Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

In this final minisode of the season (Don't worry; there's still one more full episode on the way!), Stacy returns from Japan with tales of train travel, city-hopping, and family time. Each region had its own personality, and seeing the country through her son's eyes made the trip even more memorable. Meanwhile, Daniel's been deep in renovation mode, helping another friend prepare a nursery. The room's first iteration was a hands-on learning experience, complete with a slightly crooked level and a few design choices that didn't turn out quite as planned. Now it's time to undo, redo, and simplify, and let's just say Daniel's tolerance for anything finicky is… limited. He prefers tools that work straight out of the box, not ones that need calibration and coaxing. He and Stacy also compare notes on gardening—what's working, what's not, and why the weeds always seem one step ahead. Plus, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who tuned in this season.

In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy and Daniel answer a listener's question about what to do with an unused chimney. Should it stay or should it go? They weigh the pros and cons, sharing stories from their own restoration projects, and consider how to balance architectural integrity with practical updates, especially when a chimney no longer serves its original purpose. Later, Stacy and Daniel chat with Olivia Wood, the eleventh-generation steward of Poplar Grove, a historic family home with deep roots. Olivia shares how she's embracing the responsibility of preservation while also making the space her own. From uncovering centuries-old documents, including ones related to the site's history with slavery, to navigating family dynamics and building a design team, Olivia's story is one of patience, creativity, and respect for the past. She also opens up about her growing confidence during the whole house renovation and her dream of turning Poplar Grove into a resource for historical education. This episode is a reminder that old houses hold stories, decisions, and opportunities to shape the future by honoring the past.

In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy and Daniel tackle a relatable question: What's the deal with tiny closets in old houses, and how can homeowners maximize storage? They offer tips, commiseration, and a few creative workarounds. Then, if you've been waiting for a deep dive into Lustron living, this is the episode. Stacy chats with Laura, proud owner of a Lustron home. These prefabricated, all-metal houses were born out of the post–World War II housing shortage and designed as a modern, low-maintenance solution for families in need of fast, affordable housing. Laura shares what it's really like to live in one of these rare architectural time capsules. From magnetic walls and steel cabinets to the practicalities of maintenance, she has embraced "space age" living with appreciation and delight. Laura's experience offers a firsthand look at why Lustron homes still captivate preservationists, old house lovers, and anyone who appreciates the quirkiest house in their neighborhood.

In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Daniel dives into the deeply satisfying experience of helping friends prepare their home for a new baby. Left unsupervised while his friends were at the hospital, Daniel organized the house with gusto—leaving the new parents a little more surprised than planned. He reflects on what worked, what didn't, and why the whole experience might just turn into a book someday. Then, Stacy talks about gearing up for the big move, including renting a POD, packing up her historic house, and tackling the project mostly on her own.

Rod is incredibly passionate about honoring the Acadian story and preserving the cultural heritage of the region.

In this special October episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy and Daniel return with Part II of their spooky stories compilation. Following the eerie encounters shared in Part I, this episode brings even more spine-tingling yet light-hearted ghost stories from old house owners across the U.S. and Canada. In Part II, Caitlin Barrett recounts the strange disturbances in her 1890 home in Kerhonksin, New York, blending humor with suspense. Next, Laurel, an architectural historian from Hawaii, shares her family's multi-generational experiences with a haunted house in Maine. Then, Liberty discusses her 176-year-old home in Northeast Ohio, where a resident ghost seems lukewarm about the family's renovations but fond of her kids. Finally, Tara tells the tale of her friendly ghost with whom she's lived harmoniously for over 23 years—often using the ghost's presence to her advantage with guests and contractors. For fans of haunted house stories with a playful twist, Part II offers more spooky delights. "Caitlin Barrett's Paranormal Profession" Professional namer Caitlin Barrett shares some spooky encounters in her 1890 house in Kerhounksin, New York. From odd noises to thunderous booms, Caitlin's tale takes a surprising turn when a salt ritual seems to resolve the paranormal disturbances. "Laurel's Haunted Family Home in Maine" Laurel, an architectural historian from Hawaii, dives into the eerie stories passed down through her family about their haunted home in Maine. Since the 1970s, strange noises and moving objects have become a part of the house's legacy. "Liberty's Playful Ghost" Liberty's family recently moved into a 176-year-old house in Northeast Ohio, and not all of the residents are happy about it! Liberty discusses their ghostly housemate, who is less than thrilled with the renovations but seems to have taken a special liking to the kids. "Tara's Friendly Haunt" For over two decades, Tara has lived with a ghost in her home—one confirmed by a psychic. Rather than fearing her spectral companion, Tara has found a way to embrace its presence and even use it to her advantage when guests or contractors wear out their welcome.

