Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Kirk Pomper, the driving force behind Kentucky State University's pioneering Paw Paw Research Program. As the world's only full-time initiative dedicated to this remarkable fruit, Dr. Pomper brings a wealth of knowledge and passion, tracing his journey from exploring various food crops to championing pawpaws, thanks to the visionary Brett Calloway. We navigate the potential of pawpaw as a transformative alternative crop for small farmers in Kentucky, while also tackling the unique challenges of making this fruit a staple in homes across America. Dr. Pomper takes us on a journey through the complexities of pawpaw processing, from the intricacies of pulp extraction to innovative storage solutions. As we compare the pawpaw to its fruity cousin, the persimmon, we unravel the market challenges both face and the exciting possibilities for value-added products like pawpaw smoothies and jams. We learn about efforts to extend the fruit's shelf life through controlled atmosphere storage, ensuring pawpaws reach new markets far and wide. Our discussion culminates in the fascinating world of pawpaw pollination and cultivar research. Dr. Pomper sheds light on the intricate pollination strategies of pawpaw trees, emphasizing the critical role of cross-pollination and the importance of planting diverse varieties. We also highlight Kentucky State University's endeavors to promote pawpaw awareness, including the upcoming Fifth International Pawpaw Conference and annual Pawpaw Day celebrations. This episode offers a captivating glimpse into the efforts to bring the pawpaw from obscurity to the forefront of the fruit world.

Wayne Hall, general manager of Wi Pere Trust's horticulture team in Gisborne, shares his love of persimmons and a recipe for how to best enjoy the fruit.

West Virginia Bigfoots ResidentsI was divorced after 30 years of marriage and raising 3 children. It was difficult living alone in a big house that backed up to the woods. All bedrooms are on the 2nd level. The exterior windowless wall of my bedroom that was near the woods is above and to the side of the cellar. The cellar sits a couple of feet lower than the floor of my bedroom. One Fall in the early morning hours around 3 a.m., I was sleeping soundly. I was awakened by a sound no more than 3-4 feet to the exterior wall of my bedroom. I couldn't wrap my head around the sound of something pulling up from what I knew to be the cement top of the cellar 2 feet below the floor and some 9 feet up to the top of the metal roof over my bedroom ceiling. That's a reach of about 11 plus feet! I could hear what I guessed was the underbelly of the animal scraping on the metal edge of the roof. After pulling itself up, it stood and proceeded to take large widely spaced bipedal steps to the other end of my house which is 42 feet from where it pulled up. I'm lying in bed cowering under my bed covers, listening; hardly breathing. Then it walked back over my bed, but did not jump the 11' down onto the cellar the way it came up. Instead, it walked directly over my bed and apparently pushed off the edge over the only window in my bedroom, dropping some 20' to what I call the “pebble patio”. The headboard of my bed sat directly under this window above the pebble patio. My window shook so violently that I feared it would break and fall inwardly on me, still lying in bed. Even worse, that the “animal” would somehow gain access to me all the time my heart raced inside my chest because of the extreme fear I felt! I lay awake, but heard nothing more. I waited for daylight so I could leave my house to go down the hill to my Mom's house to let family know what had happened to me and see if we could make sense of it all. My brother just laughed when I demonstrated the gait of the animal when I spread my legs apart as far as I could to take a step but it was not far enough! From that night I began searching online for “what kind of animal walks on your roof?” That's when I discovered that I was not alone in my experience. I can not prove that Bigfoot walked on my roof, but given how it happened, I can't explain it any other way. Thus began my armchair campaign to become educated about Bigfoot.A few years after the roof walking experience, my son and daughter were on top of the roof installing a new antennae. When my son came into the kitchen he said I must have “Big Bird” leaving droppings on my roof. I asked what he meant, he said there was a big pile of animal feces near the fireplace chimney. I couldn't get much more information from my son, so I instructed my daughter to pay attention and to give me a detailed report when she came down. She told me that there was a pile of feces white and desiccated the size of a large dinner plate. When I asked the shape, she said it was circular like a big cinnamon roll. I immediately thought of the creature that had walked to the fireplace end of the house and back and sprang so far down to the “pebble patio!” When I expressed that to my kids, they had a good laugh at my expense. There have been many over the years.I had remembered the old TV show “In Search Of” with Leonard Nimoy. My only awareness of the possible existence of the animal known as Bigfoot was that show. I believed it was possible, but it didn't affect me, or so I thought, since it was a West Coast possibility. That was some 40 years prior to my experience. I began listening to everything I could about Bigfoot. That's when I began to put together things that had happened here over the years. For example. A number of years prior to my experience, my ex husband and I were helping my brother's family build an addition onto their house. In the evenings we would hear a peculiar noise far up into the hollow that was a dead end above his property. It was some type of moaning, bellowing cry. I had never heard anything