This week three years ago, we told the story of “Operation Christmas Drop” after discovering the oldest ongoing Department of Defense mission - the world's longest running humanitarian airdrop - to deliver critical supplies to remote islands in the Pacific. On 12/14/24, Operation Christmas Drop at Andersen Airforce Base in Guam was another success, and the 73rd annual drop delivered 220 bundles to 58 islands, helping more than 42,000 people. Ron Hirschberg and Lucy Little told this story in 2021 including Zoom interviews east to Guam with (now) former President of OCD2021 Air Force Capt. Matt Carrowan, and north to Canada with the 2021 Netflix Movie "Operation Christmas Drop" Director, Martin Wood.

Interview by Angela CroudaceMelbourne's burgeoning music scene is buzzing with the emergence of Druid, a band turning heads with their unique sound blending and captivating performances. Guitarist Daeyul Baggins discussed the band's journey, their new single Chokehold, and their distinctive musical influences."We started a few years back under a different name," Daeyul explains, recounting the band's evolution. "We released an EP and then realised we were heading in a different direction musically. So, we decided to rebrand ourselves as Druid." This change allowed the band to redefine their sound and connect deeper with their musical identity.Regarding the name "Druid," Daeyul admits there isn't a profound story behind it. "We just couldn't agree on anything else! Someone suggested Druid, and we all liked it." Despite the lack of a backstory, the name resonates well with their musical ethos."We're inspired by bands like Thornhill, Alpha Wolf, and Bring Me The Horizon," says Daeyul. "When writing our songs, we try to channel that vibe." These influences, combined with a relentless drive to push sonic boundaries through the fusion of rap and metal, create a familiar and innovative sound.The band members have deep roots in music. Daeyul himself started out playing guitar but found his calling on the drums before ultimately transitioning to guitar. "My parents wouldn't let me get a drum set, so I started with guitar," he shares. "But once I got behind the kit, I realised I had a natural knack for it."Chokehold is their latest release, produced by Sam Yates, known for his work with Aussie band Dregg. Daeyul explains the creative process: "We recorded it about a year ago. Our drummer Alex wrote the demo, and we were thrilled when Sam liked it enough to work with us." The accompanying music video, directed by Martin Wood, showcases a unique blend of heavy music and pole dancing, capturing the skill and artistry involved. "We wanted to show the talent behind pole dancing, not just the suggestive aspects," he emphasises.Druid is also making waves with their collaborations. They teamed up with the talented Misstiq, who contributed a lo-fi remix of their song DTHBLW. "She was really into the idea, and her remix turned out amazing," Daeyul notes. "It's great to see different genres blending together."When asked about future aspirations, Daeyul shares their excitement for what lies ahead. "We have another track ready for release early next year, and we're supporting Outer Worlds in November. There's a lot coming up, and we can't wait to share it with everyone."As a band that's managed to weave different genres into their music while staying true to their heavy roots, Druid is poised to stamp their mark on the Aussie metal scene and beyond. With their fresh approach and dedication to artistry, they are certainly a band to watch.For fans of nu-metal and those looking for something different, Druid is a name that will soon be on everyone's lips. Be sure to check out Chokehold and keep an eye out for their upcoming releases. The future looks bright for this Melbourne band, and it's clear that Druid is just getting started.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

For John Medeski, music has always been about healing. "Music just kind of sucked me up," he says. "For me having music was a great way to deal with the hard things in life. "Best known as one-third of the avant-garde jazz / funk trio Medeski, Martin & Wood (aka MMW), Medeski began playing piano as a kid, growing up in Florida. By high school, he was sitting in with the likes of Jaco Pastorius and Mark Murphy. He lived in Boston for college, and then in New York in his 20s. But Medeski was always drawn to nature. "I learn a lot by being around things humans couldn't create," he says. "Like trees and mountains. I just don't think humans are that clever or that important." Despite his love of the natural world, John is an innovative electronic (or at least electric) musician. He twists and squeezes the sound of his keyboards — distorting, filtering and processing the instruments to find unusual and sometimes otherworldly textures. Maybe that's why he lists NASA's recording of a black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster as one of his favorite recent musical discoveries.  Medeski is a highly collaborative musician: in addition to MMW, he has been a part of numerous musical collectives including The Word, Mad Skillet, Hudson, Saint Disruption, and multiple John Zorn projects. We spoke recently about the healing power of music; what attracted him to music as a boy; his creative and professional development; and the moment in 1996 when MMW discovered their jam band audience. www.third-story.com www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast www.wbgo.org/studios

Episode 202.  Supes are out of control!   Intro, Black Friday madness.  Chris's hand is 90% healed but also hates decorating his tree.  Odd?  Christmas music is recycled songs.   0:06:30 - Box-office, upcoming releases 0:10:55  **NEW EGMENT** What's Streaming?

