We're coming to you mid-snowstorm (40 inches in Rhode Island?! Are people just tunneling to Target at this point?) and somehow we start the episode with “we have nothing to talk about” which is always when things spiral the fastest. This week's chaos includes:  The wrinkle debate. What are those lines from your nose to your mouth and why are they suddenly… aggressive? Do we need facelifts? Frownies? Lymphatic brushes from TikTok Shop? Or is this just collagen packing its bags and leaving the chat? Red light therapy masks miracle or $500 mistake? Danna breaks down what it actually does (muscle recovery, inflammation, mood boost… allegedly), but then the ski-trip hot tub drama hits. Red dots. Panic Googling. Bed bug flashbacks. Lice PTSD. Turns out? Hot tub folliculitis. Antibiotics for everyone. Public hot tubs are officially cancelled. Farm update from the barn. Kristin is now the proud mother of two new lambs and still refusing to wash the overalls until lambing season is over. The coat has been washed (breaking news), but the pants may legally qualify as a biohazard. Progress is progress. Olympic feelings. We're not ready for the Olympics to be over. Hockey gold, missing teeth, heartfelt moments, and why the Winter Olympics are basically the unhinged best friend of the Summer Games. Leftovers for 20… from a dinner for 7. Shrimp. Deviled eggs. Soup. Pepperoni bread. A hot cheese dip situation. We may have catered our own podcast night. And we also share about a really cool networking opportunity our kids were part of because in between lice stories, hot tub bacteria, and lambs being born, we're still trying to raise capable humans. It's skincare confusion, farm chaos, mom spirals, and Olympic nostalgia, basically, peak Mismatched. New episode out now. Come laugh with us.

A Note from Michael: The Thriving Farmer Podcast is currently on pause as we navigate a busy season on the farm. While we're taking this break, we're excited to share Farm in Focus, a special series of short, focused conversations recorded earlier this year. These bite-sized episodes highlight practical insights from farmers and experts across the industry. We hope they're helpful and encouraging as you continue your farming journey.   What does it look like to lead and manage an all-female farm team? In this Farm in Focus episode, Michael sits down with Emma de Long of Kneehigh Farm to talk about what she's learned running a farm crew made up entirely of women. Emma shares her experience building a strong, supportive team in an industry that has traditionally been male-dominated, along with the leadership lessons that have shaped how she manages people day-to-day. From starting small and scaling over time, to fostering compassion, communication, and trust within a close-knit crew, Emma offers thoughtful insights into team dynamics on a small farm. This conversation focuses less on ownership structure and more on what it takes to lead a team well—especially when people, relationships, and long days are at the center of the work. In this episode, you'll hear about: Building an All-Female Farm Team • How Emma's crew naturally evolved into an all-women team [03:23] • What it's been like leading women in a traditionally male-dominated field [06:35] Leadership & Team Culture • Why compassion plays a central role in Emma's leadership style [06:52] • Creating a family-like dynamic while still maintaining professionalism • How trust and communication shape day-to-day farm operations Challenges & Practical Realities • Tools and systems that aren't always designed with women in mind [10:31] • Balancing physical demands with teamwork and mutual support • Accepting help and knowing when to lean on others Advice for Farmers & Team Leaders • Why community matters just as much as production [12:23] • The value of mentorship and peer support • Emma's encouragement for farmers—especially women—looking to build strong teams [15:42] Bio:Emma de Long is a farmer, educator, and fiber advocate based in Chester County, Pennsylvania. She founded Kneehigh Farm in 2013 and has since grown a diverse mix of vegetables, dye plants, and fiber crops. Since 2019, Emma has cultivated indigo for natural pigment extraction, and in 2020 she co-founded the Pennsylvania Flax Project, an initiative dedicated to rebuilding regional flax processing infrastructure. Kneehigh Farm operates as a 100% women-run operation, and in 2021 Emma opened Red Dog Market, a year-round outlet for farm goods and local products.   Links:

