Oftentimes, when your local library is putting on a book sale, it's held at the library itself.

Nori Morganstein, Director of the Nahant Public Library, discusses their decision to go digital with this latest book sale, and why it's necessary to part ways with some of these aged books.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest is Dr. Keller Horton, a certified permaculture designer and passionate advocate for sustainable land management. Keller is also a Director for the Newberry Springs Chamber of Commerce.Keller shares his journey: from purchasing his first 40 acres through a serendipitous magazine advertisement to creating a flourishing ecosystem that goes far beyond just pistachios. We learn about his mission to transform arid land into vibrant, productive food forests using permaculture principles—without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Hear about the challenges and rewards of introducing sustainable practices to both longtime farmers and curious community members, and learn how this approach not only nurtures the land but also inspires hope and collaboration across the Newberry Springs community.Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a budding permaculturist, or simply someone interested in how innovative agriculture can rejuvenate the land and build community connections, we continue to celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of Route 66 in Newberry Springs, CA.DISCUSSION00:00 "Pistachio Farming with Keller Horton"05:35 "Mulch: Key to Healthy Soil"08:58 "Permaculture Education and Ecosystems"11:51 "Celebrating the Newberry Springs Community"LEARN MORETo Learn more about Keller and his work, check out his book, Useful Trees and Shrubs in Dryland Permaculture, at https://www.amazon.com/Useful-Trees-Shrubs-Dryland-Permaculture/dp/0692936416To learn more about science and advocacy of permaculture, visit the World Permaculture Association at https://worldpermacultureassociation.com/To learn about Newberry Springs, CA, the Route 66 Big Birthday Bash, the Pistachio Festival, and much more, visit the Newberry Springs Chamber of Commerce at https://newberryspringschamber.com/ or on these social sites:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewberrySpringsChamberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nbsp_chamberofcommerce/The Mother Road e-Newsletter: https://motherroadnewsletter.com/newsletter/NEXT STEPSVisit us at https://outdooradventureseries.com to like, comment, and share our episodes.KEYWORDSKeller Horton, Permaculture, Newberry Springs Chamber of Commerce, Route 66 Centennial, Outdoor Adventure Series, Podcast Interview#KellerHorton #Permaculture #NewberrySpringsChamberofCommerce #Route66Centennial #OutdoorAdventureSeries #PodcastInterviewMy Favorite Podcast Tools: Production by Descript Hosting Buzzsprout Show Notes by Castmagic Website powered by Podpage Be a Podcast Guest by PodMatch Banner Customization by Nano Banana & Canva

This hidden ingredient in junk food is quietly destroying your health. Uncover the harmful food additives and food industry secrets that leave you sick, yet still hungry for more. Learn how these hidden junk food ingredients sabotage your gut health and how you can avoid them starting today.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07This dangerous ingredient in junk food acts as a detergent in your gut. This toxic food additive destroys the protective layer that lines your digestive tract, similar to the way dish soap removes grease from a pan. Once this protective layer is gone, you can develop a leaky gut, allowing toxic food additives, bacteria, and partially digested food into your bloodstream.Harmful food additives are often hiding in ice cream, chocolate, salad dressing, plant-based milk, bread, peanut butter, coffee creamer, mayo, baby formula, and the list goes on! This toxic ingredient is found in 60% of all packaged foods, and goes by names like polysorbate 80, carboxymethylcellulose, and carrageenan. These hidden ingredients in junk food are called emulsifiers. Emulsifiers force oil and water to mix so that the processed food appears smoother or creamy in texture and has a longer shelf life. There is a thick layer of mucus that coats the inside of the intestines, which acts as a built-in protective mechanism for your gut. Emulsifiers dissolve this protective layer over time, allowing bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Your immune system tags them as pathogens, causing an immune reaction and chronic gut inflammation. Gut health directly affects your cognitive function. If you have gut inflammation, you might experience brain fog, sluggishness, and the inability to think clearly after eating. In animal studies, polysorbate 80 caused metabolic syndrome, weight gain, blood sugar problems, and altered gut bacteria. Although no long-term human studies have been published, a human trial published in 2024 found that participants had altered gut microbiomes after just 2 weeks of eating emulsifiers. In the US, food additives can be self-classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Junk food companies do not have to submit long-term human trials to the FDA. The easy solution to this problem is to avoid ultra-processed foods. Instead of focusing on willpower and discipline, avoid buying junk foods altogether.

