Podcasts about pears

Promoting the availability and benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables is the focus of many in the ag industry, including the International Fresh Produce Association.

Pear Bureau Northwest President, CarrieAnn Arias says nutrition is definitely a big part of their new campaign, but the other piece is about how pears look and normalizing the appearance of a pear.

"PearDrive is like, how could you make stuff seamless across devices and how can you leverage that device that has a lot of storage to get the most out of the device that has a little storage? How do you make it so that when I boot something up, it just syncs to my Linux? And if I delete anything from my phone or my MacBook, I still see the thumbnail and I still connect to my Linux to bring it up and I can even play it directly off of my Linux machine. And if I want it locally to edit with or to share with somebody, I just hit download. How could you actually make it visually aware of where the data is and make it feel like the data just exists everywhere it wants? That's what we're trying to do." What if we could rebuild the digital world without the servers, the clouds, or the middlemen that control our data today? I joined the crew at Ungovernable Misfits - Q&A, Max, and Seth - on Freedom Tech Friday 25 to explore the revolutionary potential of the Holepunch and Pear ecosystem. We break down the magic behind connecting peer-to-peer through firewalls and why the birthday problem changes everything for network resilience. We also dive into the philosophy behind Keet, the current state of Pear Drive, and why file sharing is the foundational layer of a truly decentralized web. It is time to discover how we can finally reclaim control over our digital lives without sacrificing the user experience. Check out our awesome sponsors!

From a new logo to new messaging, Pears grown here in the Northwest and around the country are getting a new, fun, fresh and modern look for consumers to enjoy.

In this episode of The Produce Moms Podcast, host Lori Taylor welcomes back CarrieAnn Arias, CEO of USA Pears, to discuss the upcoming International Year of the Woman Farmer in 2026. They explore the significance of celebrating women in agriculture, the role of female farmers globally, and the impact of agriculture on women's livelihoods.

California pear growers need relief from Argentine imports they say have displaced their fruit in U.S. markets, and U.S. agricultural land market is shifting after years of steady growth.

The January 22 edition of the AgNet News Hour tackled a growing concern many California growers know all too well—foreign competition flooding the market during peak domestic seasons. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill focused the conversation on California pears, featuring an interview with Chris Zanobini, Executive Director of the California Pear Advisory Board, who laid out why the state's pear industry is fighting for survival. Zanobini explained that California's pear industry is relatively small, with only about 60 growers remaining—many of them fifth- and sixth-generation family farmers. Pear orchards can remain productive for decades, meaning these farms represent long-term investment and deep roots in rural communities. But now, he says, the industry's short and carefully managed marketing window is being disrupted by imported pears arriving at the worst possible time. California pears typically harvest beginning in early July and aim to finish shipping by late October to avoid competing with other domestic pear-growing regions like Oregon and Washington. The problem, Zanobini said, is that Argentine pears are coming into the U.S. in heavy volume during June, July, and even into September, right when California is trying to sell its crop. The result is a market that starts the season already flooded, with retailers delaying California programs by weeks. One major concern Zanobini highlighted is a product commonly used overseas called 1-MCP, a ripening inhibitor that allows pears to store for an extremely long time, but often prevents them from ripening properly. That can lead to a poor consumer experience—hard, disappointing fruit that hurts pear demand overall. California, he noted, made a commitment years ago not to use 1-MCP because of its impact on eating quality. The competitive imbalance comes down to cost. Zanobini said California growers face the highest production standards in the world—labor, chemical restrictions, water requirements, and environmental compliance—yet they aren't paid extra for meeting those standards. Imported pears, meanwhile, can arrive cheaper by $5 to $10 per box, making them attractive to retailers focused on price and margins. Zanobini also shared a jaw-dropping stat: Argentina imported more than 1.3 million boxes of pears, which exceeded California's production of Bartlett pears this year—California's primary variety. He said the industry can't tolerate that trajectory much longer, and without change, more multi-generation pear farms could disappear. Papagni and McGill pointed out that this isn't just a pear problem—it's a California agriculture problem, impacting everything from citrus to tomatoes to raisins. Their message to listeners was simple: California growers need a fair playing field, and consumers can help by asking for domestic fruit and supporting local farmers when it's in season.