(8.5/10) Operation Christmas Drop (Netflix) Alexander Ludwig and Kat Graham lead up this cast in a very Hallmark like movie where everything works out for the best with no kind of loss or regret for anyone.  Virginia Madsen joins the cast as a Congresswoman intent on shutting down the U.S. military base on Guam (which would never happen) and sends her top aid, Erica (Kat Graham) to evaluate the efficiency and productivity of the base and it's assets.  While there, she is escorted around by naval pilot Andrew (Ludwig) and you can probably guess the rest.  Very predictable and upbeat.  Perfect for a family or a date night bt not much substance for anyone looking for a thought provoking movie.  Netflix knows by now what they have and what the formula is.  (3/10) Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Christopher Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.

Eng verzahnt und gleichzeitig entspannt: das New Yorker Trio «Medeski, Martin & Wood» setzt seit bald 3 Jahrzehnten Massstäbe in Sachen Groove. Eine explosive Mischung aus Funk, Jazz und experimentellen Klängen, die sogar in langsamen Tempi zum Kochen kommt. Medeski, Martin & Wood produzieren ihre Alben mit der grossen Geste, ganz im Stil von Popmusik. Die Musik dieses eingeschworenen Trios lässt aber auch wegen ihrer klanglichen Vielseitigkeit aufhorchen. Grund dafür ist vor allem John Medeskis Faible für authentische Synthesizer. Der Organist, Pianist und Multitastenkünstler bringt jedes seiner alten Instrumente auf ganz spezifische Art zum Klingen. 55 wird John Medeski im Juni. Der Zürcher Organist Marcel Thomi verfolgt sein Schaffen seit Jahren und diskutiert darüber mit Annina Salis.