In a little over a week the 98th Academy Awards will take place in Los Angeles. Many of the categories are looking like a toss up but it will be a shock if the Best Leading Actress goes to anyone other than Jessie Buckley for her devastating performance in Hamnet. Having just won variations of best leading lady at the Critics Choice Awards, the SAG Actor Awards, the BAFTAs, and the Golden Globes, Buckley is on a roll. Earlier in the week, Buckley sat down with guest hosts Taylor Antrim and Marley Marius ahead of today's theatrical release of The Bride! In creating this retelling of the Bride of Frankenstein, Buckley spoke about the challenge of finding her character. “It was such a huge undertaking to really create three individual personalities and metabolize them and have them be in conversation with myself.” The film was also incredibly physical and required that she learn tap and gaga dancing for the role. Buckley had worked previously with Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Lost Daughter, who she described as one of the most important women in her life. “Maggie has a real vision and there's so much intention behind what she's trying to say with her stories and why she's choosing to tell a story at all,” Buckley told The Run-Through, “I think what she asks all of her actors and herself is to ask the question that's gonna challenge you.”With her daughter on the road with her for this press tour, Buckley toggles quickly between “changing a nappy” and putting a red carpet dress on. The combination of being thrust into the spotlight and being a new mother has changed her relationship with fashion. Now working with stylist to the stars Danielle Goldberg, she feels empowered to let herself feel seen in her changing body. “Right at the beginning she was like, I just wanna see you. And I felt like I could breathe for the first time.” Also on the episode, The Run-Through gets an exclusive behind-the-scenes pass at the Rick Owens and Isabel Marant shows. Between getting their makeup done and getting their clothes on, Alex Consani and Mona Touggard chat about how they make time to read despite the chaos that happens backstage. Plus, Rick Owens himself reveals the inspiration by his collection.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Emma Higgins is a Vancouver-based filmmaker who first cut her teeth making music videos. In 2021, she won a Juno for her work with Jessie Reyez on the track No One's In The Room. Now, she's released her feature directorial debut, Sweetness, which follows a 16-year-old girl who kidnaps her rockstar idol in an attempt to “help” him recover from addiction.

You've heard of method actors — performers who fully immerse themselves in a role until a project is complete — but Baz Luhrmann has been called a “method director.” Spectacle is his signature. From the glittering chaos of Moulin Rouge! to the roaring parties of The Great Gatsby, Baz fills every frame with vibrant colour, music and movement. For his new documentary, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, he dives headfirst into the glitter once again, this time to tell the story of his longtime muse, Elvis Presley. The film shows the King of Rock and Roll not as a myth, but as a ferocious live performer full of humanity and power. Baz joins guest host Garvia Bailey to reflect on the bold, anything-goes style that's defined his career, and why he's drawn to cultural icons and big emotional swings.

