“In a world where our wildlife is becoming extinct at a frightening rate, we are setting up an oasis where animals, wild flowers and even ancient fungi can thrive.” Charlie Bennett writing of Middleton North Farm. It's clear to most of us that the existing food and farming system is unsustainable.  What's less clear is what to do about it, particularly when the behemoths of the industry put so much time, effort and money into propaganda which suggests we can't feed humanity unless we keep doubling down on the industrial systems that are destroying our soils, our watercourses and our health.  Given this toxic mix of misinformation, government bureaucracy and algorithms engineered to keep us at each others' throats, it's not surprising the waters are muddied. And yet the signposts are out there and brave pioneers across the continents are working to find ways to feed people healthy, nutritious food at prices they can afford while also building soil, increasing water uptake —which is another way of saying we're reducing flooding— and returning life to the land. One of these glorious pioneers is Charlie Bennett of Middleton North farm in Northumbria. I came across Charlie  in the closing days of 2024 when I read his first book 'Down the Rabbit Hole' and promptly bought copies to give to all my friends. HIs writing was at once lyrical and grounded in a reality I recognised—and he was writing about regenerative farming, except he called it 'Common Sense Farming'.  I wrote to him then, and we've corresponded ever since and now he's this week's guest on the podcast. Charlie Bennett is a farmer, writer, and passionate advocate for the countryside. He is joint owner of the Middleton North estate near Morpeth, Northumberland, in North East England. Here, he and his wife Charlotte work to support existing wildlife and attract new species alongside sustainable stock farming designed to add to the diversity of wildlife in the area. Trigger Warning: Charlie and I share a passion for the land and a deep sense of connectedness to the more than human world. We both live in a reality where humans (sometimes) eat meat so if discussions of the reality of this might be difficult for you, please skip past those bits. Otherwise, please do enjoy this exploration of how we can share our world differently with the Web of Life.

Dr. Rober Shiepe is an independent UFO researcher based out of Marina Del Ray, California. It was about 20-years ago when he started capturing strange objects that looked like what he calls 'dragonflies' around helicopters and airplanes flying over, especially military aircraft. He's seen these objects, which he projects to be less than a foot long, through his cameras that he monitors daily.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

In this heartwarming episode of Reading with Your Kids, we dive into three incredible children's books that prove literature can be a powerful tool for understanding complex emotions and important social issues. First, we meet Sarah McLean, author of "Leah is a Dragonfly," a touching story inspired by her real-life friend's journey through loss. This beautiful picture book explores grief, transformation, and the enduring power of memory, showing children that love continues even after someone passes away. Sarah's personal connection to the story adds depth and authenticity that will resonate with young readers and their families. Next, Jan Zauzmer takes on the timely topic of book banning with her clever picture book "Down with Lime Books." Using a playful metaphor, Jan tackles a serious issue, encouraging children to think critically about freedom of expression and the importance of diverse perspectives. Her approach demonstrates how children's literature can address complex social topics in an accessible, engaging way. Rounding out the episode is Tara Lala, a 21-year-old author of "Luella's Library," who tackles the challenge of screen time and digital distraction. Her book invites children to rediscover the magic of reading and imagination, offering a refreshing alternative to constant device use. What makes these books special is their ability to transform difficult conversations into compelling narratives that children can understand and enjoy. Whether discussing grief, intellectual freedom, or the value of reading, these authors prove that children's literature is about more than entertainment—it's about connection, understanding, and growth. Parents looking to spark meaningful conversations with their kids will find these books invaluable. They offer gentle, creative approaches to discussing tough topics, proving that the right story can open hearts, minds, and important dialogues. So grab a book, cuddle up with your kids, and get ready to explore worlds of imagination, empathy, and understanding.

Welcome back to the podcast, I'm Jamie Baynes. This episode's guest is Mindy Applewhite. Mindy's daughter, Dr. Lindsey Grizzard Braun was killed in an automobile accident in July, 2023. Since that horrible day, Mindy and her family have tried to cope with Lindsey's loss, and as you'll hear in our conversation, she's still trying to figure out how to go forward with her life. This episode isn't going to be easy to listen to, especially for parents, but Mindy is her daughter's biggest advocate and I'm honored to have her as a guest. I hope that none of us will ever have to suffer through the loss of a child. To me, and I imagine to most parents, that loss would be unimaginable. To even think about it is just not real. But Mindy and her family have been living with this for nearly two years. I want to thank Mindy for talking about Lindsey's life and death, and I hope that listening to her will help anyone living through similar grief, get through each day, one step at a time.Until next time, take care of one another, tell your kids you love them, and as always, thanks for listening.

