Wisconsin potato growers are battling both uncooperative weather and tough market conditions this fall. Prolonged heat delayed harvest across the Midwest, forcing farmers to work overnight to protect crop quality, while the frost now threatens what’s left in the ground. Despite decent yields, prices have fallen under pressure from oversupply and reduced demand. Alsum Farms Manager Ryan Walther, out of Friesland, tells Stephanie Hoff that they’re hoping for a market turnaround soon. Sunshine again today with moderate temps. Stu Muck says there is a sliver of a chance for rain by late in the weekend.10 Wisconsin FFA members are in the final phase of competition for National Proficiency awards in Indianapolis. Tyler Leuch is one of those. This young man from Waunakee says through some 4-H leadership as a kid, he's been able to hone his skills and build a custom clipping business that has earned him a place in Indianapolis.Jill Welke is in Indianapolis visiting with Thad Bergschneider from Illinois. This young man is the current National FFA President. While his term may have started out with all kinds of hopes and goals, things changed when he broke his arm playing basketball. He explains how it forced him to pivot how he shared his FFA messages.The holding pattern continues for dairy traders according to Zach Bauers, dairy analyst with EverAg, joins Pam Jahnke to discuss. Now the market faces increased anxiety over the potential pause in SNAP benefits. Bauer says that program supports a lot of dairy investment by the government. He also notes that MAHA is re-examining the potential for "food boxes" similar to what was distributed during the pandemic. If that would come to pass, it would likely give a lift to dairy at least temporarily.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first of three questions we answered this week, a listener wanted to know some of the influences our hosts Joe and Matt see in WoW from literature, movies, and myth, and they talked about a slew of varied media, from 60s sci-fi (no, not that one, though yes, that one) through comics. There are a lot of cultural touchstones and homages to explore in WoW. They also sort of explored the opposite with a different question, discussing which idea or technology they'd bring from real life into WoW. That one is a bit tricky to answer, because in most fantasy the answer is obviously "a gun," but WoW has those already.Plus, if you could bring back any character in WoW from the dead, which one would you pick and why? Everyone who didn't immediately say Tiffin Wrynn, I'm not mad, just disappointed.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is one of the best depictions of the creative process that I've ever seen, exploring where an artist's ideas come from: those sources, personal and environmental that are processed via one's family history, dreams, desires - and are then delivered through said artist's private relationship with their tools - (in this case the Tascam Portastudio, Echoplex reverb unit, and a water-damaged boombox). I was thrilled by that examination, and by Bruce's steadfast protection of his lo-fi masterpiece when it was being threatened by corporate pressure to compromise. Jeremy Allen White is one of America's finest exemplars of smoldering emotion, and the close ups on Springsteen's anguished face were a tour de force of inner conflict. The protean Stephen Graham as Bruce's complicated monster of a father found vivid expression with just a smattering of dialogue. And, Jeremy Strong - an actor capable of the deepest levels of immersion portrays Bruce's guardian angel of a manager, Jon Landau with such grace, and generous restraint that it made me cry. Kudos to all.The pace is pokey, and I personally could have done without the manufactured love story in which the actress, Odessa Young has the unenviable task of having to deliver clunky exposition, notably when she psychologizes Bruce for us. But, all in all, for a story that chronicles depression and child abuse, the darkness is mitigated by the knowledge that our hero emerges from this crucible to become a happily married family man and cultural hero, and create a timeless work of art. The Splendid Bohemians are honored to feature a couple of tributes to The Boss, which recognize his influence and influences: First, a duet with Bruce and Pete Seeger, the Patron Saint and Johnny Appleseed of folk music, singing Bruce's still relevant- (sadly)- homage to John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath: The Ghost of Tom Joad.  And, we'll close with Ryan Adams' honorable rendition of Nebraska, the title song from those sources which are celebrated in Warren Zanes book and Scott Cooper's film

As Halloween approaches, culture puts darkness on display in costumes, decorations, and entertainment. But the truth is, not all darkness wears a costume. Beneath the surface of our daughters' social media feeds, school hallways, and friend groups, there are subtle yet powerful influences shaping their view of truth, beauty, and even God Himself.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay welcomes Dr. Natalie Atwell—a licensed clinical mental health counselor, professor, and creator of the Mental Warrior course—for an eye-opening conversation about what's really messing with our girls' minds. With over 20 years of experience in mental health and ministry, Dr. Atwell helps us untangle the “weird influences” girls are facing today, from spiritual confusion online to the glamorization of occult practices in mainstream culture.  Together, Patti and Dr. Atwell explore the reality of spiritual warfare, the importance of recognizing when struggles are more than “just mental,” and how Christian moms can discern the unseen battle for their daughters' hearts and minds. They discuss the power of identity in Christ, the Armor of God, and practical steps moms can take this very weekend to reclaim spiritual ground in their homes.  Whether your daughter is scrolling TikTok, questioning spiritual practices, or simply navigating life in a confusing world, this conversation will help you see the hidden battle—and equip you to guide her into the lasting peace of God's truth.  Scripture References in this Episode:  Ephesians 6:10–18 – The Armor of God  John 8:32 – “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  1 Peter 5:8 – “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”  Learn more about Dr. Natalie Atwell's work at mentalwarriorconsulting.com.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

