Recent graduate Andrea Mauk is from the historic mining town of Clifton, Arizona, just a few miles from the largest copper mine in the United States. Like many rural communities it has an aging and deteriorating housing stock, and its workforce is increasingly priced out of homeownership. In this episode, Willa Seidenberg talks to Andrea about her thesis, Old and Improved: Exploring the Use of a Community Land Trust to Rehabilitate Historic Rural Housing. It explores whether a Community Land Trust (CLT) model could serve as a mechanism for preservation, affordability, and community empowerment in Clifton. We hear about the popularity of mining town tourism and how a CLT can be tailored to meet the housing needs of Clifton.Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

What does it look like to grow a pet sitting business without losing safety, consistency, or your sanity? Mikayla and Aaron Anders share how Adventures in Pet Sitting evolved from offering "everything" into a focused set of services built around what they love and what their community truly needs. We talk about building a team with a rigorous hiring and onboarding process, including certifications that prepare staff for real emergencies. They explain how boundaries, policies, and case-by-case flexibility protect both the business and client relationships over the long haul. The conversation closes with how networking in a rural market drives referrals and expands awareness—especially for specialty care like farm animals. Main topics: Safety-first hiring and training Refining services for focus Team consistency and handoffs Policies, boundaries, and fairness Rural referrals and networking Main takeaway: "Knowledge is what protects us." This is a standard that shapes how you hire, how you train, and how you operate when things go sideways. Safety isn't only about avoiding worst-case scenarios; it's about building a team that can make smart decisions without panic, even in weather events, lockouts, or unfamiliar animal behavior. The more your business grows, the more your systems have to carry the load—because the stakes get higher with every new client, pet, and employee. Training, clear procedures, and ongoing education aren't "extra," they're what create consistency. If you want a business that lasts, build the kind of knowledge that keeps everyone safe. About our guests: Mikayla Anders is the founder and "Head Adventure Leader" of Adventures in Pet Sitting, where she designs and oversees enriching, compassionate care for a wide range of animals. With a background in biology and hands-on experience across animal care environments, she's built a safety-first business known throughout her community. Aaron Anders supports the company through marketing and operations, bringing his experience in business, photography, and brand-building to the behind-the-scenes work. Together, they've grown a trained team, refined their services, and built strong local partnerships to better serve clients.

Rural life often means being exposed to the sun. With it: the risk of skin cancer. But dermatologists can be hard to come by in the country. At least one practice, though, is making investments in small towns. Then, Colorado has taken some costly hits from the Trump Administration in recent months. It might seem punitive, but the growing number has others seeing a pattern. Also, as a store close to her heart changes hands, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, bestselling author of "Woman of Light" and "Sabrina and Corina," provides an ode to the independent bookstore. And, meet our new CPR Classical host, Monique Brooks Roberts. 

Rey concludes the reading of Armin Mohler's book, by examining the last two factions of the CR--the Youth and Rural movements--and also by speculating on how the CR concept can possibly help our understanding of historical fascism. ----------------------------------------------- Subscribe to https://patreon.org/tenepod https://bsky.app/profile/tenepod.bsky.social https://x.com/tenepod

Across Mediterranean Europe, olive groves are in decline from a range of factors, from disease to depopulation. In Italy alone, there are roughly 440 million abandoned olive trees, and the ecological, cultural and socioeconomic impacts from the loss are devastating, explains the latest guest on the Mongabay Newscast. Still, solutions exist to help turn the tide of this under-discussed problem. Federica Romano is the program coordinator and UNESCO Chair on Agricultural Heritage Landscapes at the University of Florence. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast she discusses the drivers of the degradation and abandonment of olive groves, how ecological factors and human-induced climate change exacerbate these, and the consequences for biodiversity and wildlife in Europe, where olive oil isn't just an economic institution, but also a significant cultural one. "Olive groves hold [a] deep cultural significance that goes far beyond agriculture [and] food production across Europe," she says. "Olive trees have symbolized peace, resilience and continuity through thousands of years, appearing in religious contexts, but also in arts and historical narratives." The Mongabay Newscast is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and previous episodes are also accessible at our website's podcast page.

The Government's new Warm Homes plan has been set up to help people switch to eco-friendly heating systems for their homes, such as air source heat pumps and solar panels. The scheme will provide £15 billion in grants. The five year plan has been welcomed by the energy industry, but some see it as a missed opportunity. We ask the Rural Services Network what's in it for rural communities.Vertical farming has been hailed as one of the ways to feed the world's growing population, expected to increase to nearly ten billion by 2050. Crops are grown indoors, under artificial light. This method of farming can use less water and fewer chemicals than outdoor crops but does use a lot of energy. We find out why Scotland's Rural College has just opened its own full-scale vertical farm in Edinburgