Podcasts about humanure

With the release of their Metal Blade Records debut, Cattle Decapitation seemed focused on creating an album more akin to their death metal predecessors on To Serve Man. However, an evolution would occur over the next few years that would set them apart from the many trends in metal and hardcore throughout this time. It was clear that the band's technical prowess and songwriting ability had grown by leaps and bounds on Humanure. The band would take this growth and fine tune it into a career highlight on Karma.Bloody.Karma. In 2009 we received The Harvest Floor: a modern death metal classic as well as the beginning of what was to come…  Recommendations: Tomb Mold - The Enduring Spirit Blood Incantation - Luminescent Bridge Baroness - STONE Suffocation - "Seraphim Enslavement" Myrkur - "Mothlike" Gridlink - Coronet Juniper Exhumed - Gore Metal (2023 Remaster) For all updates on the show, follow us here: @distortion891 on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tune in LIVE to Vocal Distortion, Mondays at 6PM CST on FM89, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WONC.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, & the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart Radio app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ RIFFS ON REPEAT PLAYLIST: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37W4wEyb5ELf2y0YYlhRy2?si=8529ae1e880d442c⁠

For most of us, when we sit on the porcelain throne to drop the deuce, priority number one is flushing and never having to think about it again. But it might be time to rethink our stink: all around the world, people are talking about using human waste for good, applying it as fertilizer to grow our food instead of just washing it down the miles of pipes that undergird urban sewage systems. "Ew" is a common response, along with "yuck!" Is using poop to grow food a good idea—or even safe? We're getting our shit together to find out! On this episode of Gastropod, how human waste went from being so valuable you could go to jail for stealing it, to causing such a stench it shut down Parliament in Victorian London and led to the invention of the modern sewage system—and why figuring out how to start saving our poop (and pee!) once again could give us cleaner energy, healthier waterways, and lots of delicious food.

As a founder and co-producer of one of the largest and oldest Burning Man events, Monique Shiess has a lot going on. AfrikaBurn does too. Started in 2007, it averages 10,000 participants annually in recent years. Monique shares its origins with Stuart and Andie. From the EDM scene, gallery spaces, queer community, and producers of “weird gatherings,” they birthed AfrikaBurn with roots in anarchy, trickster energy and hippie-dom. They explore how to be welcoming, not just radically inclusive, in the aftermath of Apartheid, and the context of global trends, on the land of indigenous people.Then there's the fun part. Monique says that play is the vector for changing the world by accessing aspects of yourself that go dormant in the default world, and that all Burn movements have paradigm shifting potential while also having a ton of fun with “the best humans that exist.”www.afrikaburn.orgAfrikaBurn (Wikipedia)Practising Imagining (TEDx Cape Town)Events Change Lives: AfrikaBurn Legacy Case Study

This week, making his second appearance on the podcast, is my guest Charles Dowding. Charles is the leading proponent worldwide of No Dig gardening. He's authored and co-authored many books and articles on the subject, including his latest book No Dig which is the result of 40 years experience and looks set to become the definitive text on the subject. He produces enough food to sell to local restaurants and inhabitants, to feed all his course attendees and visitors and also his own household from his plot which until recently has only been a quarter of an acre in size, proving categorically that no-dig equals maximum productivity. He is a prolific generator of media content, his YouTube channel has over 55 million views and he's bought the no-dig technique to a worldwide audience.  Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Spider silk What We Talk About How Charles got started out in gardening Why do we need compost for no-dig and is it essential to create our own? No dig techniques on different types of soils Giving the beds a year off (or not) and crop rotation No-dig and plant pests and diseases Why every last gardener in the UK hasn't adopted no-dig! About Charles Dowding Charles Dowding is the leading proponent of no-dig gardening. Not only does he have a huge following, but his advice is born out of more than 40 years of growing, analysing, comparing, and recommending. He has been growing veg since 1981, having gardened in four different locations and grown hundreds of thousands of crops. Charles currently gardens his modestly sized plot Homeacres, in Somerset, from which he produces enough food to sell to local restaurants and inhabitants, to feed all his course attendees and visitors and also his own household. He is a prolific generator of media content and has bought the no-dig technique to a worldwide audience.  Links No Dig: Nurture Your Soil to Grow Better Veg with Less Effort by Charles Dowding - Dorling Kindersley, September 2022  www.charlesdowding.co.uk Other episodes if you liked this one: Feeding your Soil with Humanure with Joseph Jenkins Growing Food with Stephanie Hafferty Patreon Membership