So welcome to the show, Rafael.Rafael 00:00:38  Josh, thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it. What you were saying about finding somebody to help you. it's the best way I found out. I did the exact same thing with my mentors. Is Josh Nelson right here? Okay, so what you're offering is actually very, very, very good. I highly recommend that anybody that's, you know, listen to this. I met Josh in person. Super cool guy. you should definitely at least talk to him.Rafael 00:01:02  maybe you're not ready, but maybe within a month, you know you'll hit the target and you'll be ready to to to, you know, reach out to Josh and he can help you scale your business. But if if somebody has a blueprint, why would you want to, like, go sideways if somebody knows what it's going to happen? He's going to tell you, like, hey, you might run into this and this is what you have to do instead of you bouncing your head against the wall, you know?Josh 00:01:27  So true. Rafael, I guess I need to pay you that $100 now. Slide that under the table there.Rafael 00:01:33  No, this is not paid advertising. In no way whatsoever. It's just that I really I was I was super I am so stubborn that I, when I had my company, I was working for Nickelodeon at the time, and, I was, coordinator for post-production for Latin America. And I'm like, you know, at that time, my ego was just stupid.Rafael 00:01:55  and I was like, no, I don't need anybody's help with this. I can do myself, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm just gonna apply for all the awards. I'm just gonna get all the awards and, you know, blah, blah, blah blah. And at some point I was like, oh my God, I'm really struggling, I need help. And a friend told me, a friend who's very much more successful than me with an agency. He's like, hey, man, I reached my million dollar mark, but I can't. I can't grow anymore. I don't seem to be growing. And he does completely different marketing. He does marketing for cleaning companies. I met this dude, and I really think you should meet him, and, you know, yada yada, yada. And Josh is the the the one of the reason why I went into the Amazon space.Josh 00:02:36  Well, Rafael, you've got a lot of experience obviously, in marketing. I mean, the statistics that you shared that, you know, as you've worked with over 500 different Amazon listings, you've been able to increase sales by 77%.Josh 00:02:50  That's a large amount. What should an Amazon seller or just an e-commerce seller? They're on the on board with you in terms of like they know they need to build a brand, but where do they even begin right to in terms of building out their content? They believe that brands are important. So like where do you start with all of this?Rafael 00:03:09  yes. That's a great question. It's a great, great question. it depends on the at what stage of your Amazon journey you're at. but if, let's say you're a seven figure seller, so you definitely have some, some, some data. even if you're selling an e-commerce or Shopify, you have data there. social media, which are your top followers? The tricky thing is that the the people who buy off of Amazon are not the exact same people who buy somewhere else. So even though you kind of simulate, some of my clients actually have a complete buyer persona on Shopify, then they have on Amazon.Josh 00:03:46  Interesting.Rafael 00:03:47  Yeah, it's super interesting.Rafael 00:03:48  Interesting. So if you have a seven figure seller on Amazon, you definitely have brand registry, which gives you brand analytics. Now let's understand the actual consumer. Who's the consumer who's buying from you. is it is it a male or is it a female?Josh 00:04:02  The first step is for you to identify who this audience is, right? Like who is the buyer for this particular product, because then that's going to change the way that you're merchandising your product, right? The images that you're creating. And then you also kind of dove into, you know, utilizing those tools, that Amazon has now done, I think, over the last two years, like Amazon has been...

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm joined by my buddy Jake Hofer to talk all things whitetail — the anticipation of the season, the emotional rollercoaster of chasing mature bucks, and the critical stretch we all know as scrape week. We dig into the fine details that separate good hunts from great ones — how to actually read scrapes, what deer are telling you through their behavior, and how trail cameras can guide your timing if you know what to look for. This one's all about refining your process, trusting your gut, and letting the deer — not the hype — dictate your strategy. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 463 The anticipation for deer season fuels every hunter's mindset. Influences like Bobby Worthington shape modern whitetail thinking. Emotional highs and lows define the pursuit of mature bucks. Scrape week is a pivotal window for capitalizing on deer movement. Trail cameras are tools — not replacements for woodsmanship. Adapting your strategy and trusting instincts lead to consistent success.

