Stern Pinball's new game, Dungeons and Dragons The Tyrant's Eye, is here and we have Brian Eddy (Game Designer) along with Dwight Sullivan (Lead Coder) to walk us through this new pinball adventure!

Brian Eddy joins the show today. He's a retired Colonel in the United States Air Force and the Founder and President of BondFire Ranch, a non-profit with the mission of warming the hearts of families, especially military and first responders. Brian served for 28-years in the Air Force, including a pair of assignments at Dover Air Force Base, his last assignment as the Commander of the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations. He's been a part of ensuring our fallen heroes received the dignified transfer they deserve, a heavy job, to be sure. Through that he realized he needed to address mental health in his life, and with that the BondFire Ranch was born. Let's meet Brian on this episode of PICK UP THE SIX Podcast.

Christopher Franchi and Christian Line welcome Brian Eddy and Dwight Sullivan to the show, to discuss the making of Stern's Mandalorian pinball.  Plus a chance to win a team signed Mandalorian translight!!

In this episode of the podcast I discuss Stern Pinball's Mandalorian as Mandalorian Mania has swept across the pinball online community. Rumors are swirling everywhere about what we could see out of this pin designed by Brian Eddy. We discuss whether or not this pinball machine can actually meet the expectations that have been created by the pinball community before the public has seen pictures of this machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YouTube Channel ► https://www.youtube.com/marvloco IFPA Profile ► https://www.ifpapinball.com/player.php?p=56861 Contact ► APinballPodcast@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor ► https://www.flipnoutpinball.com/

In today's show, I talk with Laura Haight, U.S. Policy Director at the Partnership for Policy Integrity, or PFPI. PFPI uses science, policy analysis and strategic communications to promote policies that protect climate, ecosystems, and people. From the PFPI website: Laura Haight has extensive experience working on environmental, energy, and health care policy, and has been instrumental in passage of dozens of state and local laws to promote clean energy, reduce pesticide use, increase recycling, prevent pollution, and clean up toxic waste sites. Starting her career as a community organizer with the Sierra Club Radioactive Waste Campaign, she has held senior level positions at the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Environmental Advocates of New York, and the New York Public Interest Research Group. Prior to joining the staff of PFPI, Haight served as Vice President for Public Policy at the New York State Association of Health Care Providers. She brings to PFPI a wealth of experience in environmental advocacy, policy analysis, campaign coordination and strategic communications. Haight received a Bachelor’s degree in American history and literature from Harvard University and a Master of Science degree in environmental studies from the Bard Graduate School of Environmental Studies. Laura is knowledgeable about so many environmental issues around the world. Today, we discussed the biomass industry, its destructive practices, and the government regulations that encourage it. We discussed: the biomass industry, and especially the forest biomass industry, which not only clearcuts forests, but basically vacuums up all the material leaving a virtual moonscape behind. We also discussed legislation in Massachusetts called the Next Generation Climate Roadmap bill. This bill was vetoed last week by Governor Baker, apparently because it calls for more stringent green building codes that the construction industry opposes. But it has already been refiled. Changes proposed by the Baker Administration to MA Dept. of Energy Resources regulations would make biomass "renewable" and consider it “green power” and open it up for lucrative subsidies that will make biomass plants profitable, and encourage their construction. The proposed Palmer biomass burning plant in Springfield, MA. This plant is being opposed by residents and organizations alike for environment justice and pollution threats.