like it before, nor since those days spent there. Although both myself and my brother have both heard very strange calls, yells and noises since then.After the walking on my roof episode I recalled some things that had happened over the years in my hollow. I am now convinced that the Bigfoot were in this hollow before we ever called it home. It had been many years prior to our moving onto this land that humans had lived here. My Mom and stepdad always raised large gardens. On two separate occasions and summers, my stepdad went out to harvest his crop for canning, and it was gone, taken during the night. Once it was fresh corn. Another time it was his ripe tomatoes. It was all stripped clean. We had an above ground swimming pool for our kids while they were growing up. I was standing by the window looking out at the pool, and I couldn't understand why I didn't see any water. I went out to investigate. The sides of the pool lining had deep gashes in it and the water had nearly all leaked out. The sides were not caved in, so whatever took a swim, had entered and departed from the small deck where the ladder was located. At the time I though perhaps since it was August and the creeks were dry, a bear had taken a little swim. Who knows, it could have been the Bigfoot instead.Here are some strange things that happened here at my house. One time I had my cellar door opened, and left open with the padlock lying on a table beside it. I had the padlock on the door but not locked. It would be unlikely a human came at night to do that. I live on a hill, the driveway dead ends at my house, and I have woods, no close neighbors. So it's not reasonable a person would walk the long distances in the dark to play such a joke. Plus most of my neighbors are also my family. I've had artificial plants moved from where I had them in a window box at one end of my house and left in my driveway at the other end of my house, and it was not weather related. I've had a drain cover removed many, many times. I will replace it, it is taken off again. I've been gifted with objects. Once a child's metal bracelet, obviously weathered and old, was left in the middle of my front sidewalk. So that when I left I would have to see it. I've had my screen door opened and a beautiful but dead yellow bird in the middle of my welcome mat. I've had my artificial flowers removed from an outdoor wreath and placed inside my screened porch. I had a wooden arbor with climbing roses broken all to pieces being tossed out into the driveway! My beautiful roses were totally uprooted this happened in one summer night, being discovered in the morning.My Mom lived with me for 5 years. She slept downstairs, in a little nook. She had to use her potty chair often. She had a habit of walking to the doorway where she stood to see out the window into the pebble patio. One morning when I came downstairs she had something to tell me. By this time I was leaving all my outside lights on since the years before when something bipedal walked on my roof. She said she walked to the doorway and when she looked out, she saw a big hairy back, no head because it was above the window. When I asked what she did, she said she quietly backed up and eased back into bed as quietly as she could. After that I put window shades on all the downstairs windows. In fact I have window shades on all the windows and they are drawn right before dark every evening!My brother and I used to play guitars and write songs. My brother came up, I handed him a guitar, and he began playing while I went back inside for something. The dogs had been barking like crazy. Just as I stepped onto the screened in porch to hear his newly written song, we heard the most terrifying scream. It was an angry scream. It was louder than any lion roar and deeper in resonance than any bull and ended in a guttural growl. My brother said “What was that” I knew it wasn't a dog, but I said “just a dog” about that time it yelled again, it sounded like it was close. My brother said “that was no dog” by that time, the dogs had gone completely silent! We walked to the sidewalk, we listened, but didn't hear anything else. My brother said he was going home. I said I was going inside and locking the doors and that is what we did! I've never heard that exact sound again. But I have heard other vocals too many to recount. I have heard too many wood knocks to recount. I have heard the death noise of a deer after hearing a wood knock a little way away, then out at the end of my yard hearing another wood knock and the obvious sound of a deer dying.For a long time I would hear wood knocks and try to explain to my brother what it sounded like. He would call me and I would go out on my porch to listen. It took awhile, but one day he called and I went outside and YES, it was a wood knock! After that he learned to tell the difference. I explain their knocks as a Louieville Slugger hitting a tree in such a powerful way, no human can duplicate it! It sounds like it vibrates from the inside out with such force! I've had my door bell rang, no one there. I've had my house slapped. I've heard something heavy step onto my deck, especially when I used to have pets and fed them in the evenings. I learned to fed in the mornings! I've had Walnuts thrown at me from the hillside. My friend that was visiting me had Persimmons thrown from the hillside at her. There are no Persimmons near my house. I've heard clacking rocks in the Fall that made me think of cracking Walnuts. As I'm getting older and I'm outside less, I don't hear as much as I used to. But I still hear them hunting or calling out to each other, even twice this past week. I always marvel as to why my neighbors aren't hearing this. Two of these neighbors are a son and a grandson and their family. They sleep with a fan going, sBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support.