"The day I decided to quit surfing… it just popped in my head like, 'Huh, nobody just quits surfing. Like if I did, what would happen? Who would I be?'"On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we ponder the question of ‘who would we be without surfing' with our guest for this episode. Jason Borte is one of the true pillars of East Coast surfing — a competitor, storyteller, teacher, and lifelong ambassador of the stoke.  Hailing from Virginia Beach, Jason's journey began with a humbling first session in 1982 and took him all the way to ESA All-Star and ASP East Pro Champion. A Master's-level educator, surf school founder, Hall of Famer, and author of multiple books including Pipe Dreams, Virginia Is for Surfers, and his upcoming memoir How Surfing Ruined My Life, Jason now serves as Director of Surf Coaching at Atlantic Park — home to North America's first Wavegarden Cove surf lagoon — where he continues shaping the future of the sport through coaching, community programs, and youth initiatives.We dig into his transition from 15 years in the classroom to the surf world, new competitive formats at Atlantic Park like the man-on-man "Chlorine Clash," and inclusive youth programs bringing swimming and surfing to underserved kids through partnerships with Pharrell and Adidas. Plus, Jason shares the story behind his books and what led him to step away from the ocean for an entire year.Follow Jason on Instagram @jborte & @howsurfingruinedmylifeAnd you can order his books here: Diangelo PublicationsThe Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Huge Shoutout to Trey Highton for the connection!Music: Artist: The Mountain GoatsSong: This YearAlbum: The Sunset Tree00:00 Guest Introduction04:05 Kelly Slater Mixup05:34 Leaving Teaching Behind06:36 Maker Space Class12:28 Surf Projects Surprise13:49 Surf Camp Curriculum17:07 Atlantic Park Origins18:13 Typhoon Lagoon Break22:16 First Wave Moment24:59 Director Role Daily26:49 Tom Curren Visit31:27 Wave Pool Impacts36:03 New Contest Formats42:10 Community Access Programs45:42 Wave Pools With Purpose46:28 Ebony Beach Club Groms48:03 Mentorship In The Lineup49:08 First Surf In 198251:29 Virginia Beach Pecking Order54:39 Early Contests And Drive58:06 Parents Backing The Dream01:00:52 Facing Kelly And Going Pro01:03:23 OP Sponsorship And Rivalries01:05:26 Bud Tour No Priority Chaos01:12:26 Wes Laine East Coast Icon01:16:59 From Pro To Surf Writer01:21:33 Learning Under Steve Hawk01:25:55 Writing Pipe Dreams01:29:56 Research And Kelly Access01:34:28 Slater Self Awareness01:35:34 Rivalry And Book Sequel01:37:33 Kelly Reviews The Manuscript01:39:35 Press Tour And Career Choices01:43:04 Self Publishing Kooks Guide01:45:36 Virginia Is For Surfers01:51:04 What The Community Revealed01:57:05 Quitting Surfing For A Year02:03:33 Withdrawal Compulsion And Perspective02:08:40 Book Deal And Wrap UpBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

While breaking news about U.S. military action against Iran dominates the headlines, a consequential piece of legislation quietly cleared a major hurdle in Washington. In the early morning hours of March 5th, after a 20-hour marathon markup session, the House Agriculture Committee voted 34-17 to advance the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 — dubbed "Farm Bill 2.0." With the priciest farm programs already locked in through last year's reconciliation bill, what's left may look slimmer on paper. But as TCS President Steve Ellis and Director of Research and Policy Josh Sewell break down, don't let the size fool you.

Vivian Wilson became the talk of Milan Fashion Week when she seductively walked the runway of Demna's debut Gucci show in a floor-length white gown. The 21-year-old model said she was briefed by casting to embody Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Her path to the Gucci runway began with a casting tape filmed in her own driveway. She walked "like a crazy person, like 8 million times" until she had the perfect take. The result? She ended up positioned in the lineup between icons Kate Moss and Mariacarla Boscono. "When I found that out, I was shaking in my boots," she told Chloe Malle, cozy in a Paris hotel room, while recording today's episode of The Run Through. "We did it, though."Before all the fashion week glamour in Paris and Milan, there was a very different life. Wilson spent time studying Japanese at a university in Tokyo, with plans to earn her TEFL certificate and become an ESL teacher. A Teen Vogue cover changed everything. "It completely transformed my career," she said. Now she's in Paris, doing the model thing — castings every hour, NDAs on NDAs — and entirely at peace with the pivot. "I wanna see how big I can get,” she said. “We're just locking the fuck in."The conversation took a more serious turn when Malle raised the question of whether models look markedly thinner this season than even five years ago. Wilson didn't hesitate. "It's the Ozempic apocalypse, girl. I am so fucking over this." Off the catwalk, she reads gay fantasy fiction and has a passion for Excel spreadsheets. She is trans, a John Oliver devotee, and has genuine ambitions in voice acting. Her three wishes are to appear in Vogue, attend the Met Gala, and walk for Schiaparelli. She left the hotel room with a piece of the chocolate Eiffel Tower, having resolved to break off a piece from the middle so as "not to compromise its structural integrity."Also in the episode, Vogue editors share thoughts from the Balmain, Dries Van Noten and Saint Laurent shows at Paris Fashion Week.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

What is the cost of speaking out against Christian nationalism? In 2024, Rob Reiner came on the podcast to talk about a film he produced, called "God & Country." In this episode from our archives, Amanda Tyler talks with Reiner and Dan Partland, the director of the film. "God & Country" discusses the dangers of Christian nationalism to the country, to the faith, and to pluralism.  This program originally aired January 18, 2024 SHOW NOTES Segment 1 (starting at 02:22): Rob Reiner and Dan Partland on Christian nationalism Released in February 2024, "God & Country" is available to watch on several streaming platforms.

