earth, people, and to share the bounty of life. Do you have any stories like these which lead you to your journey? I'd love to hear from you.

While there I recorded two in-person interviews, a full-length conversation with Jereme Zimmerman about his new book Brew Beer Like a Yeti, which is the 8th-anniversary release out on October 10th. Cyndi Ball of National Ladies Homestead Gathering also took a few minutes to catch up with me as a follow-up to our video interview last year. I've included that conversation with Cyndi at the end of this episode. (This post contains affiliate link(s). Thank you for your support.) I always enjoy going to Mother Earth News Fair and other conferences as a chance to catch up with the various folks I've gotten to know over the years, to continue to strengthen and grow existing relationships and start new ones. While at the fair this year I had a chance to talk with Sean and Michael of Chelsea Green Publishing about the upcoming catalog and what to expect in Spring 2019. One of those is a book by Emmet van Dreische who runs a Christmas Tree Farm where he coppices the trees rather than the traditional cut/stump/replant. This is something nearly unheard of among the softwoods used for Christmas trees. Emmet also, as I understand, is working on doing a non-familial transfer of a farm, all while carving spoons and raising a family. I reached out to Emmet via Instagram and we have an interview scheduled for this week. Another interview on the docket is with Lindsey Bender, the mycologist for Field and Forest Products. If you're not familiar with Field and Forest they are one of my favorite mushroom companies, in general, and also of my favorite companies on earth, in particular, due to their outstanding customer service. Lindsey, her co-worker Laura, and I spent the weekend talking mushrooms, life in the midwest, and generally nerding out about all the cools things happening in the world of mycology. As a research scientist with a background in microbiology, Lindsey brings a lot to the table that I've not encountered elsewhere when talking to people who work with mushrooms. That day I learned a lot, and an interview with Lindsey should be illuminating for anyone interested in the Kingdom Fungi. Moving away from interviews I also saw Jessi Bloom and we checked in about her new book, Creating Sanctuary, which is off to the printers. We're planning a follow-up to continue to explore the ways we can heal ourselves and help others, through the lens of the personal and public projects she's working on. I also saw Sara Bir and Victoria Redhed Miller, of The Fruit Forager's Companion and Craft Distilling, respectively. Sara was a delight to hear speak about Paw Paws, which I highly recommend you track her down if she is speaking near you. Victoria had ended her talk when we finally caught up, and she's someone you should see in person if you get a chance. When describing my time with Victoria to a friend after the show my friend commented, “She sounds like the Jane Goodall of baking and distilling.” I think my friend was right. Victoria's passion for these subjects came through in every moment I spent with her. At any large expo like this, you can also expect many vendors. One of those that I ran into was Susquehanna Sustainable Enterprises and Rebel Garden Tools, both run by my friend and PDC instructor Ben Weiss. I spent time with him and his partner Ella as they staffed their booth and we caught up on all things permaculture, gardening, and herbal apothecary. I can't speak to the herbal medicine Ben is creating, but I can say that I'm impressed with the line of Wilson designed, locally built garden tools, especially after replacing a made-by-someone-else garden fork and then bending the replacement while working on some projects at Seppi's Place. The tools Wilson and Ben offer are heavy duty, hard-working, and with an artisanal-industrial look which appeals to my inner metal-head. For my own use, along with a grub hoe I already own, three tools I would add to my collection in a heartbeat are the magna grecia (a two-tine pick/mattock), tusk spade/axe (my personal favorite), and the 5 Tine Mini Fork with T-Handle. Though some might prefer a broad fork to the mini fork, these particular tools form a well rounded, go-anywhere kit for the gardener, forager, or forest farmer. Ben talked with me about offering some discount codes to both of his companies for Permaculture Podcast listeners. You'll find those, and other discounts and opportunities, such as classes with The Permaculture Women's guild, on the podcast affiliates page at https://www.thepermaculturepodcast.com/affiliates. Overall this was another great Mother Earth News Fair if a bit smaller than past years. I look forward to seeing what the fair holds in 2019. You can see pictures from the weekend at https://www.instagram.com/permaculturepodcast As mentioned in the opening, last year at the fair I spoke with Cyndi Ball of National Ladies Homestead Gathering. Returning to the 2018 fair, we sat down and recorded this short conversation to discuss where the organization went in the preceding year, and what their plans are for the future.

