New Albion coach Ryan Mason has a name which is an occupation, so can we come up with a team of players based on job titles? Miller and Carter will do for starters (even though its not a restaurant chain!)
Sir Francis Drake was one of the many Buccaneers that roamed the shores of North America on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I in the late 1570s. He was an English explorer, sea captain, privateer, slave trader, Elizabethan naval officer, and politician. He is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577-80. This included his incursion into the Pacific Ocean, until then an area of exclusive Spanish interest, and his claim to Nova or New Albion for England, an area in what is now the U.S. state of California.

Renée DeLuca and Don Barkley Renée DeLuca, Jack McAuliffe's daughter, is our special guest today on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. This is Renée's first time on Brew Ha Ha. Her father is one of the most famous figures in craft brewing history. She is visiting Santa Rosa to attend the celebration at the Museum of Sonoma County this coming Saturday, July 20 from 4pm-8pm. It will be in the sculpture garden which is becoming a beer garden for the event. Don Barkley is also in the studio today. He was our in-studio guest on this episode just three weeks ago. This is part one of the podcast of their live radio show, featuring Renée DeLuca with Herlinda Heras and Steve Jaxon. In part two of the podcast, Don Barkley joins them in the studio. That episode is right here.
Renée and Don. The New Albion story continues here in part two of Renée DeLuca and Don Barkley's visit to Brew Ha ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. Part one of today's show, with Renée DeLuca as the featured guest, is on this other podcast episode. Herlinda Heras' father is also in the studio with us today. Don Barkley was on Brew Ha Ha three weeks ago on this episode of June 27. Today he is back to meet Renée and to bring some of Jack McAuliffe's New Albion Ale that he has brewed for the Beer Garden event this Saturday. Don was studying fermentation science at UC Davis when he asked his professor, Dr. Michael Lewis, how he could get a job in the brewing industry. Professor Lewis told him he would have to cut his hair. Don didn't like that idea so the professor suggested he contact Jack McAuliffe, who wouldn't care about long hair. Jack was known for coming to the library and going over all the books about brewing, although he was not enrolled. Don tells the story of going to Sonoma to meet Jack, who initially refused Don. But when Don came back he talked to Susie Dennison and made a deal to work for a case of beer a week. Don still has the recipes. Russian River Brewing Co. will have three race cars on display at their Windsor pub, on Wednesday, July 24. Two top fuel dragsters and one funny car and drivers, will be there to greet visitors. It's a promotion for the NHRA Sonoma Nationals that are taking place at Sonoma Raceway on July 26-28. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. New Albion Pale Ale Kevin Lovett is the brewer at Wolfhouse Brewing Co. He is also the son of Michael Lovett, Don's dearest friend. Michael and Don both started at the New Albion brewery together. Now they are brewing the old recipe at Kevin's brewery. Kevin Lovett was a guest on Brew Ha Ha on June 9, 2022, here is the episode page. In that interview with Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras, we hear about how Kevin literally grew up at Mendocino Brewing Company. Jack McAuliffe has a name for today's beers flavored with ingredients like cinnamon or cardamom. He calls them hula hoop beers, which is hilarious. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. Albion is the name of Britain in ancient Greek and t is also a poetic name for Britain. Sir Francis Drake sailed on his ship The Golden Hind and was the first European to sail into San Francisco Bay. The Golden Hind is the ship on the New Albion Pale Ale label. The best place to get a taste of the New Albion Pale Ale is at the Museum of Sonoma County Summer Beer Garden. It's open from 4-8pm, $15 general admission, ample shady parking available across the street.
Legendary brewer Don Barkley is again our guest on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras today. His last appearance on BHH was this episode of March 28, 2019. Don founded the Mendocino Brewing Company in 1983 as the Hopland Brewery. It was the very first brew pub in the United States. They had a big hit with Red Tail Ale and their brew pub was the model for all subsequent ones. They are brewing a revival of one of Jack McAuliffe's original New Albion Brewing Company recipe. New Albion was the first craft brewery. Jack made all of their equipment himself. Michael Lovett and Don Barkley worked for New Albion and left to start Mendocino Brewing after New Albion closed. Don kept all of Jack's notes and instructions, that is how they have the exact recipe for New Albion Pale Ale to make today. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. At a time when everyone else was producing lager beer, Red Tail Ale was a unique new flavor. They tried to expand the business with some outside investors, but in Don's opinion they were never able to figure out how to make a craft brewery work. Wolfhouse Brewing in Cloverdale is making the beer although they can't call it that. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. It is hard to make it just right. Herlinda remembers a brewer that tried to make it and it wasn't quite right. They also made Blue Heron which was an IPA.
Tara Nurin, historian of brewing, at UC Davis Tara Nurin, historian of women's role in brewing history, is our guest again on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. She was on the show on this episode on February 23, 2023, with her book A Woman's Place Is In the Brewhouse. Lana Svitankova is also here, she is a beer judge from Ukraine and a judging colleague of Herlinda. She is visiting for some events associated with the opening of the Museum of Sonoma County exhibit ON TAP on Saturday April 27 at 4pm. On Tuesday, April 30, at 1 pm, Tara Nurin, Lana Svitankova and Herlinda Heras will be appearing at a conference at UC Davis as part of the Professional Brewing Program. On Saturday, April 27, Tara will be reading the chapter about Sonoma County, at the exhibit. That is the story that starts with the opening of New Albion, the first new brewery post-Prohibition, which opened in 1976. Tara tells the story of the man and two women who founded New Albion. Tara's book tells about the women have been involved in brewing throughout history. Lana has translated some books about brewing into the Ukrainian language. She is also a promoter of the Ukrainian style of beer, a golden ale. She describes it as a cousin of British and Belgian golden ale, the difference is that the Belgian is stronger and the British is lower in ABV and not that sweet. Ukrainians like it sweet and not very bitter. Ukrainian Golden Ale Until recently, a Ukrainian golden ale has been available in markets in Los Angeles. The one that Lana has brought has a name that is hard to pronounce. Lana used to work for a Ukrainian brewery called Barbar, who made golden ale and stout, mostly. Herlinda met Lana when they were judging in Finland and Poland. The Museum of Sonoma County exhibit ON TAP is about the history of hops and beer in Sonoma County. Don Barkley did a video interview with Herlinda, that will be playing in the exhibit. It opened with a big crowd on April 20. It will be open until September 1.
Sir Edmund Plowden (or Ployden) designs an American Colony for which he and his seventeen children will rule as lords over feudal estates, aided by the Knight of New Albion, intent on spreading Catholicism by the book or the sword. However, the territory granted to Sir Edmund by King Charles I overlaps that of New Netherland, New Sweden, an offshoot of the New Haven Colony and the Leni Lenape. Despite the overwhelming challenges ahead, Sir Edmund sails to the New World to set them all straight. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/osoa/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/osoa/support