In this podcast we are talking about dedicated service to one's community. Samson Mahalia is a Kenyan man and CEO of a nonprofit there called Humanure. Samson has also worked with Habitat for Humanity and the Africa Yoga Project. He came to our attention because he visits Bend annually with Namapsa Yoga and Massage to teach yoga and raise funds for Humanure.Humanure makes and distributes composting toilets in the rural areas of Kenya in schools and other places. The toilets save water, protect the water supply from contamination, and the compost is used to grow vegetables and other plants. Our interview with Samson was recorded last week.You will love Samson's great spirit, commitment to service and enthusiasm for his life's callings. It's a refreshing story in what is becoming a bit of a cynical and despairing time.KPOV High Desert Community Radio is a listener-supported, volunteer-powered community radio station that broadcasts at 88.9 FM and online at www.kpov.org.

I stumbled across a book called The Humanure Handbook: Shit in a Nutshell and of course, I had to buy a copy. I've long thought that if we're aiming towards a closed system within our gardens then our own waste needs to be factored into the equation so I was intrigued to find out what the book's author Joseph C Jenkins had to say on the matter. What I didn't expect was the book to be one of those that slaps you in the face with facts and makes you question the whole way you've lived your life, in this case in relation to loos and their contents. Not only does Joe comprehensively explain how you can take the contents of your loo and compost it along with your garden waste so that you have a clean and useful product that can be used on everything from vegetables to houseplants, he will make you wonder why you ever thought the alternative of flushing it away was a sensible, viable option. There is so much I wanted to cover with Joe and we only scratched the surface of the subject in this interview. I urge you to get the book and think about the issue of how we deal with waste, it's a vitally important environmental issue. Dr Ian Bedford's Bug of the Week: Eating insects What we cover The background to Joe's work on composting toilet waste and his book, The Humanure Handbook In order to put back what we take out of the soil, we need to be reusing our waste as well as all household and garden waste - how can this work in practice? Is a flushing toilet the holy grail of comfort and civilised living for all?

This episode is all about turning our biggest waste into our most precious resource. Humanure is basically the science behind composting toilets. A compost toilet requires no water, plumbing, pipes, vents, drains, electricity, or urine separation. It's a toilet that makes gardens. It's designed to collect toilet material for composting in a separate location. This 11 minute video provides a brief overview on the toilet and the processes. You can read the whole book in our course library for free if you are member. Otherwise check it out here https://humanurehandbook.com/ for the past 14 year we have been using simple compost toilets to transform l humanure into amazing compost. I would highly recommend it and we have had way less problems then our council approved liquid system that using electricity, pumps, water and costs thousands and requires twice yearly maintenance, compared to the static, zero water, zero problem zero cost system we have used and so have hundreds of our staff, guests, trainees and clients. Compost toilets can provide a sanitation solution when water or electricity are not available, or when you simply want to make more compost or less environmental pollution. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shambhalaliving/message

It's all about poop this week on Sustainability Now!, as your host, Justin Mog, brings you a talk by Dr. Nicholas Kawa, entitled "The Other Side of Our Food System: The Use of Human Waste as an Agricultural Resource.” Dr. Kawa is an anthropologist from Ohio State University, and his 2020 talk was hosted by UofL's Department of Anthropology. Prior to industrialization, human excrement was commonly employed as a resource for agricultural fertilization. Following the advent of the hydraulic sanitation system, however, it became increasingly channeled into waterways rather than reincorporated into terrestrial agro-ecosystems. To counter this trend, more and more cities in the US are looking to treated sanitation waste, or “biosolids,” as a sustainable source of agricultural fertilizer. This presentation reports on a collaboration between Ohio State faculty and students in anthropology, architecture, and landscape architecture to design and implement a demonstration garden that makes legible the hidden processes by which human waste is transformed into an agricultural resource in the American Midwest. Ultimately, this presentation considers both the limits and possibilities of challenging social taboos surrounding human waste and the implications it has for our food system. Dr. Kawa's talk was hosted at the University of Louisville by the Anthropology Department on February 26th, 2020.

Hello everyone, and happy new year. I'm excited to start this year's series of podcasts with a conversation with my friend Arthur Davis, director of the Urine Nutrient Reclamation Project at the Rich Earth Institute and coordinator of Rich Earth's new festival toilet business. Rich Earth uses human urine to create sustainable fertilizer for farmers.  Long time listeners will have heard us talk about the Humanure system we use for our off-grid campuses, but Rich Earth has taken that philosophy and moved it to a community scale, and are the first in the US to do so. This not only means ecologically friendly fertilizer but far fewer waste nutrients in the local water supply. The work their doing is really fascinating and involves some really interesting chemistry. Talking with Arthur was a lot of fun, as he could easily communicate the concepts behind what Rich Earth is doing, as well as the day to day of an operation that collects urine on a community scale. We also touched on a few other sustainable waste management approaches, and how they influenced Arthur's interest in sustainability.