As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his book Strength to Love, “We are not makers of history; we are made by history.” With that in mind, in the conversation that follows Maddy Harland provides a 25 year retrospective on permaculture as viewed through her role as the longtime editor of Permaculture Magazine, which has been encapsulated in her new book Fertile Edges. Find out more about Maddy Harland and the magazine at permaculturemagazine.co.uk. You can order a copy of her book, Fertile Edges, from PermanentPublications.co.uk if you are in the United Kingdom, or ChelseaGreen.com if you are in the United States.

Also be sure to follow them on Instagram @northsporemushrooms for great mushroom growing tips and advice. -- I enjoyed my time with Maddy because of her long history in the permaculture movement and getting to hear, directly, about her role as a curator of so much useful information for our community. Permaculture continues to exist and grow because of her efforts and the team at Permaculture Magazine. Generations of permaculture practitioners came to the movement by picking up a copy at the newsstand. That includes me. Though I found permaculture in the 90s when I started exploring sustainability, primitive skills, and rewilding in the mid-2000s an issue of Permaculture Magazine was in a stack of periodicals gifted to me so that I could see what was happening in the world. That inspired me to continue my search for a Permaculture Design Course, and lead me to Susquehanna Permaculture, Ben Weiss, and Dillon Cruz. At the end of that class, I started this show. Simply put, this podcast exists because of Maddy's work with the magazine; editing so many great books, like the ones from Patrick Whitefield; and co-founding Permanent Publications that made those books available to the world. Her work provides me and other permaculture podcasters, video producers, bloggers, and authors -- those members of our community who were often not part of those first or second waves of permaculture education and outreach -- with a foundation to search out the voices, farms, designers, and scientists to expand and push the edges of permaculture. Maddy continues that legacy of curation and inspiration with Fertile Edges, a collection of her wisdom that provides a view into the past, present, and future of Permaculture. If you are new to movement or were one of Bill Mollison's first students, this is something well worth having.

My guest today is Jerome Osentowski, founder of Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute, a long time permaculture practitioners and teacher, and author of the new book The Forest Garden Greenhouse, available from Chelsea Green Publishing. During the conversation today, we talk about his many years building and consulting on the construction of greenhouses. At his site in Basalt, Colorado, this includes creating local greenhouse environments that allows the growing of citrus, and to hold temperatures at a minimum temperature of 55 degrees year round. As a permaculture practitioner this stems from multiple systems, but one active method that Jerome has developed is his climate battery, the principles and functions of which he shares with us, and further details of which are in his book. Whether you have an interest in gardening, greenhouses, or appropriate technology, you'll enjoy hearing Jerome share his experiences and knowledge. You can find out more about him, his work, and book at the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture website, CRMPI.org. As I mentioned during this conversation, I owe a lot of my permaculture education to what Jerome and the team at CRMPI have done over the years because that is where, as I remember, Ben Weiss trained before teaching me. If you are looking for a Permaculture Design Course or to study professional practices, you'd be hard pressed not to study there if you can make it. As part of the work for this show, as I said to Jerome, I'm interested in visiting sometime to learn more, we'll see what happens with that. For anyone interested in starting a small business, whether permaculture or otherwise, there is something to be said for the ongoing adaption and stick-to-it-iveness that Jerome and CRMPI have gone through over the years to keep operating. Rebuilding the greenhouse after losing it in the fire. Operating multiple businesses to provide financial income and redundancy. Trying different things to see what works. What fits for that environment, physically, socially, and metaphorically. I also like that he is planning for the succession of CRMPI and the other businesses, so that this work can go on. Not just for another season, or another month, but for decades to come. A reminder to think long term, beyond our own lives and to flourishing future generations. If there is any way I can help you to explore the possibilities of your local community, to prepare for a bountiful future, or to grow your business or permaculture practice, get in touch.