Eric Stanley from the Museum of Sonoma County is our guest, here to discuss ON TAP Sonoma County Hops and the Craft Beer Revolution, an exhibition that will open on April 20, 2024. He joins Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras, live in the Wine Country Radio studio. Herlinda Heras has been in England and Ireland, which we heard about about over the last few episodes. Now she will be staying in town to assist with the exhibition. There are two paths to this exhibition, as Eric describes it. One is about the history of hops as part of Sonoma County agriculture and the other is about the more recent craft beer revolution. Brew Ha Ha will be a sponsor of this exhibition. Herlinda is personally acquainted with many of the people who have made history in local brewing. She has been busy bringing several of them in to participate. For example, New Albion was the first licensed brewery after the repeal of Prohibition and it opened in the town of Sonoma. Tara Nurin will be appearing and reading from her book, since she interviewed a lot of the women who were part of the revolution, for the book. Natalie and Vinny Cilurzo will be participating as well as Ken Hartoonian, who was on this show recently and who has a big collection of brewing memorabilia. Famous brewers like Mark Carpenter, Ron Lindenbush and Don Barkley will be a part of it as well. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. About the Museum of Sonoma County The Museum of Sonoma County has a permanent Sonoma County history exhibition. called Sonoma County Stories. Gaye LeBaron had a lot to do with it, she is a local historian and friend of Steve. The museum is located in the old Sonoma County Post Office building, which was built in 1910. It is a beautiful building, which had to be moved from its original location, in order to save it. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. They are looking for sponsors for this exhibition, so if you are or work for a candidate for exhibition sponsorship, please contact Herlinda Heras. Visit Homerun Pizza, home of the Knuckleball! Fresh pizza dough made from scratch daily, la pizza è deliziosa! Hops Have Made a Comeback Locally Hop growing used to be a huge local business and recently hops have been making a comeback, as a local crop. There are several reasons for that. Starting in the 1850s this area was a leading hop region in the country, up to Prohibition. But after Prohibition it wasn't until the 1980s that breweries came back. The exhibition will tell the story of what happened to the local hops industry, from the last crop in the early 1960s, up the re-emergence of hops in Sonoma County.

Having first captured our attention with Monolithic Nuance (2018) for Longform Editions, Megan Mitchell's Cruel Diagonals has continued to impress with each new work. With Fractured Whole, she set herself the task of producing an album using nothing but her voice as raw material. While she deserves recognition as a gifted vocalist, she deserves at least as much praise for her production work, alchemically transmuting her voice into a wide range of instruments and textures. In this episode, she discusses the production challenges posed by Fractured Whole, her background in musical theatre, her work with the feminist archive Many Many Women, and much more.

Greetings! Well...in October I was back in Connecticut for my 50th high school reunion and on the way back I had to make my quarterly pilgrimage to the Princeton Record Exchange and load up, thus the title of today's program, an inquiry from my wife. I was thrilled to find a bunch of CDs released on Foster Reed's wonderful New Albion label. I've never been a completist about any label or artist, but I've been making a concerted effort to obtain the New Albion catalog due to their consistent high quality in terms of performances, composers and recording quality. While no longer producing new releases, they are available for digital download. Do check their catalog out. http://www.newalbion.com Enjoy!