Even in the middle of winter, you can find plenty of hearty roots, leafy greens, and bright citrus to add warmth and flavor to your meals. Imagine visiting the farmers' market and seeing beets ready for roasting, and Brussels sprouts that turn crispy and sweet in the oven. These foods are more than just ingredients; they show how nature keeps growing through the cold to give us great taste and nutrition when we need it most. Here are some of February's best produce, along with tips for picking, storing, and using them in everyday meals. Citrus fruits are at their best now, bringing color and flavor to winter days. Grapefruits, especially the ruby red ones from Florida and California, are sweet and tangy. Choose ones that feel heavy and have smooth, unmarked skin. Store them in the fridge's crisper drawer for up to a month. Try adding grapefruit segments to a salad with mixed greens and feta, or broil halves with brown sugar for a warm breakfast side. Blood oranges are another highlight, with deep red flesh and a hint of raspberry flavor. Pick ones that give a little when pressed and avoid any with soft spots. They last a few days at room temperature or longer in the fridge. Use their juice to color cake frostings or blend into smoothies for a bright start to the day. Mandarins, including clementines and sumo varieties, are easy to peel and very sweet. Look for firm fruit without wrinkles, and keep it in a bowl on the counter or in the fridge. You can candy the peels for a treat or add segments to stir-fries for a citrus kick. Kumquats are small and unique because you can eat the whole fruit, both the sweet skin and tart inside. Choose plump, bright orange kumquats, store them in the fridge, and slice them into salads or bake them into muffins. Pummelos are larger and milder than grapefruits, with a gentle tartness. Pick heavy ones and keep them in the fridge. They work well in any recipe that uses grapefruit, like over yogurt for dessert. Kiwis are also in season, with fuzzy skin and a sweet-tart flavor. They should give a little when ripe. Store at room temperature until ready, then refrigerate. Kiwis are great for marinating meats or adding to fruit salads. Pears round out the fruit selection; check for ripeness by pressing gently at the neck. Let them ripen at room temperature, then use them in poached desserts or smoothies. February's vegetables are perfect for hearty soups and roasts. Broccoli should have firm, green heads. Store it wrapped in a damp towel in the fridge, and steam, roast, or add to pasta. Brussels sprouts should be tight and green; refrigerate and roast with olive oil and salt, or shred raw for slaws. Cabbage is long-lasting and versatile. Look for firm heads with crisp leaves, store them in the crisper, and use them in roasts or sauerkraut. Cauliflower should be firm and white; keep it in the fridge and use it for rice or mash it as a potato substitute. Kale needs fresh, unwilted leaves; store in a perforated bag in the fridge, and massage with oil for salads or add to soups. Beets should be firm and smooth; store in the fridge without the greens, which you can sauté. Roast beets for salads or purees. Carrots should be straight and bright; keep them in a bag in the fridge, and use them in muffins or stews. Leeks need to be rinsed well to remove grit; pick firm stalks, store chilled, and add to casseroles or soups. Parsnips are sweeter than carrots; choose smaller ones, store them cool, and roast with meats. Winter squash, like butternut, should be heavy and unblemished; store in the pantry, roast the seeds for snacks, and bake the flesh into soups. Choosing seasonal produce supports local farmers and delivers the best quality with a lower environmental impact.

Pears also have high nutritional value-- more fiber than bananas, oranges, and strawberries and pears are hypoallergenic, safe for people with allergies to eat, and has pectin which helps control high cholesterol. A recent survey showed that 84% of shoppers cannot tell when a pear is ripe. The best way to check if a pear is ripe is the check the stem of the pear...and you can help the ripening process by putting the pears in a brown paper bag on your counter for a day or two. Peak season is Sept-Jan btw.

