Podcasts about hot chocolate

I got to meet Patrick Kelly this past January at Podfest, and we talked about doing this episode then - timing was just weird, but I think maybe it was just meant to happen now... Pat is the host of The Produce Industry Podcast and also runs The Produce Industry Network, on the side of his actual produce business and family life... I've said so many times that we should know where our food comes from, and I've talked about my jam business, and how I picked my own berries to feel better about the fruit I was using, and I'm so glad to have had the chance to get from the industry that I was doing things the hard way (that's SO me). I learned so much from this conversation - Pat has been working in this industry for 25 years, and before that, he heard all about it from his dad, so he KNOWS.  He set me straight on a couple of things, and gave a good overview of what the industry is really like, and it is wild! It takes a real passion and energy to work in an unpreserved food world - always hustling to make sure food isn't wasted, and I'm glad that Pat is there!The Produce Industry Podcast is exactly what it sounds like - all things produce, which, for me, at least, is fascinating. And the network puts out 5 episodes each week, so there's something for everyone. I just finished listening to their segment on The Lewellings, which takes place in the early 1800s and involves so much US history - they had the first commercial nursery in Iowa!

Recorded on a Monday at the Palm Street Studio.  Everyone is getting pickled with the pickled vodka.  JTK's wedding is coming up soon and we joke around a bunch and make plans.  Alternative energy is shady as hell and what is truly the motivation?  We finally get to the top 5, which is favorite concession stand items at sports events.  The podcast goes off the rails and the Pirate Water also kicks in.  Booths in restaurants are the worst, especially for larger people.  Ban the fixed booth!  Make good choices!

MaryEllen Lundy has thought of everything, it seems, with An Eco-Organized Approach downsizing! It's inspiring to hear her talk about how circular her system is, from cleaning out to rehoming belongings, and everything in between. She shares a few stories that show just how much thought and care goes into her projects, which makes sense, considering she is entering someone's home and personal space, and helping them let go of things they've held tight to- it takes a very special personality to handle the deep emotional ties that some folks have to their belongings (I'm one of those people - things hold memories for me because my brain doesn't recall well without help), and gently assisting with the removal, or cleanout. MaryEllen has already put a ton of thought into a project before removing anything from the home, like what types of items can be fixed up. or repurposed, donated to a school, community program or a retirement home, or as an absolute last option is landfill. She works so hard to not have landfill be that optionWhen I asked MaryEllen about a message she hopes you'll remember, she said this: "Did you know every item in your home, in your life really…has its own lifetime? Its own beginning, middle, and - thanks to an Eco Organized Approach,  end."You can find all things MaryEllen and An Eco-Organized Approach here: https://anecoorganizedapproach.com/She's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/anecoorganizedapproach/And on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/AnEcoOrganizedApproachSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Maxx Cumby McGee has been planning the Gott Street Blues clothing brand since the 90s when she was one of a very few women in the construction world - life just delayed it. Maxx's story is both hillarious and eye opening; how she started in modeling at 19, and got into construction by making friends with the CEO of Anheuser-Busch, and showing up on her first day with a pink toolbox and men's work clothes that nearly got her injured because there were no women's work clothes. This is a longer episode, but I'll bet it goes by quicker than you expect, because Maxx is very entertaining, and this story about fashion for the workplace is fascinating!If you asked Maxx  what GottStreet Blues is about, she would say,"Clothing for women doing physical labor, clothing that was made with women in mind, getting past vanity sizing, meeting comfort with functionality and fit for women specifically." We talk about this a lot because it's been a real issue for her at work, and it affects others today, as more women are entering the trades for work. GottStreet Blues is a sustainable clothing company for women who work in the trades - or women who have trouble finding clothes that really fit (raising my hand). Maxx's message she wants you to remember: "Trust yourself, you can do anything, anytime, at any age." To Dye For documentary: https://www.todyeforthedocumentary.com/You can find Maxx's website here https://gottstreetblues.com/She's also on TikTok here https://www.tiktok.com/@maxxwell814Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

I had a great time talking with Bridget Shirvell about her new book Parenting in a Climate Crisis; A Handbook for Turning Fear into Action - I may have gotten a little excited when she was talking about the contents of the book, knowing there was a chapter about activism... Bridget is a freelance writer, and has done pieces for Martha Stewart and PBS, Conde Nast and New York Times, and others about food, travel and the environment. Having her own young child inspired her to write the book, to prepare young people to take on the world that we leave, by teaching the love of nature.From her website: "In this urgent parenting guide, learn how to navigate the uncertainty of the climate crisis and keep your kids informed, accountable, and hopeful–with simple actions you can take as a family to help the earth.Kids today are experiencing the climate crisis firsthand. Camp canceled because of wildfire smoke. Favorite beaches closed due to erosion. Recess held indoors due to extreme heat. How do parents help their children make sense of it all? And how can we keep our kids (and ourselves) from despair?"You can find all of Bridget's incredible work (and her book!) at her website here: https://breeshirvell.com/She's also on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breeshirvellSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