This episode features Tara Nurin, author of A Woman's Place Is In the Brewhouse. It was originally recorded on November 4, 2021. The Drive has been on summer vacation and we haven't had new Brew Ha Ha shows. This is the last repeat episode before next week when The Drive returns to live radio, Wine Country Radio 95.5 FM, Mon-Fri 3-6. The first new episode of Brew Ha Ha will be Thursday, August 24. Cheers! Tara Nurin Tara Nurin, author of A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse, joins Herlinda Heras and Harry Duke on Brew Ha Ha today. Mark Carpenter is away this week and Harry Duke is sitting in for Steve Jaxon. Tara Nurin is the Forbes magazine beer and spirits business writer. She has been working on this book for four years and she is finally on book tour! She has a book signing event at Russian River Brewing Co. on December 16, 2021. Herlinda suggests she could do a special label beer for the occasion. Tara describes the book, the first to document the rich history of women in brewing. The book looks at economic, political and religious factors and there are interviews with all the prominent women in the brewing business over the last several decades, such as Natalie Cilurzo, CEO of Russian River Brewing Co. New Albion Most people do not know the whole story about the first new ground-up craft brewery in the US after Prohibition, founded in 1976 in the town of Sonoma, called New Albion. There were two women who worked with the founder Jack McAuliffe, and they did the funding and the accounting. They were hard to get for interviews but Tara met one of them, Susie, and features her story in the book. Tara Nurin will be at Russian River Brewing Co. on December 16, for a book signing of "A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse: A forgotten history of alewives, brewsters, witches and CEOs." Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.

SynopsisA famous commercial for magnetic recording tape once asked the question: “Is it live—or Memorex”—suggesting it was hard to tell the difference. These days, at concerts of some contemporary composers' works, the correct answer would be “It's live AND Memorex”—as there is a growing body of works that involve both live performers and prerecorded tape.A 1995 work by the American composer Ingram Marshall, titled Dark Waters, was written for an English horn soloist accompanied by a prerecorded tape of fragments from old 78-rpm recordings of Jean Sibelius' chilly tone-poem “The Swan of Tuonela.” Both the live English horn part and the prerecorded tape are digitally processed and mixed at each live performance. “Those who know the Sibelius will recognize familiar strains,” says Marshall.On today's date in 1998, Marshall and Libby Van Cleve, the English horn player for whom Dark Waters was written, recorded the work at St. Casimir's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. “You can actually hear the sound of that church in the recording,” recalls Van Cleve. “We finished at about 3 AM, and it was stiflingly hot—How ironic that Ingram's music—and Sibelius'—is always associated with cold climates!”Music Played in Today's ProgramIngram Marshall (b. 1942) Dark Waters Libby van Cleve, English horn; Ingram Marshall, electronics New Albion 112

Synopsis On this day* in 1888, the orchestral suite “Scheherazade,” the most famous work of the Russian composer Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, was first performed in St. Petersburg. The suite evokes episodes from “The Arabian Nights.” Though Rimsky-Korsakov was Russian, and most often concentrated on operas based on RUSSIAN history and fable, it's ironic that his most popular work was inspired by folklore and fables from the Middle East. Until recently, Western knowledge of the Middle Eastern music was mostly limited to such second-hand accounts. But today, we're discovering first-hand both the traditional music of the Middle East and new works by contemporary composers from that part of the world. One of these is Iranian-born American composer Reza Vali, who was born in Ghazvin, Iran in 1952 and began his musical studies at the Teheran Conservatory. In 1972, he moved to Vienna and studied at the Academy of Music, and then came to America to study at University of Pittsburgh. Despite his training in Western technique, Vali has returned to the instruments and traditions of Persian music for inspiration. “Music is like the ocean,” he once said in an interview. “It moves between cultures. It doesn't have boundaries. But that doesn't mean that you have to lose your identity … you can have a pluralistic approach by also keeping your identity.” *Julian calendar date: October 22 Music Played in Today's Program Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) Scheherazade, Op. 35 Atlanta Symphony; Robert Spano, conductor.

