The Bear Demon This listener submission episode starts with Katrina from Alaska, who in December 2019 made the questionable decision to attempt summoning Paimon, one of the nine kings of hell. What followed were months of unsettling experiences—shadowy creatures darting between trees, an overwhelming sense of dread, and two disturbing encounters in the woods that left her disoriented and injured. Next, we hear from David in Wisconsin, who woke at 2:30am to the sound of rustling like a plastic bag in the wind, followed by an overwhelming wave of fear and the mental image of a beast snapping its jaws at him while he lay frozen in bed. Our final and longest story comes from longtime listener Hex, whose Massachusetts home has been a hotbed of paranormal activity since sixth grade. We discuss multiple encounters experienced by Hex and their family, including the mysterious "Farmer" ghost in yellow plaid and overalls who appears in the backyard, unexplained boot stomping that echoes through the house during sleepovers, and perhaps most unsettling—a shadowy figure that appeared behind Hex in a FaceTime call but wasn't visible when they turned around.

Caroline and Liz welcome back Southern GA-based interior designer and eight‑time author James Farmer to discuss his new book Home Again: A Return to Gracious Interiors. James explains the personal inspirations behind his lifelong oeuvre, how he reworked rooms at his Farmdale home, and his approach to layering tradition, comfort, and seasonality. From a lofty Auburn condo to a Nantucket‑tinged Vineyard retreat and a playful Oxford game‑day house, he shows how geometry, scale, heirlooms, and unexpected color (yes—coral) make spaces feel lived‑in and welcoming. The episode closes with a listener dilemma about choosing paint for a new build and James's practical advice on finish schedules and decision sequencing.

The Trump administration is promising billions in a bailout for farmers, but will it really solve their economic woes? Harvest Public Media reports.

USA Rice's Chain Engagement Program brings U.S.-grown rice concepts and information to restaurant operators of all sizes. It also brings culinary and marketing teams to farms and mills to make deeper connections. In October 2025, USA Rice brought a team from the Salad Collective, operators of Mad Greens, Snappy Salads, and Tokyo Joe's, to California during harvest. Their schedule was packed, touring Farmers' Rice Cooperative, Christine Wylie's seed operation, and Charley Mathews Jr's dryer and farm, as well as seeing wildlife and water management up close. Michael was on the tour and sat down with Cameron Jacobs to talk about the concepts as well as tour participants. With special guests: Chef Jeff DiSanto, Director of Culinary, Salad Collective, Dawn Whittenburg, Director of Marketing, Tokyo Joe's, and Cameron Jacobs, VP of Domestic Promotion, USA Rice Hosted by: Michael Klein and Deborah Willenborg

Many communities face an uneven food landscape: plenty of cheap junk food, but few places to buy fresh, healthy food. This pattern—often called “food apartheid”—doesn't happen by accident; it grows from redlining, unfair rules, and corporate control. The impacts are steep: higher rates of type 2 diabetes, kidney failure, and learning problems in Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities, along with unsafe conditions for farmworkers. These harms have a long history, and government subsidies and convincing marketing keep ultraprocessed foods on top. However, we take practical steps to make change including investing in regenerative and community farms, protecting and fairly paying farmworkers, and enforcing civil-rights laws so public dollars support real food, healthy soil, and communities that thrive. In this episode, Leah Penniman, Dr. Rupa Marya, Raj Patel, Karen Washington, and I discuss why food injustices exist and how we can create regenerative food systems to serve everyone. Leah Penniman is a Black Kreyol educator, farmer/peyizan, author, and food justice activist from Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, NY. She co-founded Soul Fire Farm in 2010 with the mission to end racism in the food system and reclaim our ancestral connection to land. As co-Executive Director, Leah is part of a team that facilitates powerful food sovereignty programs - including farmer training for Black & Brown people, a subsidized farm food distribution program for communities living under food apartheid, and domestic and international organizing toward equity in the food system. Leah has been farming since 1996, holds an MA in Education and a BA in Environmental Science from Clark University, and is a Manye (Queen Mother) in Vodun.  Dr. Rupa Marya is a physician, activist, mother, and composer. She is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco where she practices and teaches Internal Medicine. Her research examines the health impacts of social systems, from agriculture to policing. She is a co-founder of the Do No Harm Coalition, a collective of health workers committed to addressing disease through structural change. At the invitation of Lakota health leaders, she is currently helping to set up the Mni Wiconi Health Clinic and Farm at Standing Rock in order to decolonize medicine and food.  Raj Patel is a Research Professor at the University of Texas at Austin's Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs, a professor in the University's department of nutrition, and a Research Associate at Rhodes University, South Africa. He is the author of Stuffed and Starved, the New York Times bestselling The Value of Nothing, co-author of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. A James Beard Leadership Award winner, he is the co-director of the award-winning documentary about climate change and the food system, The Ants & The Grasshopper.  Karen is a farmer, activist, and food advocate. She is the Co-owner and Farmer at Rise & Root Farm in Chester, New York. In 2010, Karen Co-Founded Black Urban Growers (BUGS), an organization supporting growers in both urban and rural settings. In 2012, Ebony magazine voted her one of the 100 most influential African Americans in the country, and in 2014 Karen was the recipient of the James Beard Leadership Award. Karen serves on the boards of the New York Botanical Gardens, SoulFire Farm, the Mary Mitchell Center, Why Hunger, and Farm School NYC. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Every postcard has its surprises, and this one from my collection is a little unusual. Instead of showing a scenic view or a tourist attraction, it shows a mural of a man who was both feared and admired: Jesse James, the famous Missouri outlaw. The mural is located inside the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, and the fact that it ended up on a postcard tells you a lot about how Americans have remembered Jesse James—not just as a criminal, but as a larger-than-life figure of folklore. The postcard was published by Blair Cedar & Novelty Works of Camdenton, Missouri, with printing by Colorpicture of Boston, Massachusetts. Like many linen-era cards, it's vivid and bold, with stylized colors that almost make the mural look alive. On the front, the mural shows Jesse James and his gang in the middle of a train robbery—a scene that has become part of American legend. Farmers and workers stand in the background, symbolizing the state's broader history, while the train steams through the center as the action unfolds. It's a striking image: outlaw life turned into high art, displayed in the very heart of Missouri government...