You may be thinking "what makes Kurt Avery have a heart of gold?" You'll have to listen to this conversation, because it's hard to put into words how quietly wonderful Kurt is. And if you're not wondering that, then let's get to the quiet part-Kurt is the CEO of Sawyer Products, and if you do any outdoor activities, you're familiar with the brand; they make water filters for your water bottles, sunscreen and first aid products for hiking and camping. They are THE name for the most effective products. But did you know that Kurt and Sawyer Products has provided water filters for the military stationed abroad? And that they are donating THOUSANDS of water filters to countries that have had high illness rates due to lack of clean water, and to places that have experienced natural disasters? Kurt also wrote a book called Sawyer Think; How A Small Company Disrupts Markets and Changes the World, and I haven't read it yet, but I feel pretty confident that it will only confirm what I've heard from him about his charity work.I've never really been a camper or hiker, but I'll definitely be sure to support Kurt and Sawyer Products any way I can. I hope you enjoy this conversation!You can find Kurt's company Sawyer Products here: https://www.sawyer.com/Their Instagram page is here: https://www.instagram.com/sawyerproducts/They're on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Sawyer-Products/61563796295518/The company Linkedin page is here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sawyer-products/posts/?feedView=allSawyer's YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/c/SawyerProducts/featuredAnd on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sawyerproductsSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Poor old Johnnie Ray.Actually, I wonder what the heart wrenching vocal superstar of the fifties made of his starring role in the biggest selling single of 1982, thirty years after his own chart topping run? Did anyone ever ask how he felt watching the footage of his younger self in the video for Come On Eileen intertwined with Kevin's dungaree festooned Emerald Express on a London street corner. Perhaps, as he was famous for doing, he cried. I hope Mr Rowland at least sent him a thank you note.So, welcome back to 1982!Were you there in those now gone days of pop perfection? Did you dance in the ra-ra skirt to Duran Duran at the school disco? Did you shed a tear as The Jam called it a day on the new Channel Four pop weekly The Tube, even though Paul knew well(er) what the next chapter held for his newly formed council. Or perhaps the Smash Hits of over forty years ago exist for you in playlists and radio schedules discovered since. Either way, the NOW Yearbook (and Extra volume) welcomes you with a neon smile to bring together over 140 hits, memories, misses and otherwise that sum up a stellar twelve months of pop. And as 1981's steely electronic winter defrosted, a new pop was emerging. Duran, Spandau, Culture, Club, Wham!, Haircut 100 and a dazzling cast of many more were turning the colour back up on their (three channel) TV sets. Whilst the technology that gloriously gave us the new romantic sounds of 1981 was still driving the decade forward, suddenly we were taking ourselves, well, a bit less seriously. Pop was fun again as seen in the ever evolving, cheerleading extravaganza that was Top of The Pops. The charts were indeed alive to the possibilities of much more. Trevor Horn's hit production machine was digitising our delights with the sounds of ABC, Dollar and even the Appalachian hip-hop of Malcolm McLaren's Buffalo Gals. Seventies survivors such as Hot Chocolate, Roxy Music, ABBA, Marvin Gaye and others were upping their game and embracing - gasp - synthesisers! And you know what, it was sounding and looking (thanks to glossy videos) AMAZING.And across the pond in the US of A? Well, we were importing them our own brand of fabulous pop and they were sending us ROCK in the form of Steve Miller, Survivor and J Geils - but even that was, well, shiny and new. What was indeed going on?To quote Smash Hits (snip!) editor David Hepworth, there were, he said, “no patterns” to pop in 1982. Join chief editor of electrictyclub.co.uk Chi Ming Lai and author of 1984: The Year Pop Went Queer Ian Wade as we dive back into a fascinating twelve months of pop as chronicled in the NOW Yearbook 1982. Amongst many other things, discover which star(s) were upsetting the Musician's Union, find out more about the language of Smash Hits and how we need it more than ever, why old was the new New, learn about the NEXT BIG genre that you need in your life (Elegant Futurism!), why Germany was giving us EVERYTHING, and discover what Haysi Fantaysee were really up to on TOTP (if you dare!).The 1982 Yearbook - Hi Fidelity indeed!