Genetic progress happens faster today than it did decades ago. Is there an ideal pace?Two Angus producers discuss how they use embryo transfer (ET), artificial insemination (AI) and natural service in their breeding programs, and how they draw on genomic and phenotypic data to make their selections in the first place.“A really good breeder told me about 30 years ago … part of this thing is getting there as fast as you can. He said, just as importantly, never back up. So, you know, try to balance risk and reward,” says Ben Eggers, Sydenstricker Genetics.He and Darin Meyer, De-Su Angus, cover a lot of ground in this one.HOSTS: Mark McCully, Brett Spader, Miranda Reiman GUESTS: Ben Eggers, Sydenstricker Genetics; Darin Meyer, De-Su Angus GUEST BIOS: Ben Eggers has been involved in breeding registered Angus cattle since he acquired his first 4-H project heifer in 1964. He was active in 4-H, FFA and junior Angus, and as he grew up, became one of the youngest members of the Missouri Beef Cattle Improvement Association, while performance testing was in its infancy. He has worked for several Angus breeders through the years, and has been at Sydenstricker Genetics, Mexico, Mo., for 40 years this month. His wife, Darla, handles all the data submission for SydGen. He is a past president of Missouri Cattlemen's Association, the Beef Improvement Federation and the American Angus Association.Darin Meyer grew up on a diversified farm in northeast Iowa, where he gained experience with both dairy cattle and commercial beef cattle. Early on he showed an interest in the genetic side of the business, and his dad allowed him to take ownership in their breeding programs. Since then, he and his family have expanded the dairy business and added a registered Angus herd, forming De-Su Angus with locations in New Albion and Fremont, Iowa, which is the former Summit Crest Iowa farm. They have 1,500 cows, and focus on creating the highest $C cattle, while maintaining function. A crew of dedicated employees do everything from cattle care, reproductive ultrasound, artificial insemination to an in-house embryo transfer flush program.Related Reading: http://www.angusjournal.com/articlepdf/0322-et.pdf http://www.angusjournal.com/articlepdf/ararecommodity.pdf
Doug and Bear head back to the No Job Too Small IT consultancy office to peruse the strange book they found at July's place. Will it give them any clues as to what she's been up to out in the forests of Sternum? Or will it send them down another rabbit-hole of spectral histories and fleeting visions?Hit play above to listen, or scroll down to read. Either way, please enjoy, and do share with any friends who you think might like APOCALYPSE ROCK! “WE LEFT IT AS WE FOUND IT.”Doug and Bear were back at Doug's office. It was still a mess from the previous day's suspected break-in. Doug was sitting at his desk and talking on the phone with Officer Singh, his breath steamed in the chilly air.“We knocked on the door and shouted her name but didn't hear anything… No… No. I don't think she's trying to hide. Maybe from you or Sweetland, I would understand, but not from us.”Doug fiddled with a cigarette, the window next to his desk already open in preparation.“No, we didn't go in… Okay, alright.”Doug hung up, looked around the mess then at Bear, who was in the chair opposite, jacket on and arms crossed, shaking his downturned head. Bear stood up and carefully walked through the stuff scattered across the floor.“Man, they tore this place apart,” Bear sighed. “You got coffee?”“Yep. In the kitchen. I'll have one if you're making.”Doug looked up at the large poster map of the Salish Sea that hung on the wall. The jagged coastlines and hundreds of islands looked protected against the vast Pacific Ocean that was just hinted at by a small lip along the left side of the map.Doug opened July's laptop and punched in the password. The input field wobbled and an “Incorrect” message came up on the screen in red letters.Bear clattered around in the kitchenette, preparing coffee.“She hasn't changed her password in decades…” Doug mumbled to himself, then tried again. The same negative result wobbled up on the screen.Doug scoffed, closed the laptop and picked up the book they had taken from July's desk, running his fingers through the multicolored tabs of post-it notes sprouting from inside the pages. The laminated dust cover had started to blister with age. Beneath the ornately scripted title “Don't Climb Trees…” was an old black and white photograph of a small, forested islet floating in a mirror-like sea. Spindly evergreen trees reached up from the rocky shores and into the mist, their reflections undulating in the smooth waters below. The shoreline was cluttered with a hodgepodge of tiny wooden shacks that jutted out into the still sea, their little chimneys seeped out wispy smoke. Small boats bobbed close to the shacks, and near the camera's eye there floated logs and other refuse. Under the image were the authors' names, Sanctity DeVray & Whispering Bird. Below that read “Published by the Anderson P. Andersen Collection.”Doug opened the book. On the inside cover was stamped “Sternum Island Public Library” in black ink. Pasted opposite on the flyleaf was a pocket for an old library checkout card, the slip still inside, covered in due dates. The first was May 1989, the last was September 2005. “Withdrawn From Circulation” was stamped across the pocket in red ink.A gurgling sound came from the kitchen and the smell of brewing coffee started to fill the chilly air. Doug leafed through the book, his fingers sticking on the paper. There were maps of the Pacific Northwest, old black and white photographs of longhouses and totem poles, colonial buildings and cemeteries, moss-covered cairns and Christian graves overgrown with shrubs. There were groups of young men posing heroically with oversized saw blades in front of giant, felled trees, of indigenous men dressed in a mix of their traditional attire and European suits and bowler hats, of small figures in distant dugout canoes paddling through the misty sea. There were stern-faced members of old religious orders gathered around tables decorated with flowers in celebration, then young hippies in kayaks, or frolicking among camper vans and teepees by the sea, naked children with long hair joyously splashing in a watering hole.“I properly googled Sweetland last night,” Bear shouted from the kitchenette. Doug heard the sound of coffee pouring into cups.“I reached out to some contacts on a couple forums as well. I couldn't find anything about him being a cop anywhere else other than here. It's like he just up and left his couples counseling business back east, then appeared here one day, dressed as a Mountie. And that was that. Bob's your uncle.”Bear emerged from the kitchenette with two steaming mugs of coffee.“Ta-da, you're a Mountie!”“It's possible this was his first post?” replied Doug. “He wouldn't be the first person to move out west to reinvent themselves, right?”Doug took one of the mugs of coffee. Bear looked on as Doug continued to flip through the pages of the old book.The chapters were brief, each describing specific locations, dates of when the burial sites were actively used, various burial rites, and some local lore. Many of the pages had notes inscribed in a neat longhand script in pencil, about the different sites, personal recollections of visits to the places, cryptic annotations about geography, and so on.“Is that July's handwriting?” Bear asked.“Pretty sure,” replied Doug. He turned to the index at the back and looked up Sternum Island. There were four entries in the same chapter, Chemainus, Christian, Cowichan, Saanich. He flipped to the chapter. A map of Sternum Island was dotted with several burial sites, and overtop that July had jotted down dozens of potential sites on the northwest side of Mount Costo. Next to the cluster of dots she had written “Hippies.” Another dot – this one by the book authors, not July – marked the center of Sternum Village, just up the lane on Orchard Grove. It was July's cabin.“There's bodies buried in July's garden?” Bear wondered.Doug raised his eyebrows at Bear then turned the page. On the left was a picture of a gathering of cairns in the woods, covered in forest debris and ferns.“Mount Costo plateau has numerous, uncounted burial sites, many of which were made inaccessible after a landslide.” Doug read out the caption below the image.“I remember my granddad telling me about a landslide up Costo,” said Bear. “But that was near the old garbage dump up there.”On the right page was a photograph of July's cabin when it was newly built. Apart from the structure settling into the uneven ground beneath it over the years, little about the cabin had changed to present day. A family of five, dressed in their Victorian Sunday best, posed outside on the porch steps. It was a sunny day, the vast garden behind the group lush and verdant looking. Over the shoulder of the straight-backed father, Doug could make out the diamond-gridded window. Doug squinted at the face of the mother, her eyes hidden in shadows, prominent cheekbones and a long, thin-lipped mouth.Despite the blurriness, there was a strong resemblance with July's long and expressive face. Cradled in the woman's arms was a baby. There was a caption below the picture, “Original Sternum Island homesteaders family, the Shackles, outside their Orchard Grove cabin in 1898. Several early pioneers are buried in unmarked graves nearby on family land.” The neat longhand script had underlined the name Shackles, drawing a line out into the margin, noting, “Edith Shackles neé Billy married William Conrad Shackles, New Albion 1886. Edwina (baby) married into Straitemores 1928, Patricia (3 y/o) married into McDonalds 1920, Charlotte (4 y/o) married into Hardens 1923.”“This must be July's great-grandparents and grandparents,” said Doug. “They'd've just built the place and moved in.”Bear took the book and smiled, “There's so few buildings left from then. Back when Terminal was still called New Albion. Barely past being a one-horse town.”Doug laughed, “I remember July telling me that her grandmother was quite the flapper in the 20s,” he said, pointing to the blurry little baby. His finger moved back to the mother, Edith, her shadowed face's contours echoing July's.“It's uncanny,” remarked Bear. “Has July ever said anything about her grandmother?”“Not really,” replied Doug.“July never mentioned it,” said Bear. “I'd guess her great-grandmother was First Nations, with that last name.”“Billy?” Doug squinted at July's handwriting and Bear nodded.“Was that normal back then, like natives and white people getting married and everything?” asked Doug.“More than you'd guess,” replied Bear. “All those guys from back east or Europe moving out here? Chasing a dream. They sure as hell weren't going back home. Sooner or later they'd want a family. When that sets in, people tend to lose whatever prejudices they might have real quick, I guess. It's the oldest story there is.” Bear handed the book back to Doug.“You can see she was looking everywhere on Sternum for burial sites,” said Doug, flipping through the rest of the chapter, then turned back to the map of Sternum.Doug popped the cigarette in his mouth and lit it up.“Especially up Costo,” said Bear, raising his cup.They sipped on their coffees and some rain-speckled wind blew gently through the window. Tendrils of smoke curled up around Doug as he skimmed through the book.“What're you smoking?” Bear scrunched his nostrils.“American Spirit. Why?” They both looked at the cigarette in Doug's hand.“Smells weird, man. Like burning tires,” Bear stood up and sniffed.Doug stubbed out the butt and stood up, the two sniffing at the strange odor that now wafted through the chilly air, getting stronger and more pungent.Out the window, dark plumes flew over Doug's office and into the forest behind.They ran out to the front of the office. In the distance, up the gravel lane, above the tall trees, a thick stream of dark smoke rose into the grey sky.“July's cabin!” shouted Doug. This is a public episode.

