What a treat to have Pete Orchard as our guest this month. Pete's been the river keeper at the famous Longford Estate for decades. The Hampsire Avon runs through his soul and so does some pretty crazy punk music. Pete has been known to sport a mohawk and a cravat on the same day, he's a really colourful character with endless stories to tell but it was the discovery of giant carp in this crystal clear river that became our talking point. Pete's tales of uncaught giants gliding between the streamer weed were wonderful but like many things in life you have to make hay while the sun shines, as nothing lasts forever. In addition Mike and Mark talk in depth about watercraft, the changing of the seasons and how this impacts tactics and of course we have another sermon drop from the Panther aka Tim Harris and if you're the first to get it right, you'll win a Baitworks bait bundle! Enjoy.

In the upcoming special episodes I'm going to feature songbird species who fit three criteria: that I have plenty of recordings of them, that I have not significantly featured them before, and that they are not likely to be featured in the next season of Songbirding because they do no occur in the west, or have not shown up significantly in my western recordings as of right now. The Orchard Oriole has a curious song. Much like the Baltimore Oriole, each bird might have a slightly different song, with their own unique phrases. This songbird has quite a varied appearance, with lemony-yellow females, and males with two plumages: one of a yellow bird with a black beard, typically seen in the second year of the bird's life, followed up with a more mature plumage of a dark back and hood with what I like to refer to as a blood-orange chest, though some describe this more as a chestnut colour. Either way, the older males are quite a dark bird. I find that the Orchard Oriole usually sounds like it is frequently interrupting its own whistle-y songs with terse, harsh interjections. And to my ears, sounds almost like an Eastern Warbling Vireo, except that it is interrupting its own songs. For this episode we'll be exploring three locations within my Ontario breeding bird atlas square, in Haldimand County, Ontario. I've found over the years of this survey that this species is highly successful in Haldimand, showing up in a high proportion of my random point count surveys.

Thanks to Geoff for sharing his struggles today. Especially for men, I think, it's hard for us to admit we need help and accept that help. That mentality is often detrimental to our wellbeing.

Sometimes we fail to allow grace in our own lives. Once we miss or fail for any reason, we allow those feelings of failure to defeat us causing us to miss more often or quit altogether. It's important to understand you will miss the mark sometimes. It's equally important to think about that up front so that you have an understanding and a plan for how to respond and get right back to keeping up the good habit you're trying to maintain.

I struggled for a long time about whether or not to share this story with you because I felt like it was a story that was not very common and therefore not very applicable. But then I realized this story is very common. If you peel back the layers a bit here, you realize that the first step was the thoughts in the mind of one or more of the employees. They were disgruntled for whatever reason and allowed those thoughts to fester.

It seems there are news stories every week about the accelerating pace of innovation in gene therapy, but only about 50 therapies have been approved so far by the US Food and Drug Administration. Our guest today, Dr. Bobby Gaspar, leads a UK-based biotech company, Orchard Therapeutics, that developed one of those treatments using gene-modified stem cells in your blood that self-renew, so a single administration can give you potentially a lifelong effect. “Our approach is about correcting those hematopoietic stem cells and allowing them to give rise to cells that can then correct the disease,” explains Dr. Gaspar. The therapy in focus is lenmeldy, the first approved treatment for metachromatic leukodystrophy, also known as MLD, a devastating inherited disorder that affects roughly 600 children worldwide. But Dr. Gaspar is optimistic that learnings from Orchard's work on MLD could be useful in treating much more common disorders including frontotemporal dementia, Crohn's disease and others. This highly informative conversation with host Lindsey Smith also explores the importance of newborn screening, community collaboration in advancing clinical trials for rare diseases, and a future in which each gene therapy will be used as a tool for specific applications. “There will be many gene therapies available, some of which will become the standard of care for certain diseases, but it won't be for every disease.”Mentioned in this episode:Orchard Therapeutics If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Chaz and AJ's "Bad Idea Island" continues with the baby cage. A real product that was sold in the early 1900's, and had children suspended from the windows of high-rise buildings in major cities. (0:00) Sarah Dellaventura of Bishop's Orchard was on the phone with Chaz and AJ this morning to talk about their farm being in the running for recognition as one of the 10 best orchards in the country. Things were going well until AJ brought up his favorite apple. (5:30) In Dumb Ass News, Chaz and AJ dig into the rich content of VHS Dates. Stacey was up first, who needs a sports car and loves cupcakes for the frosting.