As Halloween approaches, culture bombards our daughters with images of fear, darkness, and death—often disguised as harmless fun. But behind the costumes, creepy décor, and “fear-as-fun” mentality lies a much deeper reality: the unseen spiritual battle for our girls' hearts and minds.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden unpack what it looks like to discern the subtle and not-so-subtle spiritual influences shaping our daughters. Drawing from Scripture—including Ephesians 6:12, which reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood—they help moms recognize that insecurity, rebellion, and even negative self-talk can often be rooted in spiritual lies rather than just “phases.”  You'll hear a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, reflections on why truth—not fear—anchors our daughters, and personal stories that highlight how easily the enemy twists what looks innocent into something deceptive. Most importantly, Rachael and Melissa offer practical tools for parents: spotting patterns of repeated lies, equipping girls with Scripture, and covering them in prayer with confidence, not anxiety.  At American Heritage Girls, we believe light always defeats darkness. That's why AHG's Identity and Daughter of the King badges, alongside Troop life, give girls the space to declare who they are in Christ—compassionate, perseverant, pure—and to stand firm when the enemy tries to distort their identity.  Scripture References:  Ephesians 6:12 — “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against… the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  2 Corinthians 10:5 — “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  2 Timothy 1:7 — “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  1 Thessalonians 5:5 — “You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.”  3 Key Truths to Remember:  The Battle Is Real — Your daughter's struggles may be spiritual as well as emotional or behavioral. Stay prayerful and discerning.  Light Defeats Darkness — Equip your girl with Scripture and confidence in Christ. Fear cannot stand against His truth.  Model Spiritual Strength — Your calm trust in God shows your daughter how to stand firm in faith without anxiety.  This episode will encourage you to pause, pray, and have intentional conversations with your daughter about the lies she faces and the truth God has spoken over her life. Moms, you are not alone in this battle. With faith, Scripture, and the support of Christ-centered community, your daughter can shine His light even in the darkest cultural moments.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

This year's Wisconsin Science Festival will feature a special weather event at the Wisconsin Energy Institute on the UW-Madison campus. On October 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wisconet Manager Chris Vagasky tells Stephanie Hoff that it will help introduce people to the behind-the-scenes of weather -- a topic that influences lives every day. He says Wisconsin is a weather hub as it's home to the Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences Department, the National Weather Service, several big-market TV meteorologists, the State Climate Office, and Wisconet. More sunshine on the way today, but showers keep popping up through Thursday. That's the word from Stu Muck. Farm appraisal appointments are taking up a lot of time with the Steffes Group. Ashley Huhn tells Pam Jahnke that farmers and their lenders sometimes want to get a handle on machinery inventory before the end of the calendar year. He also highlights some of the in-season bids that captured equipment while the harvest was underway. Paid for by Steffes Group. The U.S. Meat Export Federation just returned from a trade mission to the United Kingdom. While it may not represent a big geography, it does have a lot of population looking for meat. Jerry Thiel, chair elect of the USMEF, says the UK's alignment with the EU should make things easier - but it doesn't. The information vacuum created by the shutdown of USDA looms over the marketplace and trade activity. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend explains what critical pieces are missing and what it means to production agriculture.

Hello Poison Friends! We are still on our spooky kick for the season here and I want to discuss the history behind vampires. We have mentioned some vampire scares here before when discussing tuberculosis, because the disease did carry some superstition behind it in some parts of the world. However, the idea of undead or spiritual entities eating human flesh or drinking blood has been around for centuries. There have been many words for such a beast in various cultures and stories worldwide, so we are touching on a few notable ones that gave rise to the vampire myths and characters that we know today. That being said, we need to mention some real figures from history that inspired such characters as Bram Stoker's Dracula, a character we all associate with early modern vampires. This episode we are talking about the Countess Elizabeth Báthory, or as you may know her, the Blood Countess. She was said to have bathed in the blood of young virgins she killed to keep herself looking youthful, but how much of this story is true? There are witness statements and trial records of her crimes of torturing and killing young girls and women that she specifically invited to her manor, from both peasant and noble families. Among these records it is written by servants/witnesses that she tortured and murdered between 36-51 girls. Another witness counted up to 80 and still another was told of a register of 650 women killed by the bloody Countess. Obviously, there will be some mentions of torture, gore (nothing too descriptive mind you), and murder. So trigger warning for at least the second half of this episode!

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're exploring how Alan Katz starts his day — and how his routines have transformed his life.Alan begins each morning with intention, sketching out his schedule on paper — everything from podcast interviews to sound editing and writing his deeply personal book, How to Live B*****t Free.* The book was born from his struggles with mental health and the realization that he once came dangerously close to taking his own life. Through that journey, Alan discovered a powerful truth: the only person he can truly change is himself.By confronting his own “b******t,” as he calls it, Alan found a peace he never thought possible. He describes walking through life in a perpetual state of bliss, grounded by structure, mindfulness, and creative purpose. His nighttime ritual — cleaning his genius pipe — is part of his cannabis routine, which he views as both reflective and restorative.Tennis has also become a meditative outlet for him, a way to stay fully present without the burden of competition. In recent years, Alan has turned his curiosity toward meditation, particularly Transcendental Meditation, as he continues to explore consciousness and inner calm. (Alan does use a curse word because its the title of his book so that word is uncensored for that word.)00:00:01 - Introduction00:00:12 - Daily Routine00:00:51 - Current Projects00:01:22 - Personal Journey00:02:33 - Life Philosophy00:02:52 - Purpose and Podcasting00:04:18 - Nighttime Routine00:05:51 - Meditation and Tennis00:08:19 - Transcendental Meditation00:08:54 - Consciousness and Information00:12:01 - Physical Fitness and Reading00:12:35 - Current Reading for Work00:15:51 - Opinions on Character Development00:16:10 - Music Preferences00:16:29 - Influences on Children's Music Taste00:17:35 - Current TV Shows00:17:52 - Contact Information00:18:26 - Closing RemarksCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thedonorpodcast.com/