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 15ú lá de mí Iúil, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1988 bhí an stocmhalartán Éireannach I mbaol tit má theipeann an táthcheangal. I 2005 d'aontaigh an Taoiseach agus na cheardchumainn go raibh airgeadh a chaitheamh ar na seirbhísí mar thosaíocht anois. I 2001 nuacht iontach do na mion-iománaithe Tiobraid Árann mar gur bhuaigh siad I gcoinne Corcaigh I bPáirc Uí Chaoimh. Bhuaigh siad 1-13 go dtí 1-6 agus lá speisialta a bhí ann do gach duine. I 2009 thug siad cead pleanála chuig an chomhlacht taobh thiar den fhorbairt Sustainable Projects Ireland Ltd. Fuair siad an cead pleanála chun brú éiceabhách agus ionad foghlama I Cloughjordan. Sin Hot Chocolate le So You Win Again – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1977 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1972 shroich Elton John uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena halbam Honky Chateau agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh cúig sheachtain. Bhí sé a chéad albam a chuaigh chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá. Tháinig dhá amhrán ón albam amach mar singil, Rocket Man agus Honkey Cat. I 2000 mharaíodh leantóir Oasis nuair a rinne sé iarracht siúil abhaile ar an M61 sa Manchain tar éis a chan Oasis ag an stad Reebok. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Olly Alexander sa Bhreatain I 1990 agus rugadh aisteoir Iain Armitage I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 2008 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 15th of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1988: the irish stock exchange was facing slump if takeover bids failed. 2005: Taoiseach and unions agreed that spending money on services was now priority. 2001- Tipperary minor hurlers danced for joy after the final whistle sounded in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, after they scored a stunning victory over hot favourites Cork. Winning on a score of 1-13 to Corks 1-6, it was a special day for the minors and their families.   2009 - THE company behind the development of Sustainable Projects Ireland Ltd, where Ireland's first co-village in Cloughjordan is, were granted planning permission to build a new Eco-hostel and learning centre on the site.  That was Hot Chocolate with So You Win Again – the biggest song on this day in 1977 Onto music news on this day In 1972 Elton John started a five week run at No.1 on the US album chart with his fifth studio album, "Honky Chateau." The album, which marked the British artist's first US chart topper. Two the tracks from the album, "Rocket Man" and "Honkey Cat," were released as singles. 2000 An Oasis fan was killed when he tried to walk home along the M61 motorway in Manchester, England after Oasis had played a sold-out gig at The Reebok stadium. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Olly Alexander was born in the UK in 1990 and actor Iain Armitage was born in America on this day in 2008 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

This week's episode exemplifies the difference between Neil and Dave.Neil reads the British Journal of Psychology to research his incredible facts. Dave reads the paper in which he got his fish and chips.Nevertheless, Dave‘s fishy facts will wow you but not as much as the story of the Irish man who named a fruit and invented hot chocolate. Neil reveals how the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola remained the same for more than 70 years and greatly excited Dave with his talk of 40-foot container standardisation. Add to this the sexual tension of a seed travelling through an armadillo's alimentary canal and you've got yourself an episode.To listen to Dave on the radio check outhttps://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732 To see Neil on his current tour check outhttps://www.neildelamere.com/britain-achilles-neil-tour-datesPresented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave MooreEdited by Nicky RyanMusic by Dave MooreArtwork by Ray McDonnell Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever felt confused or conflicted about organic food labels? I know I've said something like if I have to choose between organic from far away and in plastic, or local, I'd choose local; and I'm sure I've had dirty looks. It's just gotten confusing. And it costs almost half as much as regular foods, so I've wondered if its really better... So this week I'm talking to Linley Dixon of The Real Organic Project, to help us (me) better understand what it all means.Linley works for The Real Organic Project, and also is the Co-Host of The Real Organic Project podcast AND is a small organic farmer, so I feel like we're in capable hands. The Real Organic Project is an extra certification that is free, once the USDA Organic certification is attained. And Linley explains that for us so well!I love Linley's stories of working into her current farm - as I'm in a similar search, I was glued to her words. The Real Organic Project website has a database of growers they work with that you can look up your area to see who's participating - that's very helpful.Her message she hopes you'll take away: "how to find good food and grow good food for yourself."Check out https://realorganicproject.org/ and the podcast with the same name to learn ALL about organic food!Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Two the tracks from the album, "Rocket Man" and "Honkey Cat," were released as singles. 2000 An Oasis fan was killed when he tried to walk home along the M61 motorway in Manchester, England after Oasis had played a sold-out gig at The Reebok stadium. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Olly Alexander was born in the UK in 1990 and actor Iain Armitage was born in America on this day in 2008 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

