Podcast appearances and mentions of mark kistler

Join us this week as we enjoy a candid discussion with Dr. Mark Kistler, center director and professor at the University of Florida's Indian River Research and Education Center. Dr. Kistler shares his extensive background, the long history of IRREC, and how they're taking extensive strategic planning steps to make sure the center continues to provide Florida agriculture with the scientific support it needs to thrive in the future.  

April was a busy month for citrus events. The Florida Citrus Show was held April 3 in Fort Pierce followed by the Florida Citrus Growers' Institute in Avon Park on April 9. These events were a topic of discussion between All In For Citrus podcast host Frank Giles and Michael Rogers, director of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center, during the April episode. The Florida Citrus Show was held at the neighboring UF/IFAS Indian River Research and Education Center (IRREC) and U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service U.S. Horticultural Research Laboratory. Rogers shared some news regarding the IRREC in the podcast; a new center director has recently been named. Mark Kistler will take the leadership position in June. Kistler currently is professor and dean of the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Georgia. “Mark is a longtime Floridian originally,” said Rogers. “He grew up in Winter Haven. We are glad to see him coming back to lead that station as they move forward with their research plans.” Rogers also provided some highlights from the Florida Citrus Growers' Institute. The event covered an array of citrus production topics. “We heard an update from Dr. Ute Albrecht on oxytetracycline trunk injections. She continues to see some promising data in her trials in terms of yield increase and possibly some Brix increase,” Rogers said. “They are still looking at how much fruit quality is impacted, but it is probably more of an overall tree health issue, as they are managing the HLB bacteria levels and seeing results that manifest in terms of leaf growth and how that affects fruit quality down the road. She also gave growers tips based on what she's finding in her research.” To hear more about April's citrus events and to learn about ways to maximize citrus irrigation, don't miss this episode of All In For Citrus. The podcast is a partnership between UF/IFAS and AgNet Media.

Exploring the Joys of Creativity and Process: Experimenting with Literary Analyses and Artistic EndeavorsIn this episode, the hosts celebrate the beginning of the new year and the launch of their show's 6th season. One exciting topic discussed is Christopher Alexander's 'pattern language.' The concept focuses on the relationship between elements at varying scales, whether from macro to micro, to design cities or building elements. The host shares his experiment with software called 'Obsidian' to create a network of patterns analogous to the pattern language. Meanwhile, the other host demonstrates his reinterpretation of process through artwork, showcasing a step-by-step creation of a sketch he created using different mediums. They also touch on a nostalgic favorite - Mark Kistler's 'Secret City' and the half-hour creative spur it offers, inspiring people to draw and cultivate imagination.00:00 Introduction and New Year Wishes00:55 Discussing the New Year and Season02:05 Reflecting on the Past Year07:20 Exploring the Concept of a Pattern Language11:11 Using Obsidian for Note Taking20:42 Reflecting on the Process of Drawing29:57 Closing Thoughts and Future Plans Support the showBuy some Coffee!

Stephanie is an artist who runs the instagram account "disneytized_petshop." She transforms people's pets into cartoon characters using digital art software in a style that resembles the characters from 2D animated films.Stephanie has always been a creative person and comes from a family of many artists (woodworker, photographer, cartoonist, needlefelter, creative designer for fashion, metalworker, jewelry maker, taxidermist, painter, musician, illustrator). She has always connected most strongly with other creative people. Stephanie's interest in drawing started when she was a child; she watched drawing tutorials every day on Mark Kistler's "Imagination Station" that aired on public television. However, as an adult, Stephanie studied law and social justice instead of art, as many people told her one could never support themselves financially with a career as an artist. It wasn't until the pandemic that she decided to start doing artwork again because it was something fun she could easily do from home, and, contrary to popular belief, she saw a demand for it.Stephanie's 14 year old pug passed away last year, but she is now fostering a street dog that was rescued by the animal shelter at which she currently volunteers in Taiwan. Soon she will be bringing the dog back to the US to her forever home (Stephanie's parents want to adopt her!) She has been living abroad for the past 5 years in Australia, Vietnam, and Taiwan, and is finally returning home where she will continue to work remotely. She has two jobs at the moment - one is running her Instagram account where she does commissioned artwork including pet portraits, logos for pet businesses, and illustrates children's books starring people's pets. For her other job she does college counseling, where she helps foreign students apply to study abroad at US and UK universities. She also painted a few large murals this summer, which is something she'd never done before.P.S. The Holidays are coming.

