American chestnut trees once towered over the landscape, dominating forests in parts of the eastern United States. But in the late 1800s, a fungal blight virtually wiped them out across the country. Chestnut restoration scientist Jared Westbrook tells Host Ira Flatow how new genetic work could speed up efforts to breed fungal resistance into hybrid chestnuts and create a heartier chestnut population.  Then, author Hanna Lewis introduces Ira to the concept of miniforests, self-sustaining native forest ecosystems on a tiny footprint, like an empty lot or a schoolyard. The planting method, developed by botanist Akira Miyawaki, can help “rewild” small parcels of land by jump-starting forest development. Read our full story, The Miniforest Movement Gains Ground In The U.S. Guests: Dr. Jared Westbrook is Director of Science for the American Chestnut Foundation in Asheville, North Carolina. Hanna Lewis is the author of the book Mini-Forest Revolution: Using the Miyawaki Method to Rapidly Rewild the World.

How to Revolutionize Local FoodIn this Episode Dana Choquette, the Executive Director of the Western North Carolina Food Coalition, shares how a first-generation regenerative livestock farmer became a regional leader in local food system infrastructure. From backyard sheep during COVID to coordinating 12 food hubs and 9 food councils, Dana explains how small farms can transform local economies, reduce food insecurity, and strengthen community resilience. This episode explores food hubs, policy innovation, hunger relief, and why collaboration—not competition—is the future of regional food systems.Our Guest:  Dana Choquette is the executive director of a 19 county community coalition that works to strengthen the local food system in western North Carolina. She mobilizes projects to help people in all corners of the food system from those experiencing hunger to those building viable small farms. All while building local food distribution infrastructure. She's a first generation regenerative livestock farmer, and particularly loves working with sheep and cattle.Key Topics & EntitiesWestern North Carolina Food Coalition (WNC Food Coalition)Dana Choquette's transition from urban life to regenerative livestock farmingWestern North Carolina's 19-county food systemFood hubs as aggregation and distribution infrastructureWNC Food Hub Collaborative (12 independent hubs collaborating regionally)Grow Where You Live Policy (community gardens in high-density housing)Food councils (9 hyper-local councils across WNC)Community-based food pantries and 24/7 open-access pantriesManna FoodBank partnershipWarehouse aggregation and distribution modelInstitutional food purchasing vs. national distributorsCarbon footprint and local food sourcingFarmer viability and consistent market outletsChris Smith's book The Whole OkraKey Questions AnsweredHow did Dana transition from urban living to farming and food systems leadership?Dana had no farming experience until nearly age 30. After relocating from Colorado to Western North Carolina during COVID, she and her husband started with backyard sheep. What began as a trial experiment quickly evolved into expanded livestock, leased land, and a deep commitment to producing food for their community. That hands-on experience led her into food systems work and ultimately to leading the WNC Food Coalition.What is a food coalition and how does it function regionally?A food coalition coordinates local stakeholders across the food system—from hunger relief to farmer support to policy advocacy. In Western North Carolina, the coalition serves 19 counties through 9 hyper-local food councils, each responding to the specific needs of its community.What is a food hub and why is it important?Food hubs are brick-and-mortar aggregation and distribution centers that purchase food from local farmers and redistribute it to consumers, institutions, CSAs, retail outlets, and food pantries. They create consistent market outlets for farmers, reduce distribution gaps, and help keep food dollars circulating locally.How do food hubs differ from national distributors?National distributors aggregate global food at scale, often prioritizing cost efficiency. Food hubs prioritize local sourcing, fair farmer compensation, shorter supply chains, and lower carbon footprints. They also strengthen local economies and improve freshness and nutritional value.How is the WNC region addressing hunger right now?The coalition partners with Manna FoodBank and operates 24/7 open-access community pantries, direct home delivery, and snack bag programs for unhoused individuals. Their approach blends immediate relief with long-term systems change.What is the Grow Where You Live Policy?A proposed Asheville policy requiring new high-density housing developments to include at least 5,000 square feet of community growing space, along with long-term maintenance support.What was the coalition's biggest failure and lesson learned?Early on, the organization tried to solve too many food system challenges at once. They narrowed their focus, strengthened core programs, and built capacity before expanding again.What is the coalition's biggest success?Bringing 12 independent food hubs together into a collaborative network focused on regional impact rather than competition.Episode HighlightsDana began farming with Craigslist sheep and YouTube tutorials during COVID.Western North Carolina's terrain forces farmers to be scrappy and innovative.Food hubs offer consistent year-round markets for small farmers.The region supports 12 collaborating food hubs and 9 food councils.The coalition operates a central warehouse to aggregate donations and distribute food across multiple counties.24/7 open-access pantries remove barriers to food access.Local food improves freshness, nutrition, and taste.Dana's driving motivation: building a resilient food system for her daughter's future.ResourcesWestern North Carolina Food Coalition — https://www.wncfoodcoalition.orgInstagram — https://www.instagram.com/wncfoodsystemsBecome a Member — https://www.wncfoodcoalition.org (Join for as little as $1)Show Notes — https://urbanfarm.org/WNCFoodCoalitionBook Recommendation — The Whole Okra by Chris SmithNeed a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.   They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