Even those who love homes with history, character, and patina agree that making old buildings work for modern living isn't always easy. No one wants to live in a museum, but how do you adapt the past to the modern world? Can an 18th -century palazzo, a 1920s apartment, or a 1950s glass house be made to answer the desire for expansive kitchens and baths, air-conditioning, and powerful Wi-Fi in every room? Interior designer and château owner Timothy Corrigan and Robert O'Byrne, the Irish Aesthete, weigh in on the rewards of renovation, how clever thinking and innovative approaches can maintain and enhance the beauty of the past, why old structures can be a relative bargain, and why patience is a crucial element in any renovation.

Ann sits with Architectural Historian Kenneth Hafertepe to discuss his latest release volume 3 of Historic Homes of Waco,Texas As with his well-received first book on the historic homes of Waco, architectural historian Kenneth Hafertepe brings to life the colorful and varied pasts of an entirely new set of notable residences in this city. Hafertepe extends coverage beyond the typical focus on homes of the more well-to-do classes. Included here are “homes of saloon keepers, horse traders, saddlers, ministers, bookkeepers, candy store owners, and laborers” as well as the residences of lawyers, doctors, and wealthy merchants, among others. With a blend of meticulous research, beautiful color photographs, and accessible, entertaining writing, Hafertepe presents these historic homes as a lens on the history and sociology of Waco, Texas, showing how immigrants from Western and Central Europe, West Asia, and other places of origin, along with African Americans, Mexican Americans, Anglo-Americans, and others, made places and lives for themselves and their families in this central Texas community. The result, as described by Hafertepe, is “an intricate tapestry, with materials contributed by Black Wacoans as well as white; by immigrants from abroad and people born elsewhere in the United States. . . . These houses tell stories of successes and failures, triumphs and tragedies, dreams that came true and dreams that were denied. These houses speak to the complexity of the human condition and to the ongoing experiments that are Waco, Texas, and the United States of America.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Veg Grower Podcast! Episode #522 takes you on a delightful journey through the edible gardens of Batemans, a historic National Trust property, and provides a sneak peek into the latest updates from our very own veg garden. Join me, Richard, as we explore the charm of Batemans and discover the joys of home harvests. Garden Update: We kick off this week's episode by diving straight into my veg garden. After the productive week we had last time, clearing out spaces and preparing for the growing season, exciting developments are underway. One of the highlights is the creation of our very own nursery area, strategically positioned right in front of our trusty greenhouse. This nursery area is designed to efficiently nurture our young plants, creating a seamless production line from sowing seeds to final planting. While it's still a work in progress, plans are coming together beautifully. However, the soaring wood prices have added a slight twist to our building endeavours. We'll also discuss the saga of an old bottle fridge that attempted to serve as a cold frame earlier this year. It got a bit too enthusiastic and cooked our plants, leading to a tough decision about its fate. And what's a week in the veg garden without some cabbage talk? More cabbages have been planted, and a couple have been harvested, leaving us with an intriguing question: will we have cabbages for Christmas? The answer lies in our winter preparations. Our harvest basket is brimming with courgettes, raspberries, tomatoes, chillies, aubergines, carrots, and much more. The supermarket aisles seem a world away as we revel in the joys of growing our own produce. As the days grow shorter, it's also time to tackle the seed tins, sorting and organizing, ensuring that we're well-prepared for next year's gardening adventures. But hold on, we're just getting started! Stay tuned for an exciting trip to Batemans, a National Trust property, and discover the latest from our supporters club.

Allotment Update: Back on the allotment, we encounter surprises and challenges. Swiss chard finds its new home, adding vibrant hues to our garden. But a surprise lurks beneath the soil—a black membrane that explains the struggles of our sweetcorn. Our trusty elder tree gets a much-needed pruning, taming its wild side, but now we're left with a pile of trimmings and a lack of space in the compost bins. Winter projects are on the horizon, including the relocation of our shed. The journey begins with dismantling the old compost bin, a task made easier by repurposed pallet wood. Comfrey-covered ground awaits levelling, setting the stage for future shed-moving endeavours.

The network of the Underground Railroad spanned free and enslaved states across the U.S., including Iowa.

Who actually wrote the Little House books? For decades this question has loomed over the series. Was it Laura, a 65-year-old farm wife? Or her daughter Rose, one of the country's most successful freelance writers? But that's not the only conspiracy theory these heartwarming, cozy books have spawned. Many people also believe they are a Libertarian fantasy masquerading as tales for children. In this episode we tackle the question: how involved in the writing was Rose, really? And how much of Rose's sometimes extreme political ideology ended up woven into Laura's story? And if that weren't enough, we also look into whether Rose was responsible for funding the education of two of the most powerful right-wing operatives in America. While we're on the subject of politics, did Little House bankroll a failed run for President? And, finally, how did a man Laura never met, come to control the entire Little House world? We told you Rose was complicated.