  What a fun day meandering among some interesting characters and bearded folk!  I meet some of the most interesting people at these types of events, I guess that is why I try to go to as many as I can and meet the people!  Wizard World Comic Con came to Cleveland March 17th-19th for it’s third appearance at the Cleveland Convention Center.  There were a ton of comic, sci-fi, role-playing, pop-culture, and bearded fans in attendance-it truly was a sight to see.  I went down Saturday afternoon with no expectations of what type of time I was going to have, I just wanted to slowly walk around and take it all in.  There was a lot to take in from artists, content creators, costumed role players, comics, celebrities, games, books, toys, and just great people!      Like I said, I wanted to take my time and just slowly take it all in.  There is so much to investigate and absorb at an event this large.  I wasn’t able to take a lot in a few years ago when I went with my friend Bald Faced Josh and his daughter, and The Child.  The kids were ready to go after 30 minutes and Josh and I couldn’t really check out all the greatness that Wizard World Comic Con had to offer.  This time I was going to take advantage of going solo and take my sweet time and check out what I wanted to see!!!  I wasn’t there to find anything specific, other than interesting bearded or mustached folk to chat with, but I found myself really drawn to the artists and illustrators this year.  There were so many great ones on site, so much eye candy and talent.  Though I was there to check out everything my main goal was to search out interesting people to converse with.  One may ask how I may find someone interesting to talk to just by looking around.  I say to them, “I am The Beardcaster, I search for the great beards, and behind those great beards are the interesting people I seek!!!”      The first beard I stumbled upon was my good friend Joshua Jenniges.  You may remember him from episode 2 of The Beardcaster.  One of the most amazing artists I have ever met, Josh is just one of those kind souls whose red beard pulls you in for friendship. He was there with his fiancé, Lydia, to help find some inspiration for work and for his personal growth.  As the two of them walked around Josh ran across an artist by the name Mark Kistler, who had a PBS show called, "The Secret City", when he was a child.  Josh told me that he was a real inspiration to him growing up and that he was part of why he became an artist.  Make sure you listen to the podcast to hear that whole conversation!     EPISODE 2-JOSHUA JENNIGES EXPERIENCE    The next bearded gentleman I ran across was a Alex Demko and his fiancé Bridget.  It was good to see this bearded man who I have known for a coons age, as they say.  Alex has recently embraced the bearded lifestyle and is currently sporting his longest beard I have ever known him to have.  They were there to enjoy the sights and see what was going on in the world of Sci-Fi.  Bridget was dressed in a classic Federation dress, which she wore very well!  We talked about the different Star Treks that have been around and the re-boot series and which were our favorites.  The discussion took a turn when I asked about her favorite bearded Trek character.  This lead us into Lando and Chewbacca and their facial hair.  She was an interesting one to talk to but it took her bearded man to help me find her fascinating story...     The highlight of my afternoon took place shortly after my discussion with Alex.  I was slowly strolling  down an isle when my eyes were drawn to something incredable, as if being called synchronistically by a strange force.  I couldn't believe what my eyes brought forth, something so magical, so mysterious, so perfect.  I almost didn't believe my eyes as they rest upon a table with a comic book laying on it titled Beardo. The magic didn't end there.  As I scanned the table and let out an exclamation of shock, our eyes met.  I hear the author, Dan Dougherty,  say something along the lines of “WOW!”  and the next thing you know…we are instantly friends!!!!  There were two beards guys standing at a booth with a comic all about a bearded guy and the struggles of his life and how he copes and gets through each day, smiling ear to ear; we found each other.  This was honestly a very surreal moment for me as I felt that this was some weird cosmic moment laid in my lap telling me I was on the right path.  Dan had such charisma and his nice tight beard had me “Hello”.  We spoke for awhile as the booth next to his just laughed that we were going nuts over the fact that we “found each other!”  and we couldn't believe the coincidence and the fact I have never ran across his comic on-line.  We had a great conversation and I purchased a copy of his Beardo comics which he so graciously signed and made a character of The Beardcaster!