Colin and I just spent two nights at Bolt Farm Treehouse and I'll be honest… I can't turn the hospitality side of my brain off. If you're in the short-term rental or boutique hotel world, you already know their story. It's talked about a lot. But this episode isn't about the hype. It's about what it actually feels like to check in as a guest at a high-end brand everyone admires. What surprised me. What impressed me. What made me pause. Because here's the truth: not everything was perfect. There was a last-minute room switch. An "all-inclusive" experience that wasn't fully inclusive for dietary needs. A few small design and communication hiccups. And yet… it still worked. We still left feeling connected. Rested. Thought about. Why? Because the welcome was strong. The intention was clear. The storytelling was emotional. From the curated in-room upgrades to the cocktail hour experience to the way they invited guests into something bigger than just a place to sleep, there were so many moments that reminded me what hospitality is actually about. In this episode, I break down: ➡️What they did exceptionally well ➡️Where clarity and alignment could have been stronger ➡️What "all-inclusive" really needs to mean ➡️How guest flow impacts shared spaces like wellness areas ➡️Why appealing to all five senses changes everything And the biggest takeaway? Your property does not have to be flawless to be unforgettable. Excellence isn't perfection. It's thoughtfulness. It's alignment. It's making sure the experience you promise is the experience your guest actually walks into. If you're building a micro-resort, refining your STR, or dreaming about something bigger, this one will challenge you in the best way. Let's get into it.

Send a textWhat if the real power of a homestead isn't the lifestyle but the launchpad it creates for mission, discipleship, and community? We sit down with Brayden Waller to explore how a family can move from “getting the farm in order” to setting sail with a clear, others-first purpose—without losing the heart of home along the way.Brayden shares his family's unexpected path: leaving a high-hour job for presence, homeschooling for formation, and relocating into an Amish community for simplicity and togetherness. He explains how refusing control while welcoming outside testimonies built trust, conviction, and unity on the big decisions. From there, the story widens. The Wallers served Jewish farmers in Israel and later launched Love and Purity, a ministry focused on worship and whole-life holiness. Out of that came Harp and Farm, an immersive program where young adults learn music, work the soil, and form daily patterns of prayer, responsibility, and teamwork.We dig into practical rhythms that make faith tangible: using farm work as a living classroom, handling conflict as a path to growth, and building a crew mentality that prepares a family to actually leave the harbor. Brayden offers a powerful testimony of a student who traded screens for strings and soil, rediscovered purpose, and experienced a 180-degree life change. We also talk about raising kids by their gifts—celebrating the evangelist, the musician, and the cow-milker—and why meaningful roles beat passive entertainment every time.This conversation is for homesteaders, ministry leaders, and anyone who wants their daily work to carry kingdom weight. If you've felt stuck perfecting the ship but never setting sail, you'll find courage to aim beyond the fence line: farmers markets as ministry touchpoints, visiting the weak, building a local fellowship, and learning when to pause for repairs and when to catch the wind. To learn more about the Waller's ministry and apply for their internship visit https://www.loveandpurity.com/harpandfarminternshipSupport the show

Send a textIt's kidding season and the barn is in full chaos at every turn.  This week on Ringside, we're diving into extended lactations, what they are, why more producers are considering it and whether they truly make sense for a commercial herd.  We're joined by Hannah Sessions of Blue Ledge Farm to break down her commercial herd study with Holly Menguc on extended lactations.  How did it impact milk production, labor demands and what surprised them most once they committed to it.  What makes Holly and Hannah's experience different is that they imported and used European genetics through the Goat Improvement Company to create replacement does with genetics that are used for just that, extended lactations and production.  This episode is very interesting and something anyone whether on the commercial side or show/hobby side could consider for the future. Hanna Sessions Blue Ledge FarmHolly Menguc Tup's Crohssing FarmExtended Lactation Final ReportWe have merch!