THE HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL STRANGE MUSIC DAY International Strange Music Day was created by Patrick Grant, a New York City musician and composer. The aim of the celebration was to get people to play and listen to types of music that they had not before. Grant believed that something as simple as broadening our musical taste can also make us broadminded and more accepting of others. He follows the mantra ‘listening without prejudice.' Grant also picked the day to promote his new album “Fields Amaze” in 1997, as a way to honor his girlfriend's father (and his artistic mentor) on his birthday. By 2002, the day became an international phenomenon with various artists and venues. This growing movement is now attached to concerts, hosts a record label, and gains popular support from summer schools. The day is also appreciated as a great way to stimulate young minds. 8-27-22 PTE Playlist: Celebrating International Strange Music Day Fields Amaze - Patrick Grant - FIELDS AMAZE and other sTRANGE music-: 20th Anniversary Edition Pepergreen Media (2018) https://tiltedaxes.bandcamp.com/album/fields-amaze-and-other-strange-music Infinite Queue 5 / Gravity Assist 2 - Jeff Carey - index [off] - digital self-release (2020) https://jeffcarey.bandcamp.com/album/index-off Roses & Teeth for Ludwig Wittgenstein - Matmos - The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth of A Beast - Matador (2006) https://matmos.bandcamp.com/album/the-rose-has-teeth-in-the-mouth-of-a-beast Thermoplastic Riot Shield - Matmos - Plastic Anniversary - Thrill Jockey (2019) https://matmos.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-anniversary Flight To Sodom _ Lot do Sodom - Matmos - Regards/Ukłony dla Bogusław Schaeffer - Thrill Jockey (2022) https://matmos.bandcamp.com/ Project for Tuba and Tape (1980) - tuba: Zdzisław Piernik /composer, tape: Bogusław Schäffer - Tuba Universale - Pro Viva (1980) https://soundcloud.com/piernicazioni/sets/piernik-plays-sikora-schaffer-borkowski-zajaczek-piernik-pro-viva-1980 Gala / The Governeses' Departure - Petridisch - Les Gouvernantes (The Governesses) - digital self-release (2022) https://petridisch.bandcamp.com/album/les-gouvernantes The Most Unwanted Music - David Soldier (2015) https://davesoldier.com/experimental.html Kimbolton Gnome Song (1981) - Renaldo & The Loaf - Songs For Swinging Larvae / Songs From The Surgery - Klanggalerie (2015) https://klanggalerie.bandcamp.com/album/songs-for-swinging-larvae-songs-from-the-surgery Aloha! - Main Title Theme - Cristobal Tapia De Veer - The White Lotus (soundtrack from the HBO Original Limited Series) - Watertower Music (2021) https://www.watertower-music.com/releases/release.php?title=thewhitelotus Goosebump (1980): Disaster / Plants / Farmers / Twinkle - The Residents - Diskomo 2000 - East Side Digital (2000) https://www.residents.com/historical/?page=diskomo#diskomo2000 Tevye's Dream - Negativland - Knitting On The Roof - Knitting Factory Records / Jewish Alternative Movement (1999) Gadberry's- Carl Stone - Mom's - New Albion (1992) https://carlstone.bandcamp.com/music
Sir Francis Drake was one of the many Buccaneers that roamed the shores of North America on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I in the late 1570s. He was an English explorer, sea captain, privateer, slave trader, Elizabethan naval officer, and politician. He is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577-80. This included his incursion into the Pacific Ocean, until then an area of exclusive Spanish interest, and his claim to Nova or New Albion for England, an area in what is now the U.S. state of California.

