This week's episode gives you a front row seat to my Friday live sessions, where culture, crisis, and community collide in the best possible way. Think of it as a sampler plate of reputational highs and lows. Some hits. Some misses. A few absolute disasters. And plenty of sharp commentary from the people who show up ready to spar.We dug into the stories bubbling across media, politics, entertainment, and news. Here's what we got into:• The tightening screws around Pete Hegseth and the trip wires Trump keeps casually laying in public. • Signal Gate, and why the smallest digital habits always tell the biggest story. • The American Eagle campaign, Pantone's baffling color of the year, and the new era of rage bait. • Spotify Wrapped's identity crisis, including why the app suddenly thinks everyone is eighty. • The Lizzo Substack pivot and why her cancellation narrative leaves out the part that actually mattered. • The Belichick and Jordan Hudson saga that refuses to stop producing plot twists. • Erica Kirk's full rebrand tour and what happens when an influencer decides to shed the bling. • The royal chaos machine that somehow keeps spinning even when no one is asking it to. • The early contenders for 2025's best and worst crises, including a few names the audience threw in with real enthusiasm.If you want the unfiltered version, join us live next Friday. Right now, the streams run through Substack, but soon you'll be able to watch on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. The room always warms up fast. The opinions never stay polite for long.Until then, pay attention to what people actually react to, not what the talking points tell you.

“The moment people are disconnected from their land and from the plants around them, it's easier to control them because they don't feel the spiritual connection to the land.”  —Aya Gazawi Faour, Olive Odyssey Co-FounderIn For The Wild's new series in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, we hear from their co-founder, Aya Gazawi Faour, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this opening episode, Aya shares how olive trees shape Palestinian life through everyday routines and long-held traditions. Families structure their seasons around trips to the groves and the olive press, gathering to harvest, share meals, and pass down knowledge. Even in dense urban areas, many keep a single olive tree on a crowded balcony as a living reminder of home. Olives are rooted in memory, community, and resilience and remain deeply defining across the region. This powerful aspect of culture goes far beyond the material. It is a sacred connection to the land and its abundance, a means of making community both with neighbors and with the world, and a crucial reminder of resistance and resilience.       Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through olive oil. Their mission is simple yet powerful — each bottle reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to sustainable, community-centered practices. To learn more about the farmers, their methods, and to source olive oil and recipes, visit https://oliveodyssey.com.Plants Are Political is based on Olive Odyssey's series by the same name.Learn more at https://www.forthewild.worldCreditsMusic for this episode was composed by Doe Paoro from her album “Living Through Collapse.” For The Wild is created by Ayana Young, Erica, Ekrem, Julia Jackson, and Victoria Pham. Support the show

In this episode, we step into the world of subtle energies, ancient lineages, and the forgotten intelligence of nature with renowned flower essence pioneer Katie Hess. For more than 25 years, Katie has traveled the world hand-collecting rare blooms, studying their emotional and spiritual signatures, and helping thousands dissolve old patterns, open the heart, and reconnect with who they truly are. Together, we explore the origins of flower essences across cultures, the skepticism they often provoke, the transformative shifts they can catalyze, and the deeper relationship between consciousness, nature, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:32) Opening Conversation(07:26) Katie Hess Journey and Flower Remedies(11:38) Understanding Flower Essences and Their Impact(21:16) Collecting and Using Flower Essences(37:53) Skepticism of Flower Essences(44:42) Spirituality and Connection to Nature(48:03) Regional Effects of Flowers(49:43) The Mystical San Pedro Cactus Flower(51:42) The Impact of Plants on Our Daily Lives(54:02) Building a Business Around Flower Essences(58:16) Stories of Transformation with Flower Remedies(01:02:08) The Cyclical Nature of Business and Personal Growth(01:11:08) Flower Essences for Addiction and Pregnancy(01:18:41) How to Get Started with Flower Essences(01:31:41) Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.lotuswei.com/hereforthetruth - 10% Discount Code: HFTTTake the Master Flower Quiz here!https://www.instagram.com/lotuswei/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Ever import super expensive plants, only to have them rot? Here are some tips! Tip #1: take a deep breath. None of this is urgent :)

Author Pam Penick stops by to discuss her new book "Gardens of Texas: Visions of Resilience from the Lone Star State". Beverly from Arbor Gate also speaks with Skip about holiday festivities.