Meet the set decorator whose rooms you've fallen in love with for years. With over 35 years in the industry under her belt, Beth Kushnick diligently deals in the details with expert precision. Transforming blank slates into authentic spaces that can reveal an entire life in seconds, Kushnick did that and then some when she spent seven seasons as decorator for CBS's huge hit, The Good Wife. Her work generated so much viewer interest that she was able to collaborate to create the first home décor license in television history with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, and eventually created her own label, BAK Home, using her expertise to make the aspirational look she's known for, attainable to customers. “Being fiscally responsible is maybe the biggest part of my creativity” Beth explains on our 146th episode, and she shares specifics around the thrill of when it all comes together. Many a client have counted themselves lucky to have the out-of-the-box thinker and deadline-driven design vet work on their homes; and on the podcast we discuss the differences between building a set and furnishing for real life. We run through her robust resume, going behind the scenes on Howard Stern's famous biopic, Private Parts, to how she created upper crust culture for Reversal Of Fortune starring award-winning Jeremy Irons and Glenn Close, as well as many more projects. We talk Kushnick's intimate connection to the city of New York and how its spaces and places have evolved, her greatest influences and mentors, being the best when it comes to budget, and the ardent advice she bestows upon the listeners of her podcast. We rake through recent work, from how Beth served up the supernatural for Patrick Wilson's Insidious: The Red Door to how she applied authenticity to Yvette Lee Bowser's Run The World, and when she worked on Katie Holmes' Rare Objects. We go back to her start in theater, and on the iconic and original Little Shop Of Horrors. Then there's the author she turns to when it comes to her craft, what's world-class when it comes to wallpaper, and some for her favorite Amazon finds. Come along for this close look into the life of an artist who creates the vivid visuals we savor on screen.

Osage scholar Jimmy Lee Beason II offers an Indigenous perspective on Killers of the Flower Moon and the history of the Osage murders that the book and film depict. In this Cocktails & Capitalism interview, we discuss the true history of the Reign of Terror–a horrific string of murders of Osage committed by white settlers pillaging Osage oil wealth. In addition to providing deeper context for the recent Martin Scorsese film, our conversation highlights some of the impact of this dark chapter on the lives of the Osage people.A member of the Osage Nation, Jimmy Lee Beason II is a professor and writer who teaches in the Indigenous American Indian Studies Department at Haskell University. He was a guest on a prior episode about the residential school system — a system designed to remove Indigenous children from their communities and strip them of their culture. The university where Jimmy teaches was once the site of one of these residential schools. By teaching and mentoring Indigenous students, Jimmy works to combat the legacy of Indigenous erasure perpetuated by the residential school system.Links and Calls to Action:Follow @osage_scholarDonate to the Osage Nation Foundation hereAdvocate for oil headrights to go back to the Osage peopleContact Professor Jimmy Lee Beason II for speaking engagements: pahuska8@gmail.comMocktail Pairing: The Lily(Crafted by Jesse Torres)Jimmy chose to name this mocktail after Lily Gladstone to honor her representation of Indigenous perseverance and her historic accomplishment as the first Native American actor to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture.  45ml  Apple Cider (or whiskey if you prefer)15ml   Persimmon (or pear) syrup  (see below)15ml   Elderflower syrup (or sweetened elderflower tea)15ml   Lemon juice 30ml  Ginger beer 1 dash bitters Shake everything except ginger beer with ice and strain over fresh ice.