Kevin Lovett from Wolf House Brewing is our in-studio guest today on Brew Ha Ha with Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras. Kevin was master brewer for Cloverdale Ale Co when he bought Wolf House in October 2019. He was going to open two places at once. He is inspired by Jack London, who was a Glen Ellen resident. Some other beers are also named after Jack London stories. The beer they are drinking is called Burning Daylight, which is the title of a Jack London short story. Dutch Courage is another one. We hear about how they managed to open the brewery and restaurant and then finally the music venue. This achievement has fulfilled his original goals. The Freshtival is coming up this Saturday, June 25, 2022. Check out the Freshtival page at the Hen House site for all the info. Lots of food, beer and music, including some gluten free choices, something for everybody. No beer will be older than seven days. Get tickets on Eventbrite. Kevin has brewed a special Hazy beer for the Freshtival that is flavored with some familiar and some new hops. Kevin's dad Michael Lovett was a co-founder with Don Barkley of the iconic Mendocino Brewing Co., makers of the renowned Red Tail Ale, which everyone misses. They worked at New Albion under Jack McCauliffe, the first new brewery to open after Prohibition and an originator in what became a movement. When New Albion closed, Don and Michael got the equipment to use for Mendocino Brewing. Kevin worked at his father's brewery when he was growing up and then he worked for others including Napa Smith and Brian Hunt's Moonlight Brewing. He became very good at building breweries and is grateful for the mentoring and the opportunities he found in brewing. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more info. The Wolf House Brewing taproom is located at 131 E. 1st Street in Cloverdale. There are locals and others who come from pretty far away because “the word is getting out.” Burning Daylight is his Pilsner. He thinks it's the best beer he has made. They also have a beer called Therapy Session. Pilsners are hard to make and he credits Brian Hunt for teaching him about Lagers and Pilsners and he always has each strain of yeast available. They have a 9-barrel system so he brews 3 times a month or so. They plan to raise their capacity so they can get into more places. Kevin and his sister and brother-in-law, a chef, are partners in the brewery. They have a full menu including something called a Cloverdale Twinkie, which is a jumbo Jalapeño pepper stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and deep fried. Wolf House Brewing has a pedigree behind it due to Kevin Lovett's personal history and experience. He grew up at the Hopland brewery taphouse. His first job was bussing tables in about 1995 so he got to be a part of it before it all changed. When he came back in 2005 it was an empty lot and now Ron Lindenbusch has turned it into a destination again. Wolf House and Hopland Tap would be a good two-fer for a day trip. They have a lot of live music, including lots of kinds of Rock (the old joke, “Music? We got both kinds! Country AND Western!”) Kevin Lovett will pour his Hazy beer at the Freshtival but he won't give it a name until he tastes it.
In a change to the usual programme, this week we present a “highlight” from the career of Theodore Pilkington-Rhubarb. This particular show is from his early works providing and English commentary for Jeopardy In Icing 1861, a second-rate cooking programme from Gaul. In this episode there is a surprise result. Who saw that coming? Certainly not the French! Voice of the Announcer by Darren Gooding. All music by Charlotte Savigar.
In 1976 Jack McAuliffe started New Albion Brewing Company which is widely considered the first microbrewery in the US. Jack doesn't do interviews anymore but we tracked down his daughter, Renee DeLuca who filled us in on the details and wow, what a story! As an added bonus Renee talks about not knowing that Jack was her father until she was an adult and what it was like meeting him for the first time.
Tara Nurin, author of A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse, joins Herlinda Heras and Harry Duke on Brew Ha Ha today. Mark Carpenter is away this week and Harry Duke is sitting in for Steve Jaxon. Tara Nurin is the Forbes magazine beer and spirits business writer. She has been working on this book for four years and she is finally on book tour! She has a book signing event at Russian River Brewing Co. on December 16, 2021. Herlinda suggests she could do a special label beer for the occasion. Tara describes the book, the first to document the rich history of women in brewing. The book looks at economic, political and religious factors and there are interviews with all the prominent women in the brewing business over the last several decades, such as Natalie Cilurzo, CEO of Russian River Brewing Co. Most people do not know the whole story about the first new ground-up craft brewery in the US after Prohibition, founded in 1976 in the town of Sonoma, called New Albion. There were two women who worked with the founder Jack McAuliffe, and they did the funding and the accounting. They were hard to get for interviews but Tara met one of them, Susie, and features her story in the book. Tara Nurin will be at Russian River Brewing Co. on December 16, for a book signing of "A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse: A forgotten history of alewives, brewsters, witches and CEOs." Brew Ha Ha is sponsored by the Santa Rosa branch of Yoga Six located in Coddingtown Center.