Welcome to Audible Café! Today’s show features Rosemary Wessel, Program Director of No Fracked Gas in Mass, a program of the Berkshire Environmental Action Team, or BEAT. No Fracked Gas in Mass started as a passion project originally created by Rose and others to stop the now-defeated Kinder Morgan Northeast Energy Direct pipeline, a huge fracked gas pipeline project that would have brought fracked gas from Pennsylvania across New York, the full length of Massachusetts, up to New England, and eventually out for export. Rose and her team at No Fracked Gas in Mass continue to work to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in the Northeast states and to promote energy efficiency and sustainable, renewable sources of energy and local, permanent jobs in a clean energy economy.  We talked about a new initiative to shut down the obsolete and polluting “peaker plants” in Pittsfield, MA, as the first step a regional effort to do the same across New England. Peaker plants provide energy in those rare times when demand exceeds the usually steady supply of power available to people. As you will learn, there are other, cleaner and sustainable sources of power for those high-demand hours that are usually experienced during heat waves and similar situations. After my interview with Rose, I also discuss another tar sands pipeline being constructed by Enbridge out in northern Minnesota that rivals the Dakota Access Pipeline that brought so much pain and conflict to indigenous people out there. So here it’s happening again. I’m hoping to bring you interviews from the front lines of that opposition next week, but meanwhile, construction has begun on the pipeline known as Line 3 after 7 years of opposition, while lawsuits are pending in court.  Construction began in December after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration signed off on final water permits in November. The pipeline is planned to cross Anishinaabe treaty lands, and threatens clean water at 21 water crossings where the company will use horizontal drilling techniques to bore under streams, rivers, and lakes, including the Mississippi River and dozens of its tributaries. Line 3 would cross two “Restricted Outstanding Resource Value Waters,” according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).  However, there is a great divide within at least on of the agencies: twelve out of 17 members of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)’s Environmental Justice Advisory Group resigned in protest over the agency’s decision to bestow river crossing permits on Enbridge. They wrote in a letter to MPCA Commissioner Laura Bishop that “we cannot continue to legitimize and provide cover for the MPCA’s war on Black and brown people.” The people who will suffer most from this project are, once again, indigenous people from the Red Lake Band of Chippewa and the White Earth Band of Ojibwe. Together with the Sierra Club and the Indigenous environmental group Honor the Earth, the tribes have brought suit against Enbridge. This is a devastatingly destructive project on numerous levels, and as the most recent of the wide and lasting legacy of Trump’s four years of environmental abuses, it’s more than worthy of strong opposition. So stay tuned for more on that, but in the meantime, you can visit: welcomewaterprotectors.com Honor the Earth Thanks for listening to Audible Café. See you next week!

In the first podcast appearance of his career, Brian Eddy talks about his past and his recent return to pinball.

Welcome to the Audible Café Podcast! Today, my guest is Mike Mease, Campaign Coordinator and Co-Founder of the Buffalo Field Campaign. The Buffalo Field Campaign is the only group working both in the field and in policy arenas to stop the harassment and slaughter of America’s last truly wild, genetically pure buffalo in America. These buffalo are the direct descendants of the 30 to 60 million buffalo that used to roam continental North America, and their herd currently contains less than 4,000 members. The primary goal of the Buffalo Field Campaign is to create permanent year-round protection for bison and the ecosystem they depend on—including respect for the migratory needs of this long-exploited and clearly endangered species. Mike has been devoted to the cause of the wild buffalo for over 22 years.  The fact that President Obama signed into law the National Bison Legacy Act, which designates the bison as the official mammal of the United States, has done nothing to protect the buffalo! The Act includes a disclaimer that the designation does not change the current management plan that is actually devastating the herd through bad management and what Mike and others aptly call “boxed hunts”.  Buffalo Field Campaign staff and volunteers are in the process of shepherding through the federal court a case for listing the wild buffalo as an endangered species that would give these wonderful animals the protections they need to thrive - that is, so long as the Endangered Species Act thrives - which is another battle we all must join in. Securing Endangered Species Act status is a long haul and the Buffalo Field Campaign team needs your help! They are halfway through an 8-year process for designating this mammal as an endangered species, and what should be a straightforward and swift action is nothing of the kind. With the herd down to less than 4,000 members, this is an urgent call to action. So after you listen to this great interview with Mike Mease of the Buffalo Field Campaign, please visit their website at buffalofieldcampaign,org and please take note of their matching campaign before it ends on November 30th. They are a transparent and hard-working non-profit, and they are one of a kind in the nation - the only ones doing this work on behalf of the herd. So also visit their “Get Involved” page to take action on behalf of the last wild herd of buffalo so dearly in need of our protection. The “About Buffalo” section of the website is truly awesome and full of inspiring information about buffalo. The whole website is great. Thanks again to Mike Mease of Buffalo Field Campaign for taking the time to share his passion for the buffalo and his important work on their behalf.