One of New Zealand's major apple growers, Hawke's Bay's "Yummy Fruit", has stopped shipping to the U-S as a result to President Trump's tariffs. The 15 percent tariff essentially cancelled out their margins, so some growers are shifting their focus to the Asia market ahead of a what's looking like a bumper harvest. Jesse is joined by Danielle Adsett the Market access manager from New Zealand Apples and Pears.

It's a familiar idea that batteries store electricity and now a new European project, called Water Grid, is encouraging farmers to create ponds as 'water batteries' for storing rainwater, to draw on in times of drought. Researchers think they could even be used to top up rivers. The Water Grid project will run across 13 European countries, and the 22 partners involved are being coordinated by the Westcountry Rivers Trust.We visit the National Perry Pear Collection in Gloucestershire, as it's the season for pressing fruit to make perry.

This week we're welcoming fall with a simple skillet dessert, caramelized pears. They're great on ice cream, pancakes or waffles, or by themselves. As always, the full printable recipe is linked above, but if you're making your grocery list here's what you'll need: Produce: 1 lb pears, 1 lemon wedge (1/8 lemon) Cold: 2 tbsp butter Inside aisles: 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp salt

It's fall on the calendar, but there is still plenty of gardening left to do! Listeners sent in questions about struggling lilac bushes, protecting pears from deer, decommissioning a large garden and more.

It's a good year for British apples, a lack of frost and an abundance of warm weather should mean a bumper crop. Harvest is underway and hopes are high, but there are continuing concerns about the loss of orchards and growers' reluctance to invest in new ones.It's party conference season and we're hearing from all the parties about their plans for the countryside. Today we speak to Tim Farron from the Liberal Democrats who would scrap inheritance tax on farms.An experimental scheme using drones to disperse native tree seeds across areas of rocky moorland in the Scottish Highlands has produced encouraging results. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

This week, David Maxwell heads to County Antrim where he meets a Canadian couple gardening in the shadow of Slemish. Judith and Hugh Jackson moved to the area from Vancouver after they both retired. They built a house in a rural area and they quickly realised that gardening at 300 metres above sea level meant they needed plants that can look after themselves. Judith reveals her friendly ‘thugs' including the tough perennial Persicaria which cuts down on any weeding. In County Clare, the programme visits the Irish Seed Savers Association who look after Ireland's heritage apple collection and conserve heritage seed varieties for the future. Ruth Bramley from Farmyard Nurseries shows David some of her favourite indoor plants including Mimosa, also known as the sensitive plant, which moves when it's touched. In studio, Anna Hudson joins David with seasonal inspiration and the answers to questions including how to ripen pairs and what to do with a Kumquat! Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

September is a month of abundance and transition in the kitchen garden, and in this episode, we're embracing it all. Stephanie Hafferty walks us through essential tasks for the month — from composting and sowing to harvesting and preserving a bounty of crops. Fruit expert David Patch joins us to share his top pear varieties for home growers, including the storied history of the classic 'Conference' and the stunning 'Durondeau.' Plus, Martin Fish takes us on a delightful visit to a historic walled garden in Lincolnshire, home to a 156-year-old grapevine and centuries of gardening tradition. Whether you're bottling chutneys or planning your overwintering crops, this episode is packed with practical tips and inspiration for the changing season. Hosted on Acast.

On this week's show, Julia Turner is joined by guest hosts Nadira Goffe and Dan Kois to answer the urgent question: is The Naked Gun starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson the vital satire we need for our time? (Answer: No, but does that matter? The joke-dense spoof reboot directed by Akiva Schaffer is a hoot.) Next, they turn to tropical shores and talk about Chief of War, the epic series about Hawaiian history starring and produced by Jason Momoa. Finally, the panel examines the legacy of the musical Hamilton on its ten-year anniversary. Is it a naive Obama-era cringefest or an enduring piece of theater that still has much to say about American democracy? In an exclusive Slate Plus Bonus episode, Julia and Nadira grill Dan about the creation of Slate's newest game Pears and discuss the state of the internet game ecosystem.     Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch. Production assistance by Daniel Hirsch. Endorsements: Nadira: The new album BLACKSTAR by Ghanaian and American singer and songwriter Amaarae.