We are pleased to share this Special Edition with Jay Timmons, President and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). Jay has led NAM since 2011 and first joined the organization in 2005 as Executive Vice President. As the leading voice for U.S. manufacturers, NAM sits at the center of policy, economic, and workforce issues shaping American industry today. The NAM team is currently in Houston as part of its State of Manufacturing Tour, traveling across New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas, and Arizona, to spotlight the policies and conditions needed for the U.S. to compete and win in a global economy. We were thrilled to host Jay and hear his perspective on domestic manufacturing, the evolving regulatory and trade landscape, supply chain resilience, energy policy, and the future of U.S. competitiveness in an increasingly complex global environment. In our conversation, Jay outlines what he's hearing from manufacturers on NAM's State of Manufacturing Tour, starting with energy. Manufacturers consume roughly 30% of U.S. energy, and Jay emphasizes why affordable, reliable supply and delivery infrastructure are foundational to competitiveness. We discuss tax policy and why Jay views the 2017 reforms as “rocket fuel” for manufacturing investment, hiring, and wage growth, along with the importance of durable, codified provisions that give companies the certainty to deploy long-cycle capital. We cover the workforce gap (~433,000 open manufacturing jobs today and a projected 2 million by 2033), digging into what's working on the ground, from community college partnerships to the modern return of shop class and continuous upskilling. Jay makes the case for bipartisan, skills-oriented immigration reform to support economic growth. We explore permitting and legal reform, where he emphasizes that manufacturing thrives on certainty and calls for a coordinated federal process that delivers faster “yes or no” decisions with guardrails to prevent endless litigation. On trade, we touch on tariff uncertainty, the importance of renewing and strengthening USMCA (particularly addressing transshipment), and the strategic value of North American supply chains, especially given the sizeable percent of manufacturers' customers reside outside U.S. borders. We discuss AI and supply chain realities, why Jay sees AI as additive and a multiplier for productivity, and how even running at full capacity, the U.S. can only produce about 84% of what it needs today, driving NAM's proposal for a “speed pass” to import critical inputs duty-free as domestic capacity scales. We also examine the broader manufacturing multiplier effect, the U.S.-China competitive dynamic, and why policy stability ultimately determines whether the U.S. can compete and win. It was a wide-ranging and insightful discussion and we're grateful to Jay and his team for carving out time to stop by during a busy tour. For further reading, NAM's AI & Energy Dominance Roadmap is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the show with a quick update, noting that broader equity markets were down modestly on the day as all eyes were focused on NVIDIA's quarterly results. NVIDIA surpassed expectations and delivered solid forward guidance, but the stock was underperforming given that investors are growing wary it can sustain this explosive revenue growth beyond the next couple of years. Thank you to Leslie Beyer for connecting us with Jay and his team. And thanks to you all for your support and friendship!