Each year, Kansas Sorghum welcomes fresh perspective through its Collegiate Fellowship Program, and 2026 is no exception. This month's episode of the Sorghum State Podcast introduces 2026 Collegiate Food and Ag Policy Fellow Carson Rudd and Communications Fellow Mindy Wells, two Kansas State University students investing their time and talents into advancing Kansas sorghum. They share where they are from, what they are studying and how their campus involvement connects back to agriculture.Rudd also outlines key developments from the 2026 legislative session, including movement on the grain theft bill, higher ethanol blend incentives, and water and conservation investments. With the Legislature past the Turnaround deadline, the focus narrows as priority issues for sorghum growers continue moving through the process.Wells highlights outreach efforts on behalf of the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission, from conducting harvest interviews across the state to expanding digital communications and supporting events such as Sorghum Connection and the Women Grow the Farm conference.Together, alongside the Kansas Sorghum team, the fellows are helping tell the sorghum story in ways that connect producers, consumers and the next generation.

At its heart, regenerative agriculture is an opportunity to reset a farm's relationship with both nature and economics. Most farmers who take the time to re-think their system, to reduce their use of expensive inputs, to mix livestock and crop production into long rotations, and to maximise the efficacy of free natural resources (such as sunlight and water), find that they are more economically resilient, that nature thrives in their fields and that they're just happier and healthier people.In this programme we hear from four UK farmers who've unleashed the power of regeneration on their farms - we'll hear their stories, and we'll ask what tools have enabled their success.With Graham Rutherford from Viewlaw Farm in Northumberland, Verity Megginson from Kirkburn Manor Farm in East Yorkshire, Rhys Jones from Pearson Gape Farming Partnership in Cambridgeshire, and Sian Jones from Moelogan Fawr in North Wales.This programme has been sponsored by Regenerate Outcomes.Farm Gate is part of 8point9.com.Listen to the edited audio version by searching for Farm Gate wherever you get your podcasts.

You've probably heard of a watershed or a foodshed, but have you heard of a fibershed? On today's show, host Douglas Haynes unpacks the growing movement of farmers and fiber artists rebuilding Wisconsin's wool and flax textile systems. He's joined by Leslie Schroeder of the Midwest Linen Revival, Jane Hansen, a sheep farmer and Board Member of the Three Rivers FIbershed, and WORT's Talk Producer, Sara Gabler, whose article about fibersheds is featured in this month's Isthmus magazine. Fibersheds focus on what can be readily grown within a particular bioregion. In the Upper Midwest, that's not cotton or indigo, but wool and flax. These grassroots organizations nurture place-based relationships–between sheep, the soil, water systems, and the farmers and laborers who grow and process the raw materials into the quality yarns that fiber artists love.  Going local is a choice that supports the environment and local farmers at a time when small family farms need as much backing and better crop opportunities as they can get. Hansen and Schroeder recommend mending the clothes that you already own and avoiding buying synthetic fabrics that shed microplastics. Schroeder says to start small, make one garment from locally sourced materials and it will become something you always cherish. Hansen describes the work that goes into raising healthy sheep, including her pasture management practices and the process of prepping fleece to go to the fiber mill. She gets support from her fibershed and uses her farm to educate the public about the importance of locally grown textiles.  Though there are several cottage mills in the state, Wisconsin lacks the infrastructure that would make it possible for sheep farmers to produce wool at a commercial scale. We don't have any infrastructure for producing linen, the fiber that is derived from the flax plant. There's a healthy demand for locally grown linen, says Schroeder, but you'd have to grow and prepare it yourself at the moment. Schroeder hopes to change that with her grant-funded work to source high-quality domestic seeds, purchase and import harvesting equipment, and site a multi-million dollar mill.  You can learn more about wool and fibersheds by reading one of Schroeder's recommended books (Vanishing Fleece, Women's Work, or Fibershed) and find your local organization here. Jane Hansen raises Coopworth sheep in Ogema, WI. She is a board member of the Three Rivers Fibershed, Northern Pines fibershed and Embrace (a domestic and sexual violence advocacy service provider in a 4 county region of Northern WI). She is also an active member of Wisconsin Farmers Union and host of a monthly Fiber Fun on the Farm event at her own farm. Leslie Schroeder is the co-founder of Midwest Linen Revival, an organization dedicated to laying the groundwork for establishing flax for fiber as an agricultural crop in our region. She is co-curator of the Field to Frock festival, co-creator of two teenaged daughters, and sleeps outside whenever she can. Featured image of the stages of flax production.