In this episode, we're joined by Eliza Greenman to discuss two of the most underutilized American crops, acorns and persimmons. While folks are familiar with oak trees, what evidence do we have to better understand how these ubiquitous trees could be used for food production? Persimmons, on the other hand, have remained mostly a fruit known in the southeastern parts of the United States and overseas. What makes these two so special, and what kind of work is going into them today for a better, more resilient future food system?   Check out Eliza's work at https://elizapples.com/ , @elizapples on Instagram, and her work with the Savanna Institute!   To support this podcast, join our patreon for early episode access at https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac  For PPA Writing Content, visit: www.agroecologies.org For PPA Restoration Content, visit: www.restorationagroecology.com For PPA Merch, visit: www.poorproles.com For PPA Native Plants, visit: www.nativenurseries.org To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit: www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/

This beautiful fruit is in abundance right now, and it's a great ingredient to work with given it lends itself to both sweet and savoury dishes. Often paired with blue cheese, I recently enjoyed it at a fab restaurant in Wellington, High Water on Cuba St, where they paired it with fresh burrata. This is my version of that dish.  Serves 2    Ingredients: 3 tablespoons currants, soaked in boiling water to plump 1 firm persimmon, sliced very thinly (I used a mandolin) 100g burrata or fresh mozzarella or cottage cheese Small handful of toasted hazelnuts Honey, pomegranate molasses, balsamic vinegar or vincotto Dressing:  2 tablespoons good olive oil 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar Whisk up the dressing in a little bowl.    Method: Choose your favourite plate and dollop some of whatever cheese you're using around it in spoonfuls or torn pieces. Cover these with the thin slices of persimmon. Drizzle over the dressing, scatter over the currants and hazelnuts. Add a final flourish of whatever you're using, the honey, molasses etc.  Eat quietly and reverently.  Note: Vincotto is a beautiful, fruity, tangy viscous vinegar See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once you had to choose: Either grow American persimmons that are hardy, but not great for fresh eating -  or grow the sweet and tasty Asian persimmons that thrived in warmer climates. Well, now you can enjoy the best of both by sourcing a hybrid persimmon. So in this episode I will chat with Darren Bender-Beauregard of Brambleberrypermaculture.com about growing hybrid persimmons in this episode.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1791 On this day, Martha Ballard recorded her work as an herbalist and midwife. For 27 years, Martha kept a journal of her work as the town healer and midwife for Hallowell, Maine. In all, Martha assisted with 816 births. Today, Martha's marvelous journal gives us a glimpse into the plants she regularly used and how she applied them medicinally. As for how Martha sourced her plants, she raised them in her garden or foraged them in the wild. As the village apothecary, Martha found her ingredients and personally made all of her herbal remedies. Two hundred twenty-nine years ago today, Martha recorded her work to help her sick daughter. She wrote, My daughter Hannah is very unwell this evening. I gave her some Chamomile & Camphor.   Today we know that Chamomile has a calming effect, and Camphor can help treat skin conditions, improve respiratory function, and relieve pain.   1835 Birth of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (known by his pen name Mark Twain), American writer and humorist. Samuel used the garden and garden imagery to convey his wit and satire. In 1874, Samuel's sister, Susan, and her husband built a shed for him to write in. They surprised him with it when Samuel visited their farm in upstate New York. The garden shed was ideally situated on a hilltop overlooking the Chemung ("Sha-mung") River Valley. Like Roald Dahl, Samuel smoked as he wrote, and his sister despised his incessant pipe smoking. In this little octagonal garden/writing shed, Samuel wrote significant sections of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, The Prince and the Pauper, A Tramp Abroad, and many other short works. And in 1952, Samuel's octagonal shed was relocated to Elmira College ("EI-MEER-ah") campus in Elmira, New York. Today, people can visit the garden shed with student guides daily throughout the summer and by appointment in the off-season. Here are some garden-related thoughts by Mark Twain. Climate is what we expect; the weather is what we get. It was a soft, reposeful summer landscape, as lovely as a dream and as lonesome as Sunday. To get the full value of joy You must have someone to divide it with. After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the garden with her than inside it without her.   1874 Birth of Lucy Maud Montgomery, Canadian writer and author of the Anne of Green Gables series. Lucy was born on Prince Edward Island and was almost two years old when her mother died. Like her character in Ann of Green Gables, Lucy had an unconventional upbringing when her father left her to be raised by her grandparents. Despite being a Canadian literary icon and loved worldwide, Lucy's personal life was marred by loneliness, death, and depression. Historians now believe she may have ended her own life. Yet we know that flowers and gardening were a balm to Lucy. She grew lettuce, peas, carrots, radish, and herbs in her kitchen garden. And Lucy had a habit of going to the garden after finishing her writing and chores about the house. Today in Norval, a place Lucy lived in her adult life, the Lucy Maud Montgomery Sensory Garden is next to the public school. The Landscape Architect, Eileen Foley, created the garden, which features an analemmatic (horizontal sundial), a butterfly and bird garden, a children's vegetable garden, a log bridge, and a woodland trail. It was Lucy Maud Montgomery, who wrote, I love my garden, and I love working in it. To potter with green growing things, watching each day to see the dear, new sprouts come up, is like taking a hand in creation, I think. Just now, my garden is like faith, the substance of things hoped for.   1875 Birth of Frank Nicholas Meyer, Dutch-American plant explorer. Frank worked as an intrepid explorer for the USDA, and he traveled to Asia to find and collect new plant specimens. His work netted 2,500 new plants, including the beautiful Korean Lilac, Soybeans, Asparagus, Chinese Horse Chestnut, Water Chestnut, Oats, Wild Pears, Ginkgo Biloba, and Persimmons, to name a few. Today, Frank is most remembered for a bit of fruit named in his honor - the Meyer Lemon. Frank found it growing in the doorway to a family home in Peking. The Lemon is suspected to be a hybrid of a standard lemon and mandarin orange. Early on in his career, Frank was known as a rambler and a bit of a loner.  