They highlight Caleb Wilson's injury and its impact on his All-American and Player of the Year prospects, comparing it to Zion Williamson's 2019 situation.

In this episode, we take "consistency over intensity" out of the gym and straight into relationships. Because if it's intense all the time, you burn out. If it's consistent all the time, you get bored. So what's the sweet spot? We talk about respect as the real baseline, convenience vs. connection, why lifelong marriage might need a rethink (yes, we went there), and how finances, in-laws, religion, and resentment erode connection faster than lack of chemistry ever could. We unpack how to approach hard conversations without triggering defensiveness, why movement helps when words get stuck, and how planned romance can still be romantic (if it's not transactional). There's a dash of "Liz & Lee Love Plan" brainstorming, a little twerking therapy, and a reminder that love isn't about pressure or perfection. It's about bravery, honesty, low expectations, and choosing each other again and again… until you don't. And if you don't? That's information, too.   Resources mentioned: Consistency vs. Intensity in Fitness (Episode 206) Love Languages Are Kinda BS (Episode 179) Liz's favorite Everyday Oil - Unscented Liz's favorite Everyday Oil - Mainstay   3 Ways to Strengthen Your Relationship Without Burning It Down: Respect is the real baseline. Intensity is exciting. Consistency is comforting. But without respect, neither one holds. Love without respect doesn't last. Speak from love, not accusation. Hard conversations are inevitable. Defensiveness is optional. Lead with "I'm struggling" instead of "You never." Move your body together. Lower the pressure. Sometimes breakthroughs come after laughter, not confrontation. Keep a dash of crazy. Grand gestures are great. Daily small touches matter more. Plan the dinner. Drop the expectations. Twerk in the kitchen. Low expectations + real affection = longevity.

Very Early Registration Discount ends on March 1st. Sign up here. ___________________________ What if the biggest risk in retirement isn't the market — but misunderstanding your own goals? As you approach retirement, the questions shift. It's no longer just “How much have I saved?” It becomes, “When do I want the freedom to retire?” “How much risk do I really need to take?” And perhaps most importantly — “What is my money for?” Today, I'm joined by financial planner Zach Morris for a candid conversation about risk tolerance versus risk capacity, sequence of return risk, working one more year, helping family, and why having a 100% probability of financial success might actually mean you're leaving life on the table. If you're within five years of retirement — or wondering whether you're truly ready — this episode will help you think differently about risk, purpose, and pulling the trigger.

You want to go into retirement knowing what to expect.” _____________________________

As the ACC season comes to a close, the debate over postseason awards has begun. Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the league's success through the lens of the men on the sidelines leading their teams into March. Ashley and Barnes discuss the ACC's recent coaching changes and the impact on the conference's performance. They highlight the decline in ACC quality due to the addition of more teams and the departure of iconic coaches. The conference has bounced back after last season's disastrous performance and the impressive coaching performances have driven the rise. Credit Ryan Odom at Virginia, Jai Lucas at Miami and Will Wade at NC State for turning around their programs. They note Duke's John Scheyer and UNC's Hubert Davis's success despite high expectations. They also discuss the challenges of managing the transfer portal and NIL deals, and the financial pressures on programs like Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech. The conversation emphasizes the importance of adaptability and financial resources in modern college basketball coaching. Who will win ACC Coach of the Year?  Who deserves the award and who doesn't?