Upon spotting the green dragonfly resting close enough for me to capture, I knew I had to try. With my kayak nestled into the grassy bank of the Namekagon River, I snapped a few photos of my target and began to reach my hand out slowly. But when my fingers gently grasped the dragonfly, I was horrified to find that it was squishy rather than the typical hard feeling of an exoskeleton. My hand shot back to my side in an instant, repulsed. My first thought was that the dragonfly was dead and waterlogged.

Sometimes something happens that dictates what you introduce to your children or grandchildren. Don and I sat on the balcony to enjoy the fall sunshine one afternoon. Right there on the deck was a perfectly preserved dragonfly. These happen to be my FAVORITE insect, next to the Cat Spider, which isn't an insect. LOL A few days later, while I was walking to the car, there on the sidewalk, in plain sight, was a magnificent and dead katydid. Eureka, what an amazing find!!! You don't see them often. I planned on introducing my grands to these two fascinating insects. Join me as I share the fun experience we had and discover the outcome fourteen years later. : )

In this deeply personal (and dragonfly-surrounded!) episode of Aphantasia Experiments, Robin takes you on a breezy walk through the tangled threads of connective tissue disorders, hypermobility, media distortion, and the power of consciousness.From a painful rib injury that revealed a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to reflections on how a bendy body can also impact visualization, Robin explores how everything — our health, our perception, our media, and our collective understanding — is intricately connected.She dives into topics like aphantasia, MCAS, the Beighton score, hormonal changes, telepathy tapes, and how unchecked media narratives (hello Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively) shape not only public opinion but even our careers and culture.If you've ever felt like your body didn't follow the same rules as others', or that the world around you is feeding you a version of truth that doesn't sit right, this episode is for you. Raw, unfiltered, and full of insight — it's time to rethink connection.

During the week of June 17, 2025, we examine dragonflies, strawberries, and the Pennington Bog. Staff phenologist John Latimer responds.

"At the funeral, when I invoked the name Jesus, out of nowhere, came this huge wind, I thought the tent was about to blow over. And people were using their cell phones to video something behind me." ---------- When Leah agreed to preside at the funeral of her long-time friend's mother, she made it clear—she would be invoking the name of Jesus. Her friend, long angry at God and resistant to faith, agreed… reluctantly. What unfolded next was anything but ordinary. Penny, the woman who had passed, had always surrounded herself with images of dragonflies. At the funeral, safe to say that this large insect gave a loud spiritual hello to those in attendance. And when Leah spoke the name “Jesus” for the first time, a sudden, forceful wind nearly blew down the tent. Was this nature, or something supernatural? This episode explores how God meets us where we are, how signs can be unmistakable, and how He uses even funerals to soften hardened hearts and open spiritual eyes. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

Dragonflies, with their iridescent wings and swift, agile flight, are among nature's most captivating insects. These ancient creatures have inhabited Earth for over 300 million years, predating even the dinosaurs. Today, they are found on every continent except Antarctica, thriving The post North Georgia & Jasper Has Dragonflies first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Happy Spring Equinox! To welcome Spring – especially this exact Spring in the US - practicing re-enchantment in our world seemed exactly the right focus. I think this is part of what Gardeners do: practice enchantment or love with the natural world we care for. We're in conversation this week with Brooke Williams: writer, naturalist, amateur conservation ecologist, thinker, observer, and walker. Based in the Great Salt Lake region of Utah with his wife, acclaimed writer Terry Tempest Williams, Brooke writes about evolution, consciousness, and his own adventures exploring both the inner and outer wilderness in our world. He is also a Gardener, and author most recently of Encountering Dragonfly, Notes on the Practice of Re-Enchantment. Dragonflies are of course among our favorite and most enchanting of companions in the garden – our built-in pest control for other insects such as mosquitos; predators who are not themselves pests in our lives. Squadrons of dragonflies patrolling the garden or wild lands in Summer are symbols everywhere of transformation and balance. For the ecological and symbolic importance of dragonflies to our human lives, I am so pleased to welcome Brooke to Cultivating Place. Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Mercury is a toxic chemical that can have devastating effects when it gets into our waterways. That's why scientists have been working on a new way to measure contamination levels using baby dragonflies.

When we see a dragonfly, we normally see adults, which are capable of impressive aerobatics and have astonishing eyesight. Yet these fearsome aerial predators began life underwater, and when they undergo the transformation from nymph to adult they also change from water to air. Dragonflies truly are amazing! Joining us to talk about these incredible animals is Dr. Jessica Ware from the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where she is an Associate Curator and the current Division Chair in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology. Jessica's research focuses on the evolution of behavioral and physiological adaptations in insects, with an emphasis on how these occur in dragonflies and their close relatives, damselflies. Her research group uses genetics to study the evolutionary relationships between species and uses these tools to inform their work on reproductive, social, and flight behaviors in insects.Thank you for listening!