Katie Rose has been farming for 10 years and  half of those are here on her home farm. She sells organic veg from about 5 acres in production with several high tunnels through a retail year round farm stand, CSA, wholesale, and farmers markets. We start off with a winter tour of the farm after some fresh January snow where she shares about growing winter greens, getting water on the farm, and growing in varying soil conditions across the sloping landscape. We then pull up a stool in the wash pack and talk about how she got into ag, the challenges of starting a diversified veg farm in the 2020's and how friends and mentors helped her through the growing pains she experienced while building up this farm business. Support the showVisit the website to see photos/videos from the visit: https://thefarmersshare.comFollow the show on Facebook and Instagram: @thefarmersshareSubscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thefarmersshare

Glass Minds, released Friday 27th February 2026 via Dangervisit through [PIAS], follows the ambitious 2022 triple-album Call to Arms & Angels, which charted Top 10 across Europe and culminated in their biggest headline show to date at Paris' Accor Arena. Produced by Archive alongside long-time collaborator Jerome Devoise, and recorded in Brighton, London and Paris, Glass Minds marks a shift toward a more minimal, down-tempo sound — built on space and emotional weight. New textures emerge through Essex rapper Jimmy Collins on "Heads Are Gonna Roll," while Lisa Mottram shines on the title track and "The Love The Light." At its core is the eight-minute "So Far From Losing You," one of the band's most personal and expansive pieces to date. In this conversation, Dave Pen reflects on joining Archive and becoming part of a true creative collective. He discusses the trust and experimentation that shape the band's process, the evolution of their sound over three decades, embracing AI in the album's visual identity, and why live performance remains the ultimate space where Archive's songs continue to grow and transform.

Harrison Ward, also known as Fell Foodie, drank more than 20 pints a day, smoked like a chimney, battled clinical depression in silence and reached a moment where he believed there were only two ways out. Today I sit down with the man behind the outdoor cooking phenomenon to unpack addiction, withdrawal, mental health and the decision that saved his life. Harrison shares the reality behind addiction, drinking culture and the hidden loneliness of high-masking depression. From working in pubs while drinking heavily to climbing a mountains during withdrawal, this is a raw exploration of what happens when escape stops working and honesty begins.Together they explore why alcohol can feel like medicine before it becomes a prison, how depression can quietly shape behaviour from teenage years onwards, and why many people suffer in silence long before anyone notices. Harrison speaks openly about peer pressure, shame, identity and the fear of speaking honestly about mental health, especially growing up in environments where vulnerability felt impossible.Harrison explains how sobriety allowed him to rediscover purpose through food, nature and creativity, cooking restaurant-quality meals on remote mountainsides and sharing hope with thousands online. Oliver and Harrison also discuss cravings, withdrawal, rebuilding self-worth, going public about sobriety and the practical options available for anyone struggling with alcohol or depression today. If you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation offers honesty without judgement and hope without clichés.Now, over 9 years sober, Harrison has fused his love of food with the healing power of the outdoors. He's hiking the fells of Cumbria and cooking restaurant quality meals on a simple camp stove in the mountains, and sharing his story to show others that recovery is possible.He's been featured on the BBC with Mary Berry, Channel 5's ‘Winter on the Farm', Countryfile Magazine, Men's Fitness, and more. He's a bestselling author, a keynote speaker, and a brand ambassador.

