Send us a textFood waste. It's been called the world's dumbest problem.  Did you know that about a third of the food grown on farms is wasted, meaning it never gets to a factory, a grocery store, or to a consumer?  This is not because farmers are wasteful.  Far from it.  It's because it's sometimes hard to harvest all the food that's been produced, especially if it's underground (think sweet potatoes).  Food waste is not just an economic problem, although it can drive up food cost.  It is food that is not feeding a hungry world.  Dr. Lisa Johnson joins us to discuss her work on food waste and loss.   Lisa's research focuses on the critical challenge of food loss at the farm level and how to reduce.  For more information, check out Lisa's website: https://lisakjohnson.com/Got a questions for us?

In the dead of summer, a shift in tone appears to be taking hold between Canada's premiers and the prime minister.On this week's West of Centre, three Alberta-based journalists examine what may be driving Premier Danielle Smith's recent change in rhetoric. At the latest premiers' summit, Smith downplayed talk of a new oil pipeline and instead emphasized on shared priorities with B.C. Premier David Eby — including ammonia exports, LNG expansion and increasing Trans Mountain's capacity.Meghan Potkins of the Financial Post offers a reality check on the private sector's appetite for a new pipeline. Lisa Johnson of The Canadian Press and Alex Boyd of the Toronto Star explore whether more in-person engagement — and a new prime minister — may be shifting the dynamic among provincial leaders. And to what political end?The panel also unpacks renewed controversy over coal payouts. The Alberta government is now facing millions more in potential liabilities after reversing its policy on coal development in the Rockies — raising the prospect of further legal and political fallout.Attention then turns to the Battle River–Crowfoot byelection, where federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faces a ballot featuring some 200 names. Is it a genuine complaint, or a pre-emptive explanation for what could be a lower vote share in one of the country's safest Conservative ridings?The episode ends on a sobering note. Globe and Mail reporter Carrie Tait was recently targeted with surveillance. The panel reflects on rising hostility toward journalists, and how it threatens not just the press, but the public's access to information.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guests: Meghan Potkins, Lisa Johnson, Alex Boyd

Everything we know about “the West” seems to be shifting this week. On a global scale, the U.S. has upended the post-war international order by slapping tariffs on dozens of countries, effectively shredding free trade. Closer to home, former Reform Party leader Preston Manning warns of a potential “West wants out” scenario if the Liberals form government again. How real are these threats? West of Centre host Kathleen Petty talks with three everyday Albertans about navigating this highly unusual election. Journalists Rob Breakenridge and Lisa Johnson then weigh in on whether these pressures could redefine the upcoming election — and Canada's political landscape at large.

Mars aligns with Gemini's bright start Castor and Pollux on April 10. Look for the smallest full moon of the year, the so-called micro-moon on April 12.  Don't believe it?  Bob has tips to assemble photographic proof. Also April 12, there's a close conjunction with Spica in Virgo. Look for the peak of the annual Lyrid meteor shower April 22. Venus has flipped over to the morning sky after it passed between the Earth and sun. We'll have a nice conjunction of Venus, Saturn and the crescent moon on April 25 very low at dawn.   And watch Jupiter and Mars move to the east at a good clip this month as they orbit the sun.   Plus, for the first time ever, Bob reads poetry!   Next month on Minnesota Night Skies, another meteor shower to look forward to, plus more pleasant weather (we hope) to encourage folks to spend the night out under the stars.   Astro Bob is podcasting!

Lisa Johnson spent a year and $100K divorcing her ex, and then the next ten years in court, seven representing herself successfully, through dozens of court appearances. Her case was so notable that it was published in the CT Law Journal and is now case law - a huge honor for any attorney, and unheard of for a self-represented litigant. Her partner and she have since created a thriving business teaching men and women how to persevere through the legal system with an ex trying to wear them down and bleed them dry financially.

The Magician represents my guest today on The Tarot Table. This card embodies the power of transformation, manifestation, and the ability to manipulate one's reality. In the context of a hypnotist, The Magician symbolizes their expertise in guiding individuals through altering their narrative and mindset.  The Magician is depicted as a figure standing at a table with various tools representing the four elements: a wand for fire, a cup for water, a sword for air, and a pentacle for earth. This signifies the hypnotist's mastery over these elements and their ability to harness them to facilitate change. The card also portrays the infinity symbol above the magician's head, representing the infinite possibilities available to the individual seeking transformation. The magician's gesture of one hand pointing upward and the other downward symbolizes their ability to connect the spiritual realm with the physical world, bridging the gap between conscious and subconscious states of mind. Furthermore, The Magician is associated with communication, persuasion, and the power of suggestion. These qualities are essential in the work of a hypnotist who guides individuals toward new narratives and mindsets through words and techniques. The Magician represents my guest, Paul Wilson.  Who Is Paul Wilson?  Since 2018, Paul Wilson has been transforming personal growth by combining his expertise as a Hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach with his unique brand of humor. His approach isn't just about shedding unwanted thoughts and behaviors—it's about empowering people to strive confidently in life and business. Paul's journey in personal coaching has led him to collaborate with notable entrepreneurs like Lisa Johnson and Robin Waite, enhancing their events with his engaging talks and workshops.

In this episode Brook and his guests Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry from the podcast Been There Got Out discuss the notion of High Conflict Detox. This is where a person/parent is stuck deeply in the habitual cycle of conflict and the nervous system maintains a high level of chronic activation. In order to break the cycle one must endure the discomfort of disengagement, develop a self awareness of the cycle in order to break free of the strong impulse to engage in and continue the conflict. This conflict pattern is very much physiological and can be mastered. Enjoy!!!

High Conflict divorce is challenging enough, but when it escalates to legal abuse, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. In this episode, we unpack what legal abuse looks like in the context of high-conflict divorce, where one party may use the legal system to exhaust, intimidate, and financially drain the other. Whether it's endless filings, false accusations, or unreasonable demands, legal abuse can turn a difficult process into a battle of attrition. But understanding the warning signs can be your first line of defense against this form of manipulation. We dive into the red flags that often indicate legal abuse, from repeated court appearances to unreasonable custody demands. These signs, often orchestrated by individuals with narcissistic or controlling tendencies, are designed to exploit the legal system for personal gain. Our discussion provides insights into recognizing these tactics early, equipping you with knowledge that can help you avoid costly pitfalls and find ways to better protect yourself and your family. Our guests today are Lisa Johnson and Chris Barry, co-founders of Been There Got Out. With extensive experience supporting people through high-conflict divorces, Lisa and Chris offer practical, battle-tested guidance for those facing legal abuse. Lisa, a domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself in numerous court battles, helped pass Jennifer's Law to expand Connecticut's definition of domestic violence to include coercive control. Together, they run a Legal Abuse Support Group and have published a book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances," sharing critical insights to help others achieve the best outcomes.