I'm sneaking in an extra episode because it's summer, and this is about sunscreen, so hopefully it's not publishing too late for you--Arielle Moody is the CEO/Founder of Mama Sol Sunscreen, and she said within 2 weeks of the launch, she was featured on Access Hollywood, which catapulted Mama Sol's sales. She has several awards and honors for best product! She says a tagline is "if sunscreen and a spa day had a baby, it would be Mama Sol." I love so much that she says her sunscreen has a light lavender scent, and Arielle tells us the reason for that. Arielle talks about the differences between sunscreen types and the strengths, ingredients we should definitely be careful about, and what makes hers stand out. She also talks about how often we should be using sunscreen (hint: it's every day of the year!) and why. She also talks about the packaging, she uses, and why, even though they're not plastic, she doesn't put the recycle symbol on all of her packaging - and gives an important recycling tip for ALL of us.Mama Sol's website: https://www.shopmamasol.com/  Arielle has very generously offered a 15% discount to Grounded in Maine listeners - use code Groundedmama15You can find Mama Sol on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/shopmamasol/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

A chocoholics dream, a competition to create a unique hot chocolate drink. The Sweet as Hutt Hot chocolate challenge was started in 2015 by the Hutt City council to help regenerate the city centre and coax people out during the cold months. This year there are 13 finalists, including the mid winter'd, gingerbread flavoured with hints of cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla bean, as well as the "squirrell swirl", salted caramel with smooth peanut butter and snack sized snickers bars on the side. The winner is decided by a public vote and a panel of judges. One of those judges, Toby Sanderson spoke to Lisa Owen.

Lauren Connolly is a person I relate to so much. She had me as a guest on her podcast Wildly Unplug, because we found out that we both recharge by being outside. Lauren has a very personal story about burnout, and how turning to nature brought her the fulfillment she was needing. She is an artist; she paints and is a photographer, a podcaster, and now she's added Author to the list of accomplishments! Her book is called Wildly Unplug, just like the podcast. She says about her book: "Wildly Unplug — A Creative Guide to Reconnecting with Nature, which offers inspiration, journaling prompts, and simple ways to unplug from the digital world and reconnect with what truly matters. It's a journey of overcoming burnout by reconnecting with nature through art, nature journaling, and conservation work. How slowing down to observe and create deepens our connection to the natural world and becomes a powerful tool for healing."Lauren's message she hopes you'll take away: "You don't have to move off-grid or grow all your own food to reconnect with the natural world. Small, intentional acts—like picking up a paintbrush, journaling your observations, or simply sitting quietly outside—can ground you, reconnect you to the land, and remind you that you're part of nature, not separate from it."You can find Lauren's work on her website: https://wilddevelopmentsstudio.com/She's also on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilddevelopmentsstudio/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Be Your Own Shaman is the title of Jane Barlow Christensen's book she co-authored with her son, teaching people how to identify, harvest and use the medicinal plants found all around us. It is beautiful, hard cover book, full of pictures to make identifying as easy as possible.Jane talks about how her own father taught her and her siblings to recognize and appreciate the plants that are often already available in our yards to help support the human body. She tells a story about riding in the car with the family, and her dad pulling the car over and getting everyone out of the vehicle to show them a plant on the side of the road - I have the best vision of this in my head!I'm so interested in all herbalist work, and it's exciting to learn about the medicinal plants in our own yard growing wild, and the ones that are considered "weeds" by many. Jane's book talks about the best time to harvest and best ways to use the plants, which is super interesting! I encourage anyone who is even remotely interested in medicinal/helpful plants, to check out this book and episode - Jane has studied plants her entire life, and has so much wisdom to share.You can find Jane's website here; there's also an online catalog of herbal supports and supplements: https://barlowherbal.com/She's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/barlowherbal/She's also on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/barlowherbal/On Thursdays Jane does a special segment on Youtube, but has a TON of helpful stuff here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtq9uAZnU8ay7y2e8Xl2mGQYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

If you're interested in the group, you can find info about it and join on the website easily."Intentional, Eco-conscious choices create a ripple effect of goodness." "It's too easy to get overwhelmed - too much information, too many "shiny object" vying for our attention (and our dollars). Change starts with small. Change starts with where you are NOW, move slowly and at your own pace to where you want to be."These are both her quotes. Lisa was so easy to talk to, and just oozes service to the earth.