He was wearing a Stranger Things t-shirt and a Machine Head beanie, a favorite show, and a favorite band of mine.  I knew we would hit it off and have good conversation just because of his beard, hat , and shirt.   We talked about him meeting Millie Bobbie Brown, "Eleven" from the ground breaking Netflix series "Stranger Things" and he showed me the picture he got with her.  We speculated if she may have a beard in season two which is slated to premiere this October.  Our conversation turned from Wizard World to Machine Head and our thoughts on the band and both our personal interactions.  I tried to convince Steve that he needed to find the world of competitive bearding but he seemed a little reluctant.  I assured him that he would be a welcome part of our family and he would defiantly bring good nature and possible winnings if he competed! I asked what his inspiration was for growing this great beard.  I was caught off guard by his answer, it was an inspiration I had yet to hear from talking to someone when asking about why they grew.  I guess you are going to have to listen to the podcast to hear what his answer was!!! ...I'm such a dick!!!     MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN MACHINE HEAD SONS OF ANARCHY CAPTAIN AMERICA    I walked by Andrew Heaths booth a few times before I mustered the confidence to talk to him about his artwork.  Intimidating it was for both of us to meet I could tell, his artistic vision and his prints blew me away, something I just don't have!   Hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, Andrew has used his skills to make a career as a designer and illustrator and had some great examples of his screen printed art on display.  Pulling many ideas from pop-culture there were recognizable images that we all could relate to from Dr. Who to Bob's Burgers and Star Wars to Star Trek. Check out Andrews designs by going to his website-I can almost bet you will find something you would like!    I     ANDREW-HEATH.COM CURSES, CRONES AND UNSPEAKABLE THINGS     My last guest this episode is a man named Jerry Milani who works for the Wizard World Comic Con organization.  I asked him some questions about how they got this massive monster of a traveling pop-culture convention going. We talked about some of the great celebrity guests they have booked and how they are trying to book more of a variety to expand the draw for these various Wizard World events. He told me about the involvement of Gene Simmons this year and how excited they are to expand this pop-culture fest by incorporating a music element into the mix. Though Jerry is a proud "bald faced" mortal, I had fun talking with him and he was a great source of information about Wizard World Comic Con! To hear more about what he said check out the podcast. Keep your eyes peeled for me at next years Wizard Con, come and find me and we will chat!!!     WIZARD WORLD COMIC CON STRANGER THINGS INCREDIBLE HULK DEAN CAIN BARRY BOSTWICK GENE SIMMONS KATO KAYLEN           This year was by far more magical for me at the Wizard World Comic Con.  I was able to see more and experience it like it should be. Take your time to take in the sights and absorb everything that is there.  There is something for everyone and it is a place to be something special.    It is a place you can be a superhero for the day, a real princess, or a galactic bounty hunter in search of a bearded guy to collect a handsome reward for.  Wizard World is more than a traditional comic and pop-culture convention, it is an expression for many and a place to find a "family" and be a part of a community.   UNIVERSAL BEARD APAMA EPISODE 15 -NEO COMICCON 2/TED SIKORA AND APAMA MUSTACHIO-BASHIO EPISODE 8 - MIKE LAUR MUSTACHIO-BASHIO 501ST GARRISON, REBEL LEGION & MANDO MERCS / STAR WARS   0 LIKES