It was supposed to be a quiet evening on the hilltop. Just a man, the breeze, and a storm rolling in over Crab Orchard. The kind of day where the air smells like rain and crabapples. But that evening brought something far worse. As he sat looking over the field, he saw what he thought was a buck—tall, alert, silhouetted against the tree line. But something was off. The color. The stance. The silence. And then… it stood up. This wasn't a deer. It rose onto two legs, towering at eight feet tall. Its body long, limbs lanky, but worst of all, its head: a skull. Emaciated. With glowing eyes and a rack of antlers that didn't belong to anything natural. And the smell? Decay. Worse than death. Worse than that time the funeral home lost power and the whole block—including the caramel apple stand next door—was bathed in the stench of the unthinkable. This thing, this demon deer, watched. It never crossed the hilltop. It stayed just out of reach, lurking at the edge of reason. And then, slowly, it backed away into the tree line—and vanished. Just like that. Could it have been a Wendigo? A skinwalker? Or some undiscovered nightmare of the deep woods? A shape-shifting spirit with a hunger far older than time? You may laugh… but wait until the next time you see something tall at the edge of the trees—and it doesn't blink. #DemonDeer #WendigoSighting #ShapeShifter #CryptidEncounter #RealGhostStories #BackwoodsTerror #RottenBuck #HauntedHilltop #ParanormalEncounter #CrabOrchardHorror Love real ghost stories?

In today's episode, I sat down with Greg Hill, a longtime cider maker at Urban Orchard Cidery and a dedicated adjunct instructor in the brewing program here in Asheville. Greg is wrapping up his PhD work while guiding Urban Orchard through an incredibly tough year—one marked by supply challenges, wild weather events, and a major orchard fire. Together, we dove into his ongoing dissertation about workforce development and experiential learning in the brewing and beverage industries, and what it truly takes to prepare students for a successful career in craft beverage production. Greg Hill is a graduate of the AB Tech Brewing, Distillation, and Fermentation program, and he's now in his twelfth year at Urban Orchard Cidery. As a key educator in beverage management and microbiology, Greg brings a wealth of real-world knowledge, blending hands-on experience with academic rigor. Outside of work, he's a stadium-hopping football fan with broader plans for worldwide sports adventures, and a seeker of new and unusual flavor experiences. "I wanted to put a bunch of flair in there, make it all pretty and nice, and it's really just idiot proof. Repetitive. So you're saying I am doing this. This is why I'm doing this. I'm going to do this again. And then this is why I'm doing this.” ~Greg Hill Today on Consuming the Craft:· Experiential learning and hands-on practice are crucial components for real career readiness in the craft beverage industry.· Greg's PhD research has shifted from standardizing education to focusing on how beverage programs prepare students for the real-world workforce.· Practical education, like troubleshooting and working directly with equipment, is just as valuable as classroom theory.· Urban Orchard Cidery faced major challenges over the past year, including hurricane aftermath, a devastating orchard fire, and a hailstorm that damaged crops.· Loyal customers, especially fellow local businesses like Highland Brewing, played a significant role in Urban Orchard's recovery.· Cider isn't just for drinking; it can also be a creative ingredient in cooking and cocktails, especially during fall.· The craft beverage landscape continues to evolve, and keeping up means constant adaptation and diversification, as seen in new products and global influences.· Despite the doom and gloom in parts of the beverage industry, cideries like Urban Orchard are finding ways to persevere and grow, demonstrating the resilience of the craft community.

I would guess that John 3:16 is the most commonly known and quoted Bible verse, but perhaps the passage at the forefront of today's episode would place second on that list. Today we're looking at Matthew 7:1, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” We see this verse thrown out all the time by people when they feel like Christians are judging them. The Bible tells the Christian not to judge, therefore, the Christian is wrong when they proclaim something as sin or tell someone they should repent. Right?

In the original Zelda game, Link can earn a new sword, the white sword, once he has expanded his health to five hearts. Once Link has twelve hearts, he is capable of wielding the most powerful sword in the game, the magical sword. In much the same way, as we adventure in our jobs, parenting, relationships, and all facets of life, we should be leveling up. We should be improving our skills, learning better methods, finding lessons in defeat, making notes for future battles, and investing in tools which will help us reach our ultimate goals.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah discuss why forage is more important than grain for horses. They explore the basics of equine forage, the types of forage, and the differences between forage and grain. The conversation delves into the importance of forage for a horse's digestive health, mental well-being, and behavioral health. They also touch on common mistakes in forage feeding, how to assess if a horse is getting enough forage, and how hay types like Timothy, Orchard grass, and alfalfa compare in nutrition. Listeners are encouraged to pursue a forage-first diet to ensure their horses' health and happiness. The episode concludes with a reminder to check out Tribute's free personalized feed plans and their online presence for more information.