This is a Vintage Selection from 2007The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys talk with John Scharffenberger about his premium line of chocolate which is the first “bean to bar” chocolate made in the United States. John talks about the history, sourcing and the crucial details in creating some of the finest chocolate in the world!The Inside TrackThe Guys were fans of John's sparkling wine and are fans of his chocolate. This is how John describes his on-the-job training after his career shift. “ I think we were just stupid when we started and the only way we knew how to do things were the way I had done things in the wine business [which] was just to be really careful about flavor. So we treated the beans like we used to treat grapes. We did blind tastings, we did lots of blind tastings, and only accepted beans that had flavors that we liked,” John Scharffenberger on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2007BioJohn Scharffenberger started Scharffenberger Cellars known for their world-class California sparkling wine. He left the winery and started Scharffen Berger Chocolates in 1997 with Robert Steinberg. InfoJohn's cookbookEssence of Chocolate: Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine ChocolateBy John Scharffenberger and Rober SteinbergScharffen Berger Chocolate is no longer owned by John Scharffenberger and Robert Steinberg.

I had so much fun, and learned a ton from this conversation with Greg Peterson of the Great American Seed Up and the Urban Farm Podcast! If you've been listening for a while, you know that podcasters are great conversationalists, and can be very entertaining - Greg is no exception! Greg's podcast has about 900 (nine hundred!) episodes since the end of 2015!Greg has been on a mission since he was 15 years old to figure out how to fix the broken food system, and has been running the Great American Seed Up out of Arizona for several years; kind of like a buffet for seeds - thousands of people attend in person each year, to stock up on seeds. He says seeds are expensive to buy when you buy from a store, mostly because of the pretty packaging, so they simplify it, and you can buy in bulk. *You can also mail order seeds, FYI* In my head, I've been trying to imagine what the event looks like, to have bulk seeds for thousands of shoppers...The first soundbite I posted to promote this episode gave me chills - he said this: "I am the person on the planet responsible for transforming our global food system." WOW! And this is the message he hopes you will take away from this conversation: "The most important thing that we can be doing right now is figuring out where our food comes from and how to grow our own. And that starts with having seeds and knowledge to grow food." He also says that 20% of our gardens should include pollinator-friendly plants - that's a great piece to start with!You can find all things Greg Peterson at https://www.urbanfarm.org/ and https://greatamericanseedup.org/They're also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/urbanfarmu?igsh=MXZpNzhmbzdrd3Nndg%3D%3DYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

When Sam Baker approached me about talking about the product he represents, worm casting tea, and also mentioned that WiggleBrew has tested and discovered that earthworms can actually "EAT PLASTIC," it was a no-brainer- I couldn't wait to hear more about that! As a big fan of worm compost (vermicompost), I was very excited to promote the crap (pun intended) out of WiggleBrew, and Sam didn't disappoint. He was talking to me from an Agriculture conference in Chicago, where he presented WiggleBrew, and mentioned he felt over dressed, because he wore a business suit, and the others were dressed more comfortably. But I hope the folks there really heard him like I did- "A team of recent college grads is making a fertilizer from worm poop that row crop farmers are using instead of the toxic stuff. Along the way, they discovered that earthworm microbes can also be used to break down plastic!"This feels like game changing information to me - I mean, the real game changer would be less plastic being produced, of course, but to have earthworms eat it, and then produce fertilizer?? WHOA--From WriggleBrew's website: "it's not all poop jokes and worms over here- there's a more serious reason we're doing this all- more serious than saving habitats. Malnutrition that stems from mineral fertilizer use on crops makes up about 4% of child deaths around the world right now. Mineral fertilizers, like a certain TikTok famous houseplant fertilizer, does not let plants uptake (eat) the micronutrients that we humans need from our food: like zinc, iron, and magnesium. Makes the plants more susceptible to disease too."Check out WriggleBrew's website: https://www.wrigglebrew.com/Find them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wrigglebrew/and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PRAGWriggleBrewYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPzJEBVwHWJzbmc15QN5TcQand on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wrigglebrew_officialYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

What is altruism? And is there a particular personality type that naturally delivers acts of kindness to others? Award-winning health and science journalist Nicole Karlis looks at the type of people who are more than happy to help. 