Have you tried growing Castor Bean? It's one of Michael Pollen's favorite plants. Check out the way he starts his article on the plant called, "Consider the Castor Bean" : "Pretty they are not, but a garden can labor under a surfeit "sur·fuht" of prettiness, be too sweet or cheerful for its own good. Sometimes what’s needed in the garden is a hint of vegetal menace, of nature run tropically, luxuriantly amuck. For this I recommend the castor bean." While most of us have heard of castor oil (extracted by crushing and processing the seeds), growing the castor bean plant can be a new adventure for gardeners. The castor bean plant is the only member of the genus Ricinus communis and belongs to the spurge family. Unlike other members of the euphorbia family, castor bean does not have that milky latex sap, the sap of castor bean is watery. The giant, tropical leaves and peculiar seed pods make the plant an exotic addition to your garden. A native plant from Ethiopia, castor bean can grow to 40 feet tall when it can grow year round. For most gardeners who grow castor bean as an annual in a single season, castor bean will grow quickly and vigorously but it will only reach about 8-10 feet.  If you grow castor bean, you need to be aware that the seeds are extremely poisonous. If you have kids around,  keep plants out of reach and eliminate seeds altogether by cutting off the flowering spike. As you probably suspected from the latin name, the toxin in castor seeds is ricin (RYE-sin), one of the world's deadliest natural poisons.  During the Cold War, the Bulgarian journalist, Georgi Markov, was killed when an umbrella rigged as a pellet rifle, shot a small BB into his leg as Markov stood in line at a bus stop. After he died in 1978, Scotland Yard investigated and found the BB; it was the size of a pinhead and it had been drilled with two holes producing an X-shaped cavity and the holes had been packed with ricin. The holes had been coated with a sugary substance  which trapped the ricin inside the BB. The coating was designed to melt at body temperature, at which time the ricin was free to be absorbed into the bloodstream and kill him.   Despite their unnerving history, castor beans are still good garden plants. They look beautiful with cannas, bananas and elephant ears for a tropical garden. They make a wonderful backdrop for grasses. And, they shine at the back of the flower border where they create a magnificent screen in no time. Castor Beans do best in full sun and they don't like wet feet - so plant them high and dry or in well drained locations.      Brevities   #OTD It’s the birthday of Emily Brontë who was born on this day in 1818.     Brontë wrote:   Reason, indeed, may oft complain For Nature's sad reality, And tell the suffering heart, how vain Its cherished dreams must always be; And Truth may rudely trample down The flowers of Fancy, newly-blown.     #OTD  It’s the birthday of Ellis Rowan, who was a well-known Australian artist and botanical illustrator, born on this day in 1848. In a 1994 newspaper article, Sarah Guest described Rowan this way:   "She was an explorer. She set off alone at 68, for Papua New Guinea - who died in 1922. She dyed her hair red; had a face-lift; left her husband (the suggestion is that she was bored); was a member of one of Victoria's great pastoralist families; was a much-admired, prolific, technically proficient and joyous painter of plants and birds; and a conservationist she campaigned to stop the slaughter of birds for the decoration of ladies' hats... in her day she was known as "Australia's brilliant daughter" which, indeed, she was."   Rowan discovered painting after her botanist husband. Frederick. encouraged her to develop a talent. Rowan developed her passion into her profession and it led her into unknown parts of Australia.  During the first World war Rowan was living in New Guinea. At one point, she painted 45 of the 62 known species of birds of paradise.   As a woman living during the mid-1800s, Rowan minded the dress code of her era. Wherever she went, whether on an exploration or back at home, she was always impeccably dressed; wearing heavy ankle length dresses, high collars with full sleeves - complete with crinolines, corsets, whalebone stays, and a hat.   Just before Rowan died, the federal parliament in Australia debated whether to buy 1,000 of her paintings despite the Australian artist and novelist, Norman Lindsay, who called her work vulgar art. Lindsey didn't think wildflowers were worthy of subjects of real art. Ultimately, the paintings were purchased for $5000 . They are now part of Australia’s national library.     #OTD And it was on this day in 1901 that the General assembly of Arkansas selected the apple blossom as the floral emblem. This selection was not without controversy. The Floral Emblem Society, led by Mrs. Ed Barton, had supported the apple blossom. The Arkansas Federation of women’s clubs wanted the passion flower. The disagreement between the two groups became known as the battle of the blooms.   Barton became a one woman crusader for the apple blossom; writing articles and memos to newspapers - even personally mailing letters to affluent citizens.  Whenever she mailed anything, she included a promotional pamphlet that she had created praising the apple blossom. In an ingenious move, she not only promoted the apple blossom, but she also dissed the passion flower; saying it was, "as pretty as a non-native of Arkansas", and saying that it would "grow anywhere the farmers hoe let it."  Ouch.   When the legislature was set to vote, Barton appeared at the capital wearing ... wait for it.... a bright apple red dress.   And, she pulled a Martha Stewart and personally gifted every lawmaker with an apple and a note that said, "These are the results of our beautiful apple blossoms. But, what is the result of a passion flower? A dried shriveled pod."   Indeed.     Unearthed Words "Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it."  - Russel Baker "Dirty hands, iced tea, garden fragrances thick in the air and a blanket of color before me,  who could ask for more?" - Bev Adams, Mountain Gardening   Today's book recommendation: Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood by Martin Wood and Judith Tankard Gertrude Jekyll was one of the most influential garden designers of the early 20th century. This wonderful book explores her life and work at the home she created for herself at Munstead Wood in England. The book is a fantastic collection of all things Jekyll;  her writings and photographs, as well as personal accounts from friends and acquaintances.      Today's Garden Chore When you are done harvesting blackberries or boysenberries, it is time to do a little housekeeping.  Cut this years fruit bearing canes back to the ground and tie up the new green canes to take their place. Once all the fruiting has finished, you can begin to trim back your blackberries and boysenberries. The canes that just produced the fruit will start to dry and become woody and brown. Now, is the time to cut them right back to the ground.   While you’re at it, cut back any diseased or damaged canes.   Next, look for anything that is too long or out of control.  Try to make your plants have a nice, pleasant form.    Take the new canes and train them where you want them to go. Make sure to spread them out so that they get good airflow. Remember, taking the time to do this right now will make them easier to pick from next season   Thornless varieties make the job of pruning blackberries and boysenberries much easier. Don't forget: The fruit grows on new wood. And be sure to remove all dead or broken limbs - and suckers as well.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   It was on this day in 1932 that Walt Disney premiered his first academy award winning animated cartoon.   The short was called"Flowers and Trees" and it was the first cartoon to use technicolor.  Flowers and Treeswas supposed to be a black-and-white cartoon, but Walt Disney decided it would make the perfect test film for the new technicolor process. The vivid colors of the natural world were the perfect subject for a technicolor production   Meanwhile the Mickey Mouse short features were judged to be successful enough; they remained in black-and-white until 1935.    Flowers and Treespremiered at the Chinese theater in Los Angeles on this day and won the Academy award for animated short subject.   In the movie, the trees and flowers are  anthropomorphized; they wake up at the beginning of the day and begin lifting their heads and stretching.   In the short, a beautiful lady tree is wooed by suitor; while an evil old leafless tree attempts to steal her away.  The two trees dual and when the old tree loses the battle, he sets the forest on fire. The plants in the natural world work together to put the fire out. The two trees end up happily together and they get engaged in the final seconds of the movie. The lady tree is presented a ring made from a curled up caterpillar. As the trees embrace, the bellflowers begin to play the wedding march and the other flowers dance around the hugging trees.     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