On Episode 43 of Y'all… Listen Here, Barbie Bassett and Therese Apel dive into a conversation that hits close to home for many people who have ever been part of a church community. Churches are made up of people, and people are imperfect. So what happens when those imperfections show up inside an organization that is supposed to reflect grace, faith, and unity? Today's guest, Gary Maze, Director of Church Relations at French Camp Academy, joins the conversation to unpack the realities of human behavior inside church life. Together, they explore why conflict, misunderstanding, and broken expectations often surface in faith communities, how those dynamics impact the health of a church organization, and what it really means to pursue grace in the middle of imperfect situations. This honest and thoughtful discussion looks at the tension between the ideals of the church and the realities of human nature. Whether you have spent decades in church leadership, attend every Sunday, or have stepped away because of hurt, this episode offers insight, perspective, and a reminder that faith communities are ultimately made up of people still learning how to love, forgive, and grow.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. David Allison, Director of the USDA Children's Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they examine what it takes to build public trust in nutrition and longevity science, and why clear, reproducible evidence matters more than ever. David highlights how public perception and scientific rigor can drift apart, especially in fields crowded with strong opinions and shifting trends.David shares sharp insights on weight management, challenging the idea that slow and steady always wins. He explains the “dentistry model” of weight loss, where maintenance matters more than one-time fixes, and explores why most people regain weight without ongoing support. The discussion cuts through assumptions about exercise, protein, and processed foods, showing where animal research aligns, or fails to align, with human studies.Throughout, David pushes for honest communication and transparency in science. He urges listeners to question hype, look past nutrition fads, and recognize the real limits of current evidence. The episode offers practical wisdom for anyone who wants to approach health, nutrition, and longevity with both curiosity and caution. Guest-at-a-Glance

In this episode of The Other Side of Campus, hosts Jen Moon and Katie Dawson speak with Charles Di Piazza from the UT School of Architecture about his Rural Architecture Studio course. Charles takes students to Terlingua, near Big Bend National Park, where they work alongside local partners to explore sustainable design rooted in place.From earthen construction and compressed earth blocks to the design of potential teacher housing for the local school district, the studio invites students to connect ideas with material practice. Along the way, they learn how environmental constraints, traditional building knowledge, and community collaboration can shape better architecture.Professor Di Piazza describes the project as an “experiment in reciprocity,” where knowledge flows in both directions between the university and rural Texas communities. The result is a powerful model for experiential learning, sustainable design, and meaningful engagement beyond campus.The Fall 2025 class description...Earthen Grounds: Graduate Studio in West TexasIn partnership with Bob Estrin, Director of the School of Constructive Arts (SCA) in Alpine, Charles Di Piazza leads this new graduate design studio, building on the work in Marathon, Texas. Earthen Grounds brings Di Piazza's interest in vernacular architecture, massive construction, and courtyard housing and combines it with Estrin's focus on regenerative design and hands-on building practices.The studio asks students to envision new models of sustainable housing and walkable communities for dryland environments. Beginning with the study of precedents spanning nearly 9,000 years, students will explore the fundamental relationships between people, climate, space, and place before applying their research to a site in the Chihuahuan Desert near SCA. The class includes a trip to Big Bend to participate in an earthen construction workshop on the SCA campus.The studio's research and proposals aim to generate ideas for affordable housing in the Big Bend region and beyond. This work is supported by a grant from the Still Water Foundation, whose generosity makes this collaboration possible.CreditsHosts: Jen Moon & Katie DawsonMusic by various artists: "Arizona Moon" by Blue Dot Sessions, "Lyanetha" by John Bartmann, "Help Me" by Eme HacheTheme track: "Soul Sync" by KetsaExecutive Producer: Michelle Daniel