In episode five, Jason sits down with Aaron Schroeder, president of Canopy. Schroeder discusses his journey from Wichita to Manhattan, where he met his wife and settled for its ideal blend of small-town charm and big-city amenities. He worked for 14-15 years at K-State, developing a data management system for the university's extension program and SNAP-Ed. This system, called PEARS, gained traction and led to the formation of Canopy. Canopy, which started with 12 employees in 2021, has grown to 25, many of whom are K-State graduates and students. The company, structured as a public benefit LLC, plans to expand its services beyond land-grant institutions.

Today may be my final episode for Pride Month 2025, but it is most certainly not my final episode celebrating and affirming Pride and all our glorious forebears who preceded us! Today's episode is a belated birthday tribute to British tenor Peter Pears (22 June 1910 – 03 April 1986), most celebrated for his long-standing romantic and musical partnership with Benjamin Britten. However, as with my recent episode celebrating the artistry of Pierre Bernac apart from his performances of the music of Francis Poulenc, in today's episode, there is not a note of Britten's music to be heard. There is no question that Britten was a formative figure in Pears' artistic development, but throughout their lives together, he performed a wide range of music, from Pérotin to Lutosławski as an independent and enormously versatile artist. In this episode, I offer selections by Webern, Handel, Copland, Couperin, Stravinsky, Dowland, Tippett, Mozart, Holst, Bach, Copland, Berkeley, Schubert, Walton, Schütz, Debussy, Handel, Nordheim, Schumann, and David Bedford, among others, to offer a surprising portrait of this fascinating singer. Even if you have not (yet) acquired a taste for this (sometimes) controversial singer, I urge you to give it a listen, for not only does it present Pears in all his varieties, it also highlights his musical partnerships with Joan Sutherland, Sviatoslav Richter, Murray Perahia, Dennis Brain, Viola Tunnard, George Malcolm, Martha Mödl, Gré Brouwenstijn, Imogen Holst, and Noel Mewton-Wood (as well as a few clips with with his life-partner Britten at the piano). Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

In this powerful episode of IDD Health Matters, Dr. Craig Escudé welcomes Kathryn Pears, Chief Operations Officer of the National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices (NTG). With over 40 years of experience in the field of dementia, Kathryn shares her personal and professional journey, beginning with her father's early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis, and how it ultimately led her to advocate for individuals with intellectual disabilities who are aging and at risk for dementia. Kathryn discusses the groundbreaking work of the NTG, including their development of the Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD)—a free, intuitive tool used nationwide to help caregivers identify subtle changes that could indicate early signs of dementia in people with IDD. She also dives into NTG's national curriculum, which has trained thousands of frontline staff, healthcare professionals, and even law enforcement on how to provide compassionate, effective care for aging individuals with IDD and dementia. From federal advocacy and workforce training to innovative partnerships in Texas aimed at improving emergency responses, Kathryn and the NTG are changing the landscape of aging and dementia care for this often-overlooked population. Tune in to learn three key takeaways from Kathryn's decades of experience: Don't assume behavioral changes equal dementia—rule out treatable conditions first. The heart of quality care is treating others the way you'd want to be treated. You don't need to be an expert—just be informed enough to advocate.

In our latest episode of the Distillery Nation Podcast, we sit down with Caitlin Bartlemay, Master Distiller at Clear Creek Distillery, to explore one of America's most innovative craft distilling stories. From her early steps into the industry to mastering the art of fruit brandy production, Caitlin's journey reflects the passion and precision that have made Clear Creek a standout in American spirits. Clear Creek Distillery has been focused on brandy production since its founding, with a particular expertise in pear brandy that sets them apart from other American distilleries. Their famous pear-in-bottle offering represents more than just a novelty—it's a testament to the patience and craftsmanship required in fruit brandy production. Caitlin walks us through the meticulous process of growing pears inside bottles, a technique that requires timing the attachment of bottles to pear trees at just the right moment in the growing season.