Welcome to Audible Café, where we get together to talk about nature, wildlife, wilderness, conservation, environmental protection, climate change, and things related. Today, I’m airing my interview with Jennifer Browdy, who is a writer, teacher, editor, and coach. She is deeply committed to opening up conversations in person and online that are relevant to our times, and to helping others find expression through their writing. Memoir is a grassroots sort of genre, inviting anyone and everyone to tease out the significance of the ordinary moments that, day by day, compose a life. Jennifer Browdy Jennifer’s books include “What I Forgot….and Why I Remembered: A Journey to Environmental Awareness and Activism Through Purposeful Memoir”published in 2017, which was a Finalist in Autobiography/Memoir in the 2018 International Book Awards. Jennifer also wrote the companion book for writers of purposeful memoir, which was a winner of a 2017 Nautilus Silver Award for creative process. Prior to that, she was co-editor with Jana Laiz and Sahra Bateson Brubeck of "Writing Fire: An Anthology Celebrating the Power of Women’s Words." All three of these books were published by Green Fire Press, an independent publishing company that Jennifer runs with her business partner, Jana Laiz. Earlier in her career, Jennifer edited two powerful compilations of women writing resistance. Her current project - called “Worldwrights” - a term Jennifer coined - will distill “lessons in life and leadership” from 15 inspiring writer-activists who have used writing to right the world, and who have also written memoirs. I can’t wait for that book to come out, because Jennifer has chosen a number of outstanding leaders from social and environmental justice movements for this project, including former President Barack Obama, Jane Goodall, Eve Ensler, Audre Lorde, Wangari Maathai, Rigoberta Menchu, Malidoma Some, Sandra Steingraber, Terry Tempest Williams, John Perkins, and more. I talked with Jennifer earlier this month while she was still on her summer writing retreat. I appreciate her taking the time to talk with me when that kind of time away from the day-to-day grind is so precious. You can start exploring Jennifer’s writing and find her workshops and more at her website (see below). She’s offering online workshops and coaching for those of you not located near western Massachusetts. Thank you so much for listening to Audible Café!

Welcome to Audible Café, where we spend time together celebrating and learning about the natural world, wildlife, and sustainable living.  In today's episode, I talk with Scott Feierabend, the Executive Director for the International Dark Sky Association based in Tuscon, Arizona. The Dark Sky Association’s mission is to reduce light pollution and its environmental impacts. Scott has an incredible background working for more than 30 years to conserve and restore our natural environment. You can read his resumé here. Now devoted to dark skies, in our conversation Scott shared some great insight into what his organization does, and we talked about the many benefits of dark skies for all species, and the barriers that prevent all of us from fully enjoying those benefits.  Dark skies are full of the light of stars and galaxies! And as human animals, we are innately connected to the dark. If you are not in the habit of spending time outdoors in the dark, please take the time tonight or some night soon to go outside and let your eyes slowly adjust to the dark. You will be amazed at what you can see! Many thanks to Scott Feierabend for a great conversation! And thanks for listening to Audible Cafe!

Hi, and welcome to Audible Café, where we spend time together each week to explore the natural world, wildlife, sustainable living, and climate change. Today, I’m sharing my interview with Leni Fried and Mike Augspurger, who founded the Old Stone Mill Center for Arts and Creative Engineering in Adams, MA. Also featured is Rosemary Wessel of No Fracked Gas in Mass renown, who is the Mill's green energy consultant and a founding volunteer. The Old Stone Mill Center for Arts and Creative Engineering is just that: a beautiful public space that solves a big problem for many folks, which is not having the equipment, materials, and/or physical space to pursue their creative and engineering projects. The 28,000 sq. ft. building is currently undergoing Phase I of a renovation made possible by a grant from ArtPlace. The Center's founders and volunteers are currently working to: Position the mill as a zero-waste enterprise that also diverts materials from the waste stream – they are collecting lots of things to redistribute throughout the community, to people who need them and to people who want to create new things from old things. They are already diverting (literally) tons of stuff!  Design and build art spaces, an industrial sewing center, and a machine shop with an astounding collection of fully functional, donated equipment and tools available to those who cannot afford to fully outfit their own shops and studios. And what's not functional, Mike can fix! Provide space for community members to come together to learn and experiment in arts and technology. The mill is located at 2A Grove Street (Route 8) in Adams, Massachusetts, right next to the beautiful Hoosic River. MAP Thank you Leni, Mike, and Rosemary! We had a great time chatting at the mill. The Old Stone Mill Center is evolving. Please get in touch with the Mill's team at leni@oldstonemillcenter.org if you'd like to be a part of it!