What if your life-changing opportunity was waiting on the other side of simply showing up — even when you feel unsure, unready, or unseen?In this episode, Shelby sits down with Sarah, pediatric occupational therapist, new mom, and fellow NUUDist, whose decision to start posting on TikTok during her postpartum season unexpectedly led to her being hand-selected as one of the NUUDists — opening the door to an opportunity she never saw coming.What began as a deeply personal outlet — a way to cope with postpartum emotions, rediscover her identity, and rebuild her confidence — slowly turned into something far bigger than she imagined. With the encouragement of her supportive husband, Sarah began showing up consistently, not for fame or followers, but simply to feel like herself again. Just days into posting consistently, she received the email that would officially invite her into the NUUD community — a moment that would completely shift her trajectory.Sarah opens up about the emotional reality of postpartum, the isolation many new mothers experience, and the fear that comes with putting yourself out there — especially when people you know are watching. She shares what it felt like to be chosen as a NUUDist, stepping into rooms she never imagined being in, and how being surrounded by ambitious, driven women helped her see a version of herself she hadn't fully stepped into yet.She also talks about the unforgettable moment she received the NUUD email, the whirlwind experience of meeting the other NUUDists, and how community, courage, and consistency can unlock doors you didn't even know were available to you.This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring — especially for anyone who feels called to more but is afraid to take the first step, pivot their identity, or believe that bigger opportunities are possible for them.It's a powerful reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out to begin.Sometimes, the simple act of showing up can change your life — and sometimes, it can make you a NUUDist.Connect with our guest:https://www.instagram.com/sarah.difrischiahttps://www.tiktok.com/@sarah.difrischia?_r=1&_t=ZT-93bEhgsnebVSarah is a pediatric occupational therapist currently on maternity leave and stepping into the world of content creation.

This is the Week 1 grounding practice for Reenchanted: A Series for Lent on Believing Again — a Lenten series from The Local Church. This week's practice is called A List of Mysteries. It's a simple guided meditation designed to help you slow down and practice sitting with what you cannot explain—not as a failure of understanding, but as an act of faith. Take a walk while you listen if you're able. Or find a quiet place to sit and let your imagination do the moving. This practice pairs with Week 1 of the Reenchanted series, where we explore Matthew 4:1–11 and what it means to repent from certainty and believe in simply believing again.

On today's daily podcast, we dive headfirst into a real-life story that feels like Gone Girl but somehow even more chaotic — because this one actually happened. A mom in North Carolina tells her kids she's heading out to do some Christmas shopping… and then vanishes. No calls. No sightings. No updates. For. Twenty. Four. Years.Yeah. Twenty. Four.The FBI got involved. The husband was suspected. The kids grew up believing their mom was either dead or abducted. Every holiday season? Trauma with tinsel on top. And then — out of nowhere — she's found alive, living just a couple hours away, apparently doing just fine.So today on the show, we unpack everything:• Is disappearing legally allowed? (Surprisingly… kind of.)• Should there be abandonment charges?• Could you ever forgive a parent for that?• And how in the hell do you start over without anyone noticing for two decades?The crew goes full debate mode. Is she a sociopath? Was there something darker going on? Did she just decide “nah” and hit reset? We don't have all the answers — but we absolutely have opinions. Loud ones.Plus, we spiral (in true Rizz Show fashion) into van life influencers, whether running away mid-commute is a universal parent fantasy, generational breakdowns from Silent Gen to Gen Beta, and the psychology of wanting to disappear for a few hours… or forever.It's messy.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley discuss North Carolina's 78-74 win over Louisville, highlighting Henry Veesaar's impactful performance and Seth Trimble's 30 point night. They note Carolina's solid 27-minute stretch but criticize their late-game execution, citing a 44-point deficit over the final 10 minutes in 15 ACC games and the free-throw woes (319th in nation).  Barnes and Ashley praise Hubert Davis for motivating the team and highlight Carolina's success without Caleb Wilson, noting improved defensive play with key players stepping up. The conversation also covers ACC standings, with Carolina tied for 5th at 10-5, and the importance of winning the next three games to secure a double bye in the ACC Tournament.   **Call to Action:**   **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!   **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!   **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.

Inside Carolina's Rob Harrington and Tommy Ashley break down North Carolina's key three point win over Louisville in the Smith Center on Monday night. The Heels led by as many as 16 points and played some of their best basketball on the season on both ends of the floor to build the lead. The Cardinals rebounded from the drought to make the final margin close as Hubert Davis's team struggled closing the game on the offensive end and at the free throw line. Seth Trimble's 30 point effort led the way while Henri Veesaar and Luka Bogavac dropped 12 points a piece. Louisville star freshman Mikel Brown, Jr. poured in 24 points but needed 25 shots to do it as Carolina's defense ultimately won the night.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.