Though he was never seen, Andy Wilman was an inextricable part of the success of Top Gear. He's the co-creator and executive producer of the show, which has been seen by over 350 million people around the world. And when Top Gear came to a close, he was in charge of The Grand Tour, the show that picked up right where its predecessor left off, and now Wilman is running Amazon's record-breaking show Clarkson's Farm. More than two decades later, he's written a book about how it all came to be, looking behind the scenes in ‘Mr Wilman's Motoring Adventure'. While it may have started out as an ordinary TV show, Top Gear quickly became a phenomenon, and Wilman told Mike Hosking there were dozens of tiny moments that made them realise it. “Richard [Hammond's] crash, obviously, we were, I think we were already big by then, but Richard's crash stunned us at how we were part of the nation's TV watching fabric.” “I think the, the things, the elements that were inevitable were because we were making things up as we went along, because we had no plan,” he explained. “So you surprise yourself ... those moments in turn generate new material, which keeps you fresh.” But as the viewership grew, so did the pressure, and the combination of a smaller crew size, ideological differences within the BBC, and the team getting “too big for their boots” started to cause problems. “Those three elements were the perfect storm that led to our demise.” A little further down the line is Clarkson's Farm, which despite being a smaller production, Wilman says is more rewarding. “[It's] a far more challenging and rewarding show to make, simply because they shoot all the time.” Since Clarkson is at work from the moment he steps out his front door, the filming has to cover everything. “We just shoot and shoot and shoot and then we'll see what sticks to the wall.” And a large part of the show's appeal is its supporting cast, which Wilman says was like catching lightning in a bottle for the second time. “A bit like Jeremy, Richard, and James – you couldn't plan that.” “Magic happened.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 1:45 Chandra has been going through a tough time and we've been protecting our peace. We celebrate our 20 year anniversary next week! I founded Celebitchy in February, 2006 and Chandra has worked here since late 2008.  Royals: Minutes 1:45 to 14:00 Prince Andrew was arrested at Wood Farm in Sandringhham on Thursday for "suspicions of misconduct in public office." New documents in the latest Epstein file release suggest that he traded confidential information with Epstein in a kind of quid pro quo for access to trafficked girls. Police also searched Andrew's former residence, Royal Lodge. Andrew had to be forced out of Royal Lodge earlier this month after being spotted riding his horse and waving to tourists. He was originally supposed to move out last year. In the latest cache of Epstein files it came out that Epstein had trafficked a 20-year-old woman to Prince Andrew in 2010. Andrew could face years in jail. King Charles issued a statement after Andrew's arrest saying, in part, "the law must take its course." His previous statement from February 9 was that he stands "ready to support" the police "as you would expect," and "their Majesties' thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse." Other family members have also said they were thinking of the victims. Charles and Queen Elizabeth's defense has been that they believed Andrew's lies. This defense falls flat when you consider that they had MI6 at their disposal. Andrew still has royal protection somehow. We learned too many things that we don't want to know about Epstein and his evil associates. We don't get into the details. I pay a segment from Zoom from last week we talked about the royals and Epstein.  Chandra hopes that Andrew has to face real consequences and thinks this may be the end of the monarchy as everyone is involved. We've heard that Prince William's charity received donations from known close associates to Epstein. Will and Kate are mishandling this despite hiring a crisis manager. William recently did a BBC interview were he talked about men's mental health. This was widely criticized as tone deaf. Oscar-nominated movies: Minutes 14 to end Chandra has seen Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Bugonia, Frankenstein and half of Sentimental Value. I've seen Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Frankenstein, Train Dreams and half of Hamnet. I didn't like Train Dreams or Hamnet, although I only saw half of Hamnet. Chandra loved Sentimental Value and says the acting is amazing. She hopes Wagner Moura wins best actor for The Secret Agent. She loathed Marty Supreme and thinks Timothee Chalamet should not win for that performance. I liked Marty Supreme a lot. My favorite movie is Sinners and I want Michael B. Jordan to win. Chandra wants Teyana Taylor to win supporting actress. This awards season has been chaotic. I also saw If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and didn't like it. Chandra liked Bugonia but mostly for the ending. She also loved Lanthimos' Poor Things and thinks Emma Stone deserved the Oscar for that.
