Emily Stengel of GreenWave and Dr. Miriam Goldstein of American Progress join HLHP Radio. Emily begins by explaining ocean agriculture to the listener. Underwater farming is affordable, scalable, replicable, and sustainable. By painting a true picture of these underwater farms, listeners are able to envision these zero input farms (no fertilizer, pesticides, animals, feed). The stark contrast to land-based farming is quite incredible. This is particularly important because our waters have really seen the impact of climate change, from animal extinction to agal blooms and job loss. Moreover, these are restorative crops, soaking up carbon, and promoting biodiversity in the ocean. The model provides endless environmental benefits. The economic benefits are also more accessible to a wider group of people, with the goal of creating sustainable opportunities for more people. Emily also reminds listeners that this model is not limited, it can be modeled in cool Alaskan waters, Caribbean waters, and everywhere in between, as long as the ocean crops are native. Emily closes by reminding listeners that purchasing seafood sustainably is a big part of the equation. It is our responsibility to make sustainable choices. You can gain more information about making sustainable choices by purchasing All We Can Save, a book Emily contributed to. Dr. Goldstein reminds us that justice for people and justice for the planet are intertwined, and cannot and should not be addressed separately. Rather, it is essential to look at the interconnectedness while tackling these issues. With a great threat to our environmental policy, we are faced with the challenge of rebuilding a clean and livable earth with equitable opportunity. Dr. Goldstein notes that there are many struggling across our nation right now, and those in coastal communities face even greater adversity as a result of rising sea levels. Moreover, the existing inequities in our system are being highlighted. Due to our country's history of systematic racism, communities of color receive less disaster aid. Thus, when sea levels rise and flooding ensues or storms wreak havoc, there is further damage to these communities. Dr. Goldstein also connects our economy and our oceans and the importance of linking the two responsibly. Dr Goldstein points toward hope as our state and local governments work to protect our oceans and our people in the wake of rollbacks on environmental protection acts. Dr. Goldstein works hard every day to protect our planet and she lends encouragement to listeners to do the same by voting both federally and locally. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

We often imagine the Jewish family of past generations to have been a bastion of stability and affection in uncertain times. However, at least in eleventh and twelfth century Egypt, the Jewish family was fluid and unstable. Women occasionally married several times during their lives, husbands were often away for long periods of time, and polygamy was not uncommon. The documents of the Cairo Geniza, a rich trove of documents discovered in the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo, reveal how women, with their limited resources, maneuvered in such unstable conditions. Of special interest are the more than 200 women's letters in the Geniza, giving us practically the only extended example of writing by Jewish women from the Middle Ages. How these letters were written? Do they reflect women's authentic voices? What did these women write about? Come and hear! In this episode, Dr. Miriam Goldstein interviews Oded Zinger, a historian that specializes in Jews in Islamic lands.
Imagine doing your due diligence for an upcoming medical procedure by double checking your facility and providers are in-network with your insurance plan, only to later find out that a provider treating you (e.g., an anesthesiologist or radiologist) does not participate in your health plan’s network after you receive a huge out-of-network bill out of nowhere. This is one example of a healthcare issue known as “surprise billing” and it could cost you and your family thousands of dollars. Ask the Expert joins HFA Director of Policy, Miriam Goldstein, to break the issue down for our understanding and explains potential solutions Washington is debating to fix this issue. Also joining us is HFA Director of Advocacy, Sonji Wilkes, a community member who faced this issue firsthand when her son was born and recently shared her story with Congress. A can’t-miss episode of Ask the Expert for all our rare disease advocates! Welcome to Episode 32 - or our Surprise Billing 101 Episode - of the Ask The Expert Podcast! If you receive a bill from an out-of-network provider for planned procedure or have further questions about surprise billing, contact HFA through their website: www.hemophiliafed.org If you have been experiencing issues with your insurance company, HFA wants to hear your story! Project CALLS [Creating Alternatives to Limiting and Lacking Services] is an opportunity for you to share your story and help the entire bleeding disorders community. HFA collects stories from across the country, collates the data, identifies trends, and uses the information to help policymakers and providers better understand and meet the needs of our community.

Our job is to tell decision makers, this issue matters to me. It’s up to us.” - Sonji Wilkes, HFA Director of Advocacy
Shaughnessy and Miriam Goldstein of the Center for American Progress talk about the recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on how climate change and is impacting our oceans and the cryosphere. She explains why plastics as a product of fossil fuels are a double whammy to our oceans and how warming ocean waters, ocean heatwaves and acidification, and melting glaciers are all symptoms of climate change and amplify the effects we feel in stronger storms and threats to ocean ecosystems and food sources.

The 15-year-old Maddie is devoted to her three best friends and they are to her. So, when Brynn gets pregnant, the friends all plan to have children, raising them together and living a dream.

Garbage is inextricably tied to abundance, and we create so much garbage that some people make their livelihoods off it. We wanted to show you some alternative places and uses for your garbage, and the people who capitalize on it: Sophie and Fannie check out Jim Klinko's Furniture on Consignment in Westport, Connecticut, to hear about his life spent flipping other people's cast-offs for cash, and what his work means to him. Plus, we'll take you into some of New York City's finest dumpsters with a group of Freegans who scavenge through grocery store waste in search of their next meal. Then we'll introduce you to Miriam Goldstein, a young marine biologist who started her professional career looking for the Great Pacific Garbage Island. She didn't find a garbage island, but what she found floating in the ocean can only be described as "plastic chowder," and she says there's thousands of miles of it to go around.
Why is it sometimes such a big deal when species end up in the wrong places? On Naked Oceans this month we explore marine invasions and find out how people shift species around the oceans, what problems this causes, and what can be done to stop them. We visit the Caribbean to get the lowdown on a notorious ocean alien, the lionfish, and find out how the best policy could be Eat 'em to beat 'em. Janet Voight tells us about her recent report that warns deepsea explorers to be very careful not to pick up any unwanted hitchhikers. And in Critter of the Month we ask Miriam Goldstein to tell us if she were a marine species, which would she be and why. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