The October 10 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a fiery interview with Elaine Culotti, known to many as the “Lipstick Farmer” and star of Undercover Billionaire. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed her back for a wide-ranging conversation on politics, farming, and California's future. Culotti, who farms in Fallbrook, has become a national voice on agricultural and political issues, recently appearing on Fox's Gutfeld! show. She told listeners that Prop 50 poses a direct threat to California's rural communities by stripping farmers and small towns of their representation. “This takes away the voice of our farmers in the Central Valley,” she said. “It's a sleight of hand, a land grab. If you think it doesn't affect you, think twice — they're coming after you.” She warned that Prop 50's rushed rollout violated the Open Commission Act and will result in maps that gerrymander rural voices out of power. “Even if you think it might be good for your district, vote no,” Culotti said. “They need to redo it properly and wait for the census.” Beyond Prop 50, Culotti took aim at the state's high-speed rail debacle, charging that billions have been siphoned off by middle groups and NGOs instead of completing the project. “The fact that California can't build a high-speed rail is a joke,” she said. She argued for private-public partnerships and conservative fiscal management to make infrastructure profitable again. She also highlighted California's homelessness crisis, blasting state spending without results. Culotti pointed to reports of nearly $900,000 per unit in Los Angeles homeless housing projects, arguing that the money never reaches the people it's meant to help. “We spend billions, and nothing changes. Where is all the money going?” she asked. For Culotti, the solutions come down to leadership and fiscal discipline. She called California “the greatest place on earth to live” but said government mismanagement has turned it into a cautionary tale. “This is a manmade problem, and a man can fix it,” she declared. “Vote red, vote conservative, and bring back the Sunshine State.” Listen to the full interview with Elaine Culotti on the AgNet News Hour:

The October 9 edition of the AgNet News Hour brought another fiery interview with Assemblyman David Tangipa, who joined hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill to expose corruption in Sacramento and rally California farmers against Proposition 50. Tangipa revealed shocking details about Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, accusing him of billing taxpayers for luxury travel, safaris, five-star hotels, and even VIP trips to follow a European DJ tour. “This isn't just an insurance crisis, it's an insurance catastrophe,” Tangipa said. “While wildfire victims and farmers can't get affordable coverage, our commissioner is partying on taxpayer dollars.” He called for Lara's resignation or recall and pledged to hold the governor's office accountable for approving the trips. The assemblyman tied the scandal to Prop 50, warning that if passed, it would give even more unchecked power to the same leadership. “This is why Prop 50 must be a firm no,” Tangipa said. “We already pay the highest taxes, gas prices, and utility bills in the nation. Giving these leaders more power is the last thing California needs.” Tangipa also took aim at California's handling of wildfires, pointing out that the Palisades and Eaton fires were made worse by negligence, not climate change. He cited evidence that LADWP left a reservoir basin empty and power fleets uncharged, crippling the emergency response. “These disasters are manmade,” he said. “If it's a policy problem, it's a people problem — and we can vote people out.” For farmers, Tangipa's message was clear: brace for tough years ahead. He warned that California may see hikes in payroll taxes, insurance costs, and utility bills, compounded by refinery shutdowns that could drive fuel prices higher. Still, he urged farmers to stay lean and keep fighting: “It's my turn to give back to the families who saved my life. Farmers feed the world, and now they need someone in Sacramento to fight for them.” Both hosts praised Tangipa for his candor and commitment. “He's stepping up to the plate and telling people like it is,” Papagni said, reminding listeners that California agriculture is in crisis mode but not beyond saving.