Learn more about botanicbootcamp.com.JOHN LITTLE BIOJohn Little has been reimagining what urban nature can be since founding the Grass Roof Company in 1998.  Over the past 25+ years, John has designed and built more than 400 small green-roof structures and various other species-rich planting with walls engineered for nesting, hibernation, and year-round habitat.His nonprofit Care Not Capital pushes for a fundamental shift to redirect funds from one-off capital projects toward ongoing, human-powered stewardship that benefits both biodiversity and communities.Here are the core ideas John argues for—putting the best gardeners in the poorest places, moving money from capital into care, understanding that gardened places are best for biodiversity and people, moving novel landscapes higher up the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) metric, understanding that a modern public space gardener is much more than a horticulturist, keeping waste on site and using it to make places beautiful and biodiverse, and putting soil and plants on roofs.You can connect with John on Instagram at @grassroofco and @carenotcapital.

Certain plants used in holiday decorations, like holly berries and mistletoe, can be toxic for kids and pets if they ingest them. Find out which alternatives look just as festive and are safe.

Husband-wife team Dr. .Susan Cordell and Dr. Pat Hart have made their conservation careers in Hawai`i since the early 1990s in their respective fields of native ecosystem restoration ecology and Hawaiian forest birds. In addition to Susan's research with the U.S. Forest Service Institute of Pacific Island Forestry and Pat's work on Hawaiian forest bird ecology at the University of Hawai`i at Hilo, the pair have undertaken the restoration of 20 acres of prime farm lands at their home in north Hilo since the early 2000s. Their son Colin Hart has led the transformation of former agricultural fields into the selection, cultivation, processing and selling of boutique chocolate for his company Honoli`i Orchards. The family describes their commitment to Hawai'i's land and people–from students learning about Hawaiian birds, to restoring endangered plants in native ecosystems, and finally cultivating the land to produce a homegrown agricultural product.

Send us a textA friend hits play in a car and everything changes. That's how Yada first landed on Rick Ross's radar, and it's where this story of independent moves, relentless output, and Vegas grit really begins. We sit down to unpack how a Maybach co-sign became a mandate to own his path, why he built a 600-song catalog without chasing gimmicks, and how being blacklisted from local venues pushed him to write, finance, and star in his own films.We dig into the real mechanics of momentum: relationships that turn features into friendships, the lesson learned from paying for a verse once, and the quiet patience required to survive the “nobody cares yet” phase. Yada breaks down Mustard's place as a West Coast legend, his Bay Area-heavy influences, and the difference in energy he feels as an actor compared to a rapper. The film play comes alive through Loyalty Over Trust—rooted in loyalty, betrayal, and karma—and extends to his new suspense project Smoke and Mirrors, headed to Amazon and Tubi. He explains why he casts actors over rappers, how financing shapes creative control, and why he's determined to shoot in Vegas, where access is unmatched.Beyond the studio and set, we explore discipline and mindset. Yada credits jiu-jitsu for patience, presence, and two national golds, and he doesn't shy from hard takes on AI: useful as a tool, dangerous as a creativity eraser. We also tackle streaming economics, the tradeoffs between reach and revenue, and the ownership mindset that keeps artists afloat. Bonus: his favorite Vegas vegan spots, including Down To Earth and Prones and Plants, because fueling the grind matters.If you're building in music, film, or any creative lane, this conversation is a field guide to staying independent, choosing relationships over optics, and letting your catalog do the talking. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs the push, and drop a review with your biggest takeaway.

In this episode, I interview Ruthann Anderson, CEO of CAPCA (California Association of Pest Control Advisors). Ruthann explains that CAPCA represents licensed PCAs (Pest Control Advisors) who she describes as “plant doctors,” often recommending non-chemical solutions such as irrigation changes, soil sampling, and nutrition adjustments before turning to pesticides. They advise across agriculture, turf, ornamental, and urban environments, and CAPCA focuses on statewide education and advocacy to support the profession. She discusses challenges like public perception and inconsistent enforcement in the past. A major example is the BeeWhere program, which CAPCA helped modernize to improve communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators to reduce bee losses, showing how collaboration across groups leads to better outcomes.We also discuss the complexity of pest management, including public health issues like rat infestations, and the misconception that agriculture uses chemicals carelessly. Ruthann mentions grant-funded work documenting over 200 examples of PCAs choosing non-chemical approaches, which CAPCA plans to publish.We also dive into United Ag's mission to transform healthcare in agriculture: simplifying access, reducing costs, and putting empathy first with zero-copay clinics in rural communities. Ruthann highlights how thoughtful decisions, whether in farming or healthcare, lead to better outcomes, and she shares how CAPCA members can leverage United Ag's network for reliable health coverage.CAPCA: https://capca.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Ruthann Anderson, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