It's been a while since I've done a solo episode, and there's a lot to catch up on! I changed my last name, for one - literally the day I recorded this with Jen.I've got a weekly newsletter - it's not long, and it's not a sales pitch - literally just keeping in touch. Social media algorithms are wonky, and are not our own, and I would definitely miss people if we lost them! I deleted my Facebook account because I was seeing less of what I wanted it for daily.I want to buy a farm; I attached a Substack that woke the dream I've had for over 20 years toward the bottom here, but this is something I've wanted to do since I was in my 20s, and now I feel called to reimagine and make it happen. I'm looking for suggestions for funding, since properties are ridiculously expensive now, and looking for people to farm WITH, and for properties to consider - really wanting New England, where I belong... I brought my friend Jen Ross along with me because she has an excellent podcast called The Agritourist, and I've learned a ton from her and her guests, and have gained so much inspiration - I HIGHLY recommend it (link below for Spotify)! She used to have a farm, and is planning to do so again - she's also a martketig WIZ! She and I have been sort of daydreaming ideas, and things are sort of starting to fall into place, so I thought it was fitting to do this with her.Jen's podcast The Agritourist is available here: https://open.spotify.com/show/7fPesgSO98MPi2x275g0Wj?si=a391aa71a42b4e1eYou can follow Jen on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/heartbeetfarms/My Newsletter (sign up for updates, and keep in touch!): https://amy-fagan.kit.com/499688fe6aThe Substack that woke up my farming dream by Alexandra Fasulo is here: https://houseofgreen.substack.com/p/one-of-the-biggest-wealth-transfers?triedRedirect=trueYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

This insightful conversation aims to help us all find balance, efficiency, and joy in our daily lives.The message Mark wants us all to remember from this conversation if. nothing else: "Spend your time on what matters most."You can find all things Mark at his website here: https://www.getmoredone.comHe's also on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markellwood1/You can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

I had a whole different idea of where this conversation would go with Geeta Sidhu-Robb, and I am thrilled to have been wrong about that! I was so happily surprised at the direction, talking about taking your power back, and how menopause is a GIFT to women, because for possibly the first time in our lives, we are forced to put our own needs first - and that was definitely not a thought I had about menopause...Not too long ago Geeta was a newly divorced mom of 3, homeless without a solid plan. Today she is the Founder of WCorp, helping businesses worldwide to certify as supportive to women in many aspects, and has now spoken at the United Nations TWICE and won an award as a thought leader and empowerment coach!Geeta also hosts a podcast called Activate Yourself, and it's nice to have her voice more available to keep in the empowered frame of mind. I am such a big fan of Geeta now!I just loved this conversation, and I couldn't wait to share this with you!You can find Geeta on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/geetasidhurobb/She's also on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geetasidhu/She has her own membership called WComm (just $1/month!): https://www.wcomm.world/offers/TZpyLnPs/checkoutIf you want your business to become WCorp Certified, learn more here: https://www.wcorporation.org/start?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacIhCfhbyr6pQXVGHeRUGmUUhQoeGj4lEUIogceOPUc65mdYF4G_rp1xerGzg_aem_OREzjnrYU-R1qRLSZ9IpKgYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

After speaking with Dr Marlene Siegel, more than ever, I want to clone her and help every caring pet parent get the best possible health care for their fur and feathered babies. If you're a pet parent like me, you've probably wondered from time to time if you're giving the best care to your pet. Dr Siegel will set things straight, from her 40 years of experience studying and treating different animals, and heartbreaking and heart warming stories. Dr Siegel always knew she would work with animals, but didn't expect what happened when her daughter was young on her horse to change her veterinary practice forever. Her business (she sells food and supplements because it may be hard for some of us depending on where we live) is called EvoLove Adventures, and you can find all her offerings and education on her website below.Dr Siegel grows her own food forest to offer the healthiest, cleanest, most nutritionally dense foods to her own family - animals included, and explains what she's growing, and why we should be, too. She talks about the chemicals and contaminants in our food and WATER that we take in, and the virtually 100% cancer rates as well as other health issues in pets, and how we can avoid the heartbreak with her 6 Keys to Health and Healing Pets Naturally (free E Book available on the website!) and her Empowered Pet Parents Course.The message she wants people to take from this: "There is a proven path to healing. The Empowered Pet Parent Course gives you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take back control of your pet's health.  Address the Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms. Support detoxification. Reduce inflammation. Build resilience."Learn more about Dr Marlene Siegel at her website:https://drmarlenesiegel.com/You can get tips and stories on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarlenesiegel/Or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMarleneSiegelHolisticVetYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