Frank once confessed in an October 11, 1901, letter to a friend, I am pessimistic by nature and have not found a road which leads to relaxation. I withdraw from humanity and try to find relaxation with plants.   Frank was indeed more enthusiastic about plants than his fellow humans. He even named his plants and talked to them. Once he arrived in China, Frank was overwhelmed by the flora. A believer in reincarnation, Frank wrote to David Fairchild in May 1907: [One] short life will never be long enough to find out all about this mighty land. When I think about all these unexplored areas, I get fairly dazzled... I will have to roam around in my next life.   While China offered a dazzling landscape of new plant discoveries, the risks and realities of exploration were hazardous. Edward B. Clark spoke of Frank's difficulties in Technical World in July 1911. He said, Frank has frozen and melted alternately as the altitudes have changed. He has encountered wild beasts and men nearly as wild. He has scaled glaciers and crossed chasms of dizzying depths. He has been the subject of the always-alert suspicions of government officials and strange peoples - jealous of intrusions into their land, but he has found what he was sent for.   Frank improved the diversity and quality of American crops with his exceptional ability to source plants that would grow in the various growing regions of the United States. He was known for his incredible stamina. Unlike many of his peers who were carried in sedan chairs, Frank walked on his own accord for tens of miles daily. And his ability to walk for long distances allowed him to access many of the most treacherous and inaccessible parts of interior Asia - including China, Korea, Manchuria, and Russia. Frank died on his trip home to America. He had boarded a steamer and sailed down the Yangtze River. His body was found days later floating in the river. To this day, his death remains a mystery. But his final letters home expressed loneliness, sadness, and exhaustion. He wrote that his responsibilities seemed "heavier and heavier." The life of a Plant Explorer was anything but easy.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Wood by John Lewis-Stempel  This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is The Life and Times of Cockshutt Wood. John Lewis-Stempel is a farmer and a countryside writer - he prefers that title to 'nature writer.' The Times calls him Britain's finest living nature writer. Country Life calls him "one of the best nature writers of his generation.' His books include the Sunday Times bestsellers The Running Hare and The Wood. He is the only person to have won the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing twice, with Meadowland and Where Poppies Blow. In 2016 he was Magazine Columnist of the Year for his column in Country Life. He lives in Herefordshire ("heh-ruh-frd-shr") with his wife and two children. And The Wood was a BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week'  The Wood is written in diary format, making the whole reading experience more intimate and lyrical. John shares his take on all four seasons in the English woodlands, along with lots of wonderful nuggets culled from history and experience. And I might add that John is a kindred spirit in his love of poetry and folklore. John spent four years managing Cockshutt wood - three and a half acres of mixed woodland in southwest Herefordshire. The job entailed pruning trees and raising livestock (pigs and cows roam free in the woods).  John wrote of the peace and privacy afforded him by his time in the woods. Cockshutt was a sanctuary for me too; a place of ceaseless seasonal wonder where I withdrew into tranquility. No one comes looking for you in wood.   The Woods covers John's last year as the manager of Cockshutt. The publisher writes,  [By then], he had come to know it from the bottom of its beech roots to the tip of its oaks, and to know all the animals that lived there the fox, the pheasants, the wood mice, the tawny owl - and where the best bluebells grew.  For many fauna and flora, woods like Cockshutt are the last refuge. It proves a sanctuary for John too. To read The Wood is to be amongst its trees as the seasons change, following an easy path until, suddenly the view is broken by a screen of leaves, or your foot catches on a root, or bird startles overhead. This is a wood you will never want to leave.   The Wood starts in December - making it the perfect holiday gift or winter gift. John writes about the bare trees and the gently falling snow. The landscape becomes still and silent.  John writes, Oddly aware, walking through the wood this afternoon, that it is dormant rather than dead. How the seeds. the trees and hibernating animals....are locked in a safe sleep against the coldand wet.   By January, the Wood stirs to life with the arrival of snowdrops. If snowdrops are appearing, then the earth must be wakening. Of all our wildflowers the white hells are the purest, the most ethereal. the most chaste... Whatever: the snowdrop says that winter is not forever.   As The Wood takes you through an entire year, the book ends as another winter approaches. The trees are losing their leaves. Animals are preparing for their long sleep. John is preparing to leave the woods for his next chapter as well. Looking back, he writes,  I thought the trees and the birds belonged to me. But now I  realize that I belonged to them.   This book is 304 pages of a joyful, poetic, and soul-stirring time in the woods with the elegantly articulate John Lewis-Stempel as your guide - he's part forest sprite with a dash of delightful nature-soaked tidbits.