The Klamath Mountains are a rich site of diversity in Northern California and Southern Oregon, celebrated in Michael Kauffmann and Justin Garwood's book The Klamath Mountains, a Natural History, from Kauffmann's Back Country Press.  Kauffmann's most recent book, co-written with Matt Ritter, is California Trees, was just awarded The National Outdoor Book Award, and in honor of the seeds of that book being planted by all that Back Country Press does in this world, this week we revisit the fertile Klamath Mountains and our last conversation with Michael and Justin Garwood! Enjoy! This week, we take a broader look at the mighty, now-undammed Klamath River and its namesake region, exploring the importance of knowing any place better from multiple perspectives for truly effective and durable conservation to be possible.  We're in conversation with Michael Kauffman, research plant ecologist, educator, and founder with his botanist wife Allison of the ecologically focused Backcountry Press, and Justin Garwood, Environmental Scientist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, with a focus on fisheries. Michael and Justin have spent the better part of the last decade curating and editing a cohort of 34 expert contributors to a new, and, really, the first comprehensive, Natural History of the Klamath Mountains, one of the most biodiverse temperate mountain ranges on earth.

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Gropper, CEO & Co-Founder of Repurpose, whose purpose-driven mission truly inspired me. From surviving a life-changing moped accident to questioning why we use forever-lasting materials for five-minute products, she shares how her passion for sustainability has turned into a movement to redesign everyday essentials from plants rather than plastic. What I loved most about this conversation is how honest she is about the realities of building sustainable products — the cost, the manufacturing challenges, the misconceptions, and the grit it takes to keep going.   Her story is a reminder that with the right design, intention, and team, we can create healthier products for our homes and the planet. Key Moments From the Episode: * A near-fatal accident that reshaped her purpose and commitment to impact.   * The flawed logic behind single-use plastics and the question that sparked a new approach.   * How everyday products can be made from sugarcane fiber, cassava, corn, and bamboo.   * The hard truth about sustainable manufacturing and why affordability is still a hurdle.   * Tracking impact: over 700 million pieces of plastic replaced. If you care about better materials, planet-friendly innovation, or the real journey behind building a sustainable brand, join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode.

In this Shorts episode I'm talking about teaching kids about plants. It basically boils down to inviting them to the topic, following what they are interested in, encouraging autonomy while offering enough support that they are likely to succeed. I guess that could apply pretty widely. I also suggest several levels of starter projects. In the Q&A I answer Ryan's question about beginner raised beds.

Nurse logs, a common site in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, blur the distinction between life and death as they support not only the next generation of trees, but also a host of other plant and animal species. Learn more about nurse logs and what the Jefferson Land Trust is doing to give a hand to these incredibly significant ecological systems. Nan Evans talks to Carrie Clendaniel, Preserve Manager for the Land Trust, about nurse logs and facilitating the facilitators.

Gabe Goodson, a National Land Realty agent in Alabama, breaks down exactly how to design, build, and manage small duck impoundments that actually hold birds. We cover ideal water body size (start around 2 acres), target depths (12–16"), clay-based soils (plus when bentonite makes sense), drawdown timing, pump/ice strategies, and moist-soil management that feeds ducks all season. Gabe also outlines realistic acreage needs (often 10–15 acres to support ~2 acres of water), common permitting paths (NRCS, local water-rights holders), and current land costs in his part of Alabama ($8k–$11k/acre) to help buyers budget the full project, not just the dirt. If you're a landowner, buyer, or waterfowl hunter looking to add dependable duck habitat, this is a step-by-step playbook from soil test to first flights. Episode takeaways: Start with soils & water: Target clay subsoil to hold water; avoid sand. Bentonite is a Plan B, not the plan. Right-sized water: About 2 acres of water at 12–16 inches depth shows well from the air and is ideal for dabblers. Acreage math: Plan on 10–15 total acres to comfortably support a ~2-acre impoundment and buffers/blinds. Moist-soil > monoculture: Staggered drawdowns (e.g., pull boards every couple weeks) promote diverse natural feed; rotate light disking every ~3 years. Plant strategy: Use natural seedbank where possible; supplement with Japanese/browntop millet when needed. Don't mirror neighbors, be different if they all flood corn. Budget with eyes open: In Gabe's market, raw land often runs $8k–$11k/acre; clay on-site saves real money on levees and sealing. Permits & neighbors: Start with NRCS and local water-rights owners; place blinds/shot angles to avoid 6:15 a.m. neighbor conflicts. Timeline: A well-planned impoundment can be built over one summer if the site is dry enough for dirt work. Common failure: Skipping soil tests and design, then discovering the “pond” won't hold water.