Synopsis In the 19th century European composers began celebrating their own national diversity, tapping into their native folk music for inspiration and musical themes. This trend continues in our own time with composers from the Pacific Rim and Middle East. Take this music, written for the modern flute and cello, two traditional European instruments, but influenced by the folk music and native instruments of Persia. The performers are asked at times to play and sing simultaneously. For the flute, this results in overtones and a timbre similar to the Persian bamboo flute. And the cellist, by sharply plucking some strings, or striking them with the wooden part of his bow, also imitates Persian percussion instruments. The composer of this Folk Song Suite, based on real and imagined Persian themes, is Reza Vali. He was born in Ghazvin, Iran, on today's date in 1952, and began his musical studies at the Conservatory of Music in Tehran. In 1972, Reza Vali traveled to Austria to study at the Vienna Academy of Music, then came to the United States, earning his doctorate in music theory and composition from the University of Pittsburgh in 1985, and subsequently joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University.

It's a busy show today, as Megan Anderson and Tara Nurin both join Herlinda Heras, who is back from a three-week trip to Estonia and Finland. Tara Nurin writes about the business of beverages and spirits for Forbes magazine, from her home base in Camden, New Jersey. Megan Anderson is the representative of New Zealand hops growers. Herlinda was in Finland judging the national beer competition and the national Sahti competition. She was the first American judge in either competition. Sahti is the Finnish national home brew. Herlinda describes the Finnish habit of taking a sauna (which they pronounce “SOW-na” not “SAW-na” as English speakers tend to say) and then plunging into the cold lake and going back and forth between the sauna and the lake. Steve says, “No, thank you!” Herlinda says it got rid of her jet lag pretty quickly. It's the cleanest country she has ever been to. They have free health care for everyone. Car registration and traffic fines are scaled by income. They have very clean water and their lager beers tasted clean and delicious and so were the Baltic Porters. Herlinda also visited Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. New Zealand hops have a special reputation among beer fans. Her organization is a cooperative of twenty-seven growers. They have been growing hops in this reagion of New Zealand for 150 years. They grow some of the best hops in the world, such as Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka. Megan is here to promote a new one, called Nectaron. Some of their hops have trademarked and registered names. See them all here at the NZ Hops website. Some have exotic names derived from other languages such as Moutere (which seems derived from French where it would be “moo-TER”). They say “MOO-ter-ee.” One is called Mouteka. Nectaron is named for Dr. Ron Bitzen, a botanist who worked on hops his entire career and who created Nectaron out of 12 years of R&D. Nelson Sauvin was created from their breeding program and released in 2000. It's a very distinctive hop. They have limited supply, 1800 acres, and they are under 1% of the world supply, but they have special qualities. Sahti is one of the oldest styles of alcoholic beverage in Europe, and does not use hops because when it was developed they did not use hops. They use juniper as a flavoring. Herlinda found that the Sahti brews she was judging were quite similar and she had to find a way to differentiate among them. Also, it is not carbonated. Next week she will bring some to this show, to taste with Mark Carpenter. Tara Nurin has just published her book, A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse: A forgotten history of alewives, witches, brewsters and CEOs. She has her first official book event Sunday at Urban Roots Brewery in Sacramento, California. She is planning another book signing with Russian River Brewing Co., probably for December. Lagunitas Stereohopic IPA uses hop oil. I small bottle of hop oil can flavor a large batch and ultimately much more efficient use of water. Megan points out that the botanists spend a lot of time “chasing flavors” and she credits the impetus of the craft beer industry for pushing the demand for better more interesting hops. Megan Anderson's first job in the beer market was at Samual Adams, as a beer salesperson and trainer, for ten years. Megan moved to Idaho to work for a hop company called Mill 95. There, she met some New Zealanders. She found a company in Kalamazoo, Michigan that makes a hop oil. Then she met Totally Natural Solutions, that produces a totally natural hop oil. Her dream job materialized with the New Zealand hop growers offered her a job. In New Zealand there are some 5th and 6th generations of children growing hops in the fields of their family farms. In 2010 she started a home brew club and one of the members was Jack McAuliffe, the founder of New Albion. It was the first new brewery founded here after Prohibition. They made the first American pale ale. Natalie Cilurzo is in Tara's book,
Wot ho and, indeed, ay caramba! It's time for the ARC Light Programme to detune itself in real time once again. This week on Slumbertime Stories it's the second part of EAR-MOO B from Tales of New Albion Volume 2. Beyond that is anyone's guess. Another round of “Can You Guess What It Is That I'm Describing?” perhaps? Who knows? For more about Tales of New Albion please visit www.talesofnewalbion.com and buy one of their fine books, if not the brace. All music by Charlotte Savigar.
Synopsis On this date in 1787, an obituary in London's Morning Post noted the passing two days earlier of Carl Friedrich Abel – composer, concert impresario and viola da gamba virtuoso – aged 63. The viola da gamba was the forerunner of the modern cello. Its heyday was in the 17th century be soon after the softer-voiced gamba lost out to the more powerful cello. Abel's obituary remarked that: “his favorite instrument was not in general use and would probably die with him.” Well, as usual, the press got it partly right – the gamba did pass out of general use for almost 150 years, but the early music revival in the 20th century has renewed interest in the viola da gamba, and today there's even NEW music being composed for this old instrument: for example Roy Whelden's “Prelude and Divisions on ‘She's So Heavy'” – based on the Beatles tune by Lennon and McCartney. Roy Whelden was born in 1950 in New Hampshire. Until age 23, his instruments were the trumpet, and secondarily, the cello, but he fell in love with the viola da gamba and ended up playing with and composing for period instrument groups like Ensemble Alcatraz and American Baroque.