Mr. Joe Jenkins is the author of Humanure Handbook according to his website when he turned his masters thesis into the non-fiction Humanure Handbook and published it in 1995 the first edition of the book developed a life of its own somehow, and has gone on to sell 70,000 copies so far and be translated in whole or in part into 19 languages over four editions. The 4th edition, subtitled "shit in a nutshell," and completely revised and updated, was released in April 2019. Joe works with NGOs, private consulting firms, government entities, and aid agencies…sometimes paid, sometimes as a volunteer to provide composting as a solution to the billions of people worldwide with an ecological, sanitary, inexpensive, and revolutionary toilet solution. Joe works often with GiveLove.org.” And can be reached at Humanurehandbook.com

Blackwater is filled with nutrients. Flushing those nutrients away is like flushing away free fertilizer! But blackwater can also be very dangerous, so we need to deal with it safely. There are many different strategies that one can use. This podcast explores two of those strategies that can work extremely well if done right.For more about the book, which goes further into this topic, visit buildingabetterworldbook.com.

Ever wanted to know what it's like to live in a tiny house? One word: Humanure. Ever wanted to know WHO lives in a tiny house? Three words: This Family Of Six. SIX PEOPLE YOU GUYS!! But, there's more! We sit down with Katrina Christensen, mother to three (with one on the way so ok maybe a family of 5.5 at the moment) doula, home schooler, and wait for it - - United Airlines baggage handler - - to talk about living in a tiny house with all. those. people. Somehow, with Katrina, it all makes perfect sense and her chill approach to minimalist living plus her majorly convincing reasons to work for UA part time (free tickets people, lots of them) all seem to work together to make tiny house living a serious consideration. (Moms looking for a side hustle with great benefits...listen to this episode!) Katrina walks us through how they built their adorable home, what it's like for so many people to share one very ingeniously designed bathroom and why they chose a house on wheels. Also we grill her about sex in a tiny loft, obviously.

After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born. The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out.

This week on the NOFA/Mass podcast it’s a total shit show! I mean for real, we are talking all things poop, turds and more as Caro and I discuss the process of making compost from our own waste. We gross-out and nerd-out on this topic and then get to interview the author of the groundbreaking book The Humanure Handbook Joe Jenkins on how he came to be the expert on excrement.

The Humanure Handbook was something of an accidental literary phenomenon. Joe Jenkins began writing the book as a Master of Science in Sustainable Systems thesis in the early 90s. Not content with academic convention, but fascinated with the topic of humanure composting, Jenkins decided to convert the book’s language into a popular format and self-publish the thesis as a book. The post There’s No Such Thing as a Composting Toilet with Humanure Handbook Author Joe Jenkins – #054 appeared first on The Tiny House.

No one can say that Joe doesn’t know his shit because this guy literally wrote the book on it. And, for as much as we thought we knew about composting and composting toilets, as it turns out; we don’t know crap about it. Joe originally had only 600 copies printed of his first edition, and they sold out faster than his pile out back could compost his beloved pet. Poop or pee, urine or feces, he doesn’t care what you call it; just don’t call your “dry toilet” a composting one. Yes, composting humanure is perfectly legal. No, you can’t just pile it in the corner of your garden and HOPE it decomposes. And, yes, you’ll learn more about this very uncomfortable subject listening to this one conversation than you’ll ever want to know. We promise. Joe literally knows more about shit than almost anybody else on the planet. He didn’t set out to be the authority on all things poop related, but now that he’s sold almost 60,000 copies of his book, we’re thinking that maybe now he’ll reluctantly accept the title of The King Of Crap. This guy’s been using composting as sanitation for over 37 years in the same location. His pile includes everything from humanure to dead animals, layered carefully with organic materials. These efforts then create the perfect cooking temperature which transforms his potentially smelly mess into valuable fertilizer. Surprisingly, he does not separate urine from solid wastes and made us question everything we know about this scientifically heady subject. We were tempted to drop way more poop euphemisms into this show than we did, but rest assured, we wrote them all down. So, grab a cup of Joe, and be prepared to hear nothing but shit for the next 45 minutes.