Episode Description The invisible threat destroying your health isn't in your diet—it's in the air around you. A former T-Mobile VP exposes what the telecom industry doesn't want you to know about EMFs, 5G, and the frequency attack on your nervous system. Philipp Von Holtzendorff-Fehling walked away from his Vice President position at T-Mobile after discovering that electromagnetic fields from 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and blue light aren't just background noise—they're actively damaging your brain, blood, and autonomic nervous system within seconds of exposure. But the most shocking revelation? "When you get an iPhone 15 or 16 next to your ear and start a 5G call, it stresses your whole brain including your limbic system. That translates into anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic migraines." Dr. G sits down with Philipp to reveal the double-blind studies showing how frequency medicine can reverse EMF damage, improve heart rate variability, reduce parasitic load, and protect your nervous system from electromagnetic radiation that's destroying your health 24/7. Discover the science-backed truth about quantum healing and why EMF protection is now a non-negotiable for anyone struggling with chronic stress, brain fog, anxiety, or unexplained health issues that won't resolve—no matter how clean your diet or how many supplements you take. In This Episode: How EMFs attack your limbic system and destroy HRV within seconds (measurable on EEG) The double-blind studies showing frequency devices improve red blood cells, white blood cells, and reduce parasitic load by 40% Why chronic Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and fertility issues are linked to electromagnetic field exposure How 5G towers and Wi-Fi create the "great poisoning" driving chronic disease epidemics The quantum technology that neutralizes EMF stress and protects your nervous system 24/7 How to structure water and food with frequency medicine for optimal cellular absorption Why your blood clotting, brain waves, and autonomic nervous system are under constant electromagnetic attack The connection between EMF exposure and rising rates of anxiety, depression, and chronic migraines How frequency medicine healed chronic Lyme disease when antibiotics failed The science of quantum energy fields and why everything (including your body) operates on frequency If your nervous system feels stuck in fight-or-flight even when life looks fine on paper, this episode reveals the invisible energetic attack you can't see but your body is desperately trying to process.

Heat stress is a major component of plant health and it in growing more and more timely each year. Understanding how plants do or do not tolerate heat can teach us a lot about not only individual species, but communities and habitats as a whole. Joining us to talk about this is Dr. Brad Posch who is trying to understand the consequences of heat stress at the leaf level. He and his colleagues are tackling these questions in the Sonoran Desert where so many plants are living on a knife edge of survival.

This week on Cultivating Place, we look towards the heart of the thankful season in memory of the enormous, fierce, and grateful soul of Rabbi Arthur Waskow, who passed from this world on October 20th, fighting for the beauty of the world right up to the end. In his honor, we revisit our 2021 conversation with him, focusing on the sacred in the everyday and in the seasonal.  Rabbi Waskow was the co-founder of The Shalom Center in Philadelphia, which equips spiritual leaders with the awareness and skills needed to lead a "transformed and transformative Judaism that can help create a world of peace, justice, healing for the earth, and respect for the interconnectedness of all life."  A long-time activist for social and environmental justice, Rabbi Waskow is also the author of Seasons of our Joy, which brings reverent renewal to the ancient agricultural and season-based celebrations of the Abrahamic religions.  Enjoy, and give thanks for such souls in this world.

Katie from Girls in Low Places drops in this week and brings a whole different angle on country music — including what it’s like being a fan (and a voice) for the genre in the UK. She and Bobby get into how country is landing overseas, what surprised her most once she got closer to the scene, and why some artists feel bigger across the pond than they do back home. They also rewind to a viral Riley Green moment that blew up fast and didn’t exactly go the way she expected, plus the story behind why she flashed Tucker Wetmore — yes, that happened, and yes, there’s context. From there it turns into a no-filter hang about “industry plants,” the weird stuff fans argue about online, and what makes a honky tonk feel like a honky tonk no matter what country you’re in.

PlayStation 5 has officially turned five, giving us much to reflect upon. Has the console lived up to its potential, left folks disappointed, or fallen somewhere in between? We get into that -- alongside new Sony financials that paint an admittedly rosy picture -- before getting into the meat of our show. Two new Sony-aligned games have been revealed, but they've left many potential players puzzled, as neither offering is actually on PlayStation hardware. For starters, NCSoft's long-rumored Horizon MMO is real. It's called Steel Frontiers and it actually looks really nice. But it's only on PC and mobile. Meanwhile, a new Ratchet & Clank game has also been showcased, an online arena shooter called Ranger Rumble. But it too eschews PS5 and PS4, instead going straight to mobile platforms only. What gives? Why does Sony seem half-in on these off-platform initiatives, all the while neglecting their core audience that could give these respective titles the boost they need? Is it time for them to break old habits and embrace a more cogent multiplatform direction that centers PlayStation first and foremost? Plus: Sony's new 27" gaming monitor has people intrigued, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Spirits is getting another closed test, Elden Ring: Nightreign is receiving some much-needed DLC, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What do we think of Valve's new Steam Machine PC-console hybrid? In any given game's menus, where should subtitle options be nestled: General, Audio, or Graphics? Does ARC Raiders success potentially benefit Marathon? Is Dustin wielding his power over Brad in unsavory ways?