When President Donald Trump slapped tariffs on Chinese goods earlier this year, China ceased crop purchases from U.S. farmers. That hurt American agriculture, so the government hopes to help those farmers out with aid using tariff revenue. Trump did this during his last trade war. Today, we'll outline how it all played out. Plus, the price of gold keeps climbing, and we check in with a tea shop owner about how tariffs are affecting business.

In “The Long Recovery: Farmers and Hurricane Helene,” Gravy producer Irina Zhorov looks at how North Carolina farmers are building back after Hurricane Helene and finds that many still have a long way to go. The storm hit in late September, 2024. It killed at least 250 people and left nearly $80 billion worth of damage, the majority of that in mountainous western North Carolina. Farmers, who work flood-prone bottomlands and steep slopes in the high country, suffered catastrophic losses. There are thousands of farms in the region, which prides itself on its local foodways and strong network of producers. On many of these farms the floodwaters either deposited feet of sand on fields or washed away topsoil, sometimes to the bedrock—it just depended on where in a creek's bend their land lay. Soil takes hundreds of years to form and is a farmer's most important asset, but it's not yet clear how to address the effects of such dramatic land shifts. Extension agents are recommending farmers try planting special crops that help pump nutrients back into the dirt, but these cover crops can take years to show results. Many farmers would have a hard time financially taking fields out of production for extended periods. They also worry that their buyers may not wait that long before seeking produce from other farms. Still, it's not all bad. The storm did such dramatic damage that some farmers are starting almost from scratch and using that as an opportunity to build back better. Maybe that means putting in modern apple varieties, updating trellis systems, or changing the crops they grow. One farmer we spoke to is refocusing her farm on agribusiness and increasing her flower plantings. Another farmer is working to develop a method of growing raspberries that would use an annual rotation, like with tomatoes, rather than maintaining shrubs for a decade, which requires labor-intensive pruning and would leave them susceptible to potential future storms. This year, farmers have largely been cleaning up, evaluating, and figuring out how to proceed. The longer work of rebuilding could stretch for years to come. Learn more about your ad choices.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently pledged $20 billion of support to Argentina to prevent its currency from sliding further and to backstop Javier Milei’s Trump-like economic agenda. Then, Argentina turned around and lowered its export tariffs and dumped its soybean crop on the market. They found a willing buyer in China, who has ceased purchasing U.S. agriculture due to the Trump tariff war. The whole affair boiled over when an AP photographer snapped a picture of a text thread on Bessent’s phone from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Collins who said U.S. soybean farmers were livid because their market collapsed. It’s another example of the Trump administration putting ideology and pettiness ahead of his own constituents. But there’s a larger game afoot that no one is talking about that this situation perfectly illustrates: We’re playing checkers and China is playing chess.

Patrick takes heartfelt questions from callers wrestling with scrupulosity, confession anxiety, and misunderstandings about Catholic teaching on celibacy and sin. He shares practical wisdom, weaving in scripture and personal encouragement, as listeners reveal their own struggles with temptation, family faith conflicts, and daily spiritual challenges. His perspective brings clarity and reassurance to those unsure about where they stand with God or how to approach difficult conversations in faith. Laura (email) - I'm not sure if I am behaving too scrupulous or not. (00:44) Jim - My son went to a Baptism where there was a married priest. This confuses me. I feel discouraged that married men can't become priests. (11:49) Patricia - Is the Farmer's Almanac demonic? (21:16) Allan - What is the Theotokos? Is Mary divine? (25:21) Nick - My Church offers confession every day. If I have a strong temptation, is that appropriate to take to confession? (27:52) Pat - You said that priests cannot marry because of their choice. Do married priests still have to practice celibacy and can they get remarried? (37:43) Maria - I am trying to evangelize a Muslim, and he does believe He is a prophet. How do I explain to Muslims that Jesus died and rose again? (45:11)