I loved meeting Brittany Hansen so much; it was such a gift spending time with her because she is a very well-rounded person! Brittany lives in Idaho with her spouse and children on 1/3 acre, and she is homesteading - or as she calls it Micro-homesteading, but it is totally effective! And some cool tips for city folks were shared, because she is using every inch of space, and has created a sharing community where she is, so she can access locally grown or made items, and offer some in return. We get to learn about raising QUAIL! I've heard of quail here and there, but have I actually seen a quail? Nope. Tasted their eggs? Nope again. Brittany's kids have an allergy to chicken eggs, and learned that quail eggs can be a good option, so she is raising her own quail to feed her family! (Check out my promo posts for this episode, because Brittany shared pictures with me!) I've been told since talking with her that quail might be a way around zoning with chickens, too...Brittany is immersed in the sustainability world - She is Co-Owner of Viiision, which, my understanding, is like a PR for companies to share their transparency of sustainability progress so that customers will see them to support them (Brittany, please correct me if I'm too far off!).AND, since we talked, she has started her own podcast, called "Who's Going to Fix This?" Talking about world issues, and who is taking the steps to make change happen. Brilliant! Only a couple of episodes in, and I'm hooked!Brittany's message she wants you to remember from our conversation: "If we want to change the world we have to lead with that change. If you want more sustainability adopt little changes that interweave that into your life until it becomes a part of you." I feel like if anyone walks the walk, it's Brittany.You can find Brittany on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-a-hansen/Or on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/harp.strings/Find her business Viiision here https://viiision.com/You can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

04-10-25 The Bizarre File #1801 Pallbearers fell into the grave as the platform collapsed during a funeral. An 81-year-old is stuck in Puerto Rico because the airline won’t allow her pet parrot on board. A drunk man was arrested for causing a disturbance outside an Apple Bees.The parents of a four-year-old boy who shot himself were arrested for first degree assault and animal cruelty. The Coast Guard found the lost Hot Chocolate sailboat. All that and more in the Bizarre File!

I love so much that there are people in the fashion world who find fault with it, and have ideas how it could be made better - Victoria Scholz is that person, and her opinions feel so spot on to me - at least, a lot of the things she talks about are things I've noticed and wish someone would fix.Victoria's brand is called House of Dodos, and she just a couple of weeks ago completed her Masters in Sustainable Fashion. She's learning a lot about the history of fashion, and also finding ways she would change it.The message she hopes you'll take from this conversation: "Together we can change fashion, through fashion we can change the world."You can find Victoria on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-scholz-36366b106/And she's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/vcnscholz/You can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

Dr. Don - not risky

I briefly met Alyce Rose/AKA Ms Thrifty Rose/AKA Auntie Outside this January at Podfest, and I saw a post of hers where she advertised her 1st Wednesday Thrift Nic, and my podcaster radar alarm sounded - I had to hear more about this thrifting business - and boy did I! Alyce is CONNECTED, and she has an energy that you just want to be around - and she makes things happen!I just love Alyce's attitude that she doesn't worry about what others think. Her message she wants you to remember her for: "Do YOU your Way." Alyce shares her journey of creating her businesses, Ms. Thrifty Rose and Auntie Outside, and how they are interconnected. She discusses her approach to live sales, the creation of Thrift Nic events in Jacksonville, FL, and her philosophy on sustainability and confidence. Alyce also touches on her podcast, Auntie Outside, which addresses important community topics. Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the importance of focusing on oneself, embracing community, and the joy of giving items a second life.This was a super fun conversation, and it was so great to hear how much thrifting is embraced in the Jacksonville area!You can find Alyce on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msthriftyrose/She's also on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@msthriftyrose?lang=enYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

Russ Ballard is back on VRP Rocks! In this exclusive interview, the legendary singer, songwriter, and musician talks to Paul about his brand new double album Songs from the Warehouse: The Hits Rewired. Russ opens up about the creative process behind 13 brand-new tracks written during lockdown, including the powerful and emotional “Courageous,” and shares insight into how he reimagined 13 of his biggest hits – from “Since You've Been Gone” and “I Surrender” to “New York Groove” and “Voices.” Hear never-before-shared stories about working on songs that became hits for the likes of Rainbow, KISS, Hot Chocolate, Uriah Heep, and more. Plus, the fascinating origins of “Voices” and how it ended up on Miami Vice, the story behind Ace Frehley's hit version of “New York Groove,” and what it's like for Russ to revisit the songs that made him a rock legend. If you're a fan of classic rock and great songwriting, this is one you don't want to miss.