The spectacular blaze was seen from miles away.  Joseph Paxton, the English gardener, architect, and Member of Parliament designed the Crystal Palace, aka the People's Palace, for the first World's Fair - the Great Exhibition of 1851. Joseph had built four elaborate glass greenhouses for the Duke of Devonshire in Chatsworth, which provided valuable experience for creating the Crystal Palace.  The Joseph Paxton biographer Kate Colquhoun wrote about the immensity of the Palace: "[Paxton's] design, initially doodled on a piece of blotting paper, was the architectural triumph of its time. Two thousand men worked for eight months to complete it. It was six times the size of St Paul's Cathedral, enclosed 18 acres, and entertained six million visitors."   The Crystal Place was an extraordinary and revolutionary building. Joseph found extra inspiration for the Palace in the natural architecture of the giant water lily. Instead of creating just a large empty warehouse for the exhibits, Joseph essentially built a massive greenhouse over the existing Hyde Park. The high central arch of the Palace - the grand barrel vault you see in all the old postcards and images of the Crystal Palace - accommodated full-sized trees that Joseph built around. Another innovative aspect of the Crystal Palace was the large beautiful columns. Joseph designed them with a purpose: drainage. By all accounts, the Crystal Palace was an enormous success until the fire started around 7 pm on this day. The manager, Sir Henry Buckland, had brought his little daughter, ironically named Chrystal, with him on his rounds of the building when he spied a small fire on one end of the Palace. Newspaper reports say the flames fanned wind through the Handel organ as the Palace burned to the ground. A sorrowful song to accompany the end of an era in plant exhibition.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Matt Weiss is the Founder and CEO of RIND Snacks, a healthy snack brand focused on whole fruit nutrition. Their mission is to help consumers snack better by eating the whole fruit, maximizing nutritional value, and minimizing food waste. Matt launched RIND Snacks in 2017 — prior to that, he spent 20 years in investment research at Baron Capital where he covered consumer growth stocks. Today, Matt lives in New York City with his wife and three children. In this episode… What makes a successful brand? What can you do as an entrepreneur to create a viable business idea and stand out from your competitors? The consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry is very competitive, and brands looking to grow and scale must create unique products. It is important for entrepreneurs to find the sweet spot in their product category to distinguish themselves from other players in the market. This is what Matt Weiss learned while working at a venture capital firm, and he used this knowledge to innovate in the dried food category which led to the founding of RIND Snacks.  In this episode of the Brand Alchemist Podcast, Taja Dockendorf interviews Matt Weiss, the Founder and CEO of RIND Snacks, about his journey to building a successful CPG brand. Matt talks about the biggest turning points for his company, the lessons he learned while working in venture capital, and his love for exotic birds. Stay tuned.

It's time for festive fun with the December 1988 issue, and that means...kicking off with a real bummer of a Catherine story about two teen preachers, one of whom should have probably been removed from his father's care. Christina tries to fulfill Jane's request that she figure out what being "in love" actually is, and isn't. Karen brings us what is essentially a holiday "What Now," with gift ideas, recipes, fun facts, and a baffling layout. Karen then tries to convince her readership that smoking is uncool, fighting against decades of pop culture to the contrary. The whole staff pitches in on a holiday-themed short story. And then we're on to the departments! Exercise tights in Body Talk! Going On The Road to Tempe! Highlights from Help and What He Said (about consent)! And another wild installment of Stuff You Wrote! Grab some Oreos -- or don't, if you have political qualms (...you'll see) -- and join us!QUICK LINKS