Max Alper is best known for La Meme Young, his popular Instagram account turning niche experimental music jokes into dank memes. But a deep interest in music pedagogy is at the heart of everything Alper does, including his non-profit Sonic Arts For All!, an organization that puts music technology directly into the hands of K-12 and special needs students. We talk about the importance of creativity, memes as pedagogy, the limits of traditional music education, and how to democratize music technology.

Chin up old thing, it’s time for the ARC Light Programme to return once again. This week on Slumbertime Stories Theodore reads the first part of EAR-MOO B from Tales of New Albion Volume 2. What else? Well I suspect they’ll try and do another round of “Can You Guess What It Is That I’m Describing?” but I’m sure that won’t go wrong at all. Nope, not a chance bound to be fine. For more about Tales of New Albion please visit www.talesofnewalbion.com and buy one of their fine books, if not both. Indeed definitely buy both. All music by Charlotte Savigar.

In a change to the usual programme, this week the ARC Light Programme brings you a "Special" feature. To commemorate the fourth anniversary of him joining the ARC, Theodore Pilkington-Rhubarb talks us through an infamous on-air moment known as “A Martian Calls”. So pin back your lug holes and listen to this tale of utter catastrophe. All music composed and played by Charlotte Savigar. Egor the Almost Indestructible’s translator box played by James King.

A might huzzah is let forth from the mouths of men, women, children and semi-sentient dolphins as Tales of New Albion returns once again. This week there are the manifold delights of the second part of Crash Again (Again) read as always by the voice, legs and teeth of Theodore Pilkington-Rhubarb. On the downside there is also another chance to win 3 shillings with the Listener’s Quiz – “Can you guess what it is that I’m describing?” Where you have to guess what it is that Theodore is describing.

Attention nation, please stand by for an urgent message from the ARC (Please note this is a pre-recorded message, so don’t bother phoning the Corporation to complain, there’s nobody here).

This week on the Light Programme it seems that Theodore is still unavailable, due to an ongoing crisis of character. So, once again, we have the multi-award winning journalist, writer and think-tank contributor, PG Basilthorpe-Stilton OAE condescending to the populace. This week, presumably, reading someone else’s storyin a morbid fashion. Send help. For more about Tales of New Albion please visit www.talesofnewalbion.com and buy one of the fine books. All music by Charlotte Savigar.
This week on the Light Programme it seems that Theodore is unavailable, due to an unfortunate lapse in moral fibre. Instead, at very short (and expensive) notice, we have the journalist and writer PG Basilthorpe-Stilton OAE educating the nation with regards to the first Great Martian War, by reading an extract from his memoires – The Whole of History and How I Wrote It. Frightful bore. For more about Tales of New Albion please visit www.talesofnewalbion.com and buy one of the fine books. All music by Charlotte Savigar.
Where do all the airships go? It’s a good question, and we’re about to find out as it’s time, once again for Slumbertime Stories on the Light Programme, and this week it’s a story called “Welcome to Aeropa”. It’s read as usual by Theodore Pilkington-Rhubarb and there will probably be some sort of listener phoning in. Or perhaps there won’t, it’s getting hard to tell these days. All music by Charlotte Savigar. For more information, or to buy a copy of Tales of New Albion, go to www.talesofnewalbion.com
Welcome to our first Break from Books! This was also our first time recording with a guest, Jake, in the same room! We send out a big thank you to Jake, a fellow book enthusiast, not only for joining us on this podcast, but for introducing Kendra to this awesome performance in the first place! Since this was our first time with a guest in the room recording, we ended up recording with our computer instead of one microphone. So we apologize in advance for all the movement and background noises you will hear! (We promise it isn’t too bad!) Dolls of New Albion is an amazing steampunk opera that not only has a complex and interesting story, but an addicting soundtrack. Join us as we follow the McAlistair family across four generations in New Albion as each generation makes drastic impacts on the city and traverse their own tales of twisted love. Once you have finished with our summary of Dolls of New Albion, make sure to check out the soundtrack yourself. We highly suggest listening to the actual soundtrack first instead of the performances online. Here is a link you can use to find the songs on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8bdFhL3DcsZURM9ZpExX7w7e15RQ0kyk When you are done listening, send us an email or hit us up on social media to share your favorite songs!Have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow!

This week! Has been a week. What a week, in fact. Thankfully we recorded this before the election, because who knows what would have happened otherwise. This week! Philip talks about tannins in wine, what they do, and how they help wine age. Probably. Maybe. & Liam gives an oral history of New Albion brewing, and it's role in the history of craft beer.