I found Clara Franken in a podcast newsletter, and started listening that morning to her podcast, Travel Devil, and the first episode I listened to was about the Trash Traveler; a man who travels and brings attention to himself by cleaning up the area, and I knew I wanted to hear all about what else she's learned hosting a podcast all about sustainable travel.Clara lives in Germany, but is from Belgium, so she travels a lot, but she mostly travels by train, or "slow" travel, as she calls it. And she explains why. And she really walks the walk, and it shows, as the week prior to this episode airing, she's  featured on a billboard at the train station in Leipzig! (she has yet to see it with her own eyes - not for lack of trying - but her friend has seen it!)I love Clara's Instagram reels - she's very committed to sustainability, and she's also very entertaining! It was fun hearing how creative people are getting with their traveling from her.Clara's Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/clarafrancken/And her awesome Travel Devil podcast Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/traveldevilpod/You can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

Y'all, this is very personal, and I'm so happy to have some of my closest friends join me to chat up our special place, Growing to Give. Growing to Give is a climate-friendly, volunteer-driven, nonprofit farming operation in Brunswick, Maine, that grows certified-organic vegetables for donation. I invited my friends Karin Sorensen, Robin Knight and Mary Aveno to help me to chat up our favorite non-profit where we all had the honor of helping to grow organic produce to donate to local food pantries to offer some highly nutritious produce to our less food secure neighbors. We all met there, and became fast friends, and more like family in the same purpose. We missed each other when we were absent, and celebrated every day we were together, and we did some great work (they still do, but Karin and I moved away), and have helped to grow and donate over 100,000 lbs of food! There are several other volunteers at Growing to Give - too many to gather for an episode and everyone get a word in, but that's how the magic happens.Growing to Give began as a dream of property owners Patty Carton and John Newlin in 2015, and 2017 was the first year officially growing, and Robin and I were the first 2 volunteers with Theda, the OG Farm Manager, with 1 Rimol greenhouse, and now it's a well-oiled machine of hundreds of volunteers annually, several hoop houses for growing, as well as farm skills workshops, elderberry workshops, and an annual Farmyard Jam fundraiser. It's a very special place of fun, healing and family. Please check out Growing to Give here: https://growingtogive.farm/They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/growingtogivemaine/?hl=enAnd on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/GrowingtoGive/You can register as a volunteer, join the board, see upcoming events, sign up to receive the newsletter, or donate to this special cause.Also check out Podcasthon here to see so many other worthy causes to support: https://podcasthon.orgSee some great content highlighting podcasts and causes on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/podcYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

I have to say, I was so impressed with myself for getting through this conversation with sensation in my toes - I'm a total baby talking about blood and stuff, and I expected to have a hard time with it, but I was too interested to get queasy, I guess. Even the 2nd time listening to edit, it was still so fascinating! Feeling very lucky that Melissa Meadow crossed my Instagram feed. This opened my eyes to a ton of new information that's available.Melissa Meadow started her career early, and has been in the funeral home business since she was very young, evolved into being a mortician, and has tons of wisdom to share that we might not know about. I had only heard the phrase green burial in the last few months - let alone water cremation and others... AND I thought that cremation was more environmentally friendly than burying a whole body, because it took up more space - boy was I wrong about that!This is why I wanted to have Melissa on the podcast; in her words: "There are options that are better for the environment and align with those wanting transparency and options." I love that she shared so many new options! Have you already made plans for when you die? I had when my mom passed away, but that was in Maine, where I don't live anymore, so I have to plan again- and now I have more information to make a more informed decision. It may sound morbid, but it's an important topic, I think. The more you have planned out, the less traumatic your death will be - speaking from some experience...I hope you take some good info away from this conversation - I know I did!You can find Melissa at her website https://www.themodernmortician.com/ (there are so many helpful resources here!)Her Instagram page, where I found her, is both fascinating and entertaining: https://www.instagram.com/the_modern_morticianShe's also on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_modern_morticianAnd lastly on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@The_Modern_MorticianYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.

Do you know about Solar Thermal energy?? I didn't, either; I've heard of solar panels, solar farms, Community Solar... but not solar thermal. Enter Dan Razumovski, of Sun Catch Solar Thermal, out of Colorado! This might be more of a business or farm purchase- they're pricy, and take up a good amount of space, but it's a newer technology- and it's very cool! It stores electricity, so that if power goes out, you can still power your home for a week!If you're interested in solar thermal, though, Dan's company will help you to fill out grant applications and apply for tax breaks for updating, which, I could be wrong, but I haven't heard that many companies offer this service.Sun Catch website to learn more is here: https://sun-catch.com/Here's a video from the company that shows the solar thermal product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkw2d-Sw4UcThey're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/suncatchltd/And on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/suncatch-ltd/You can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.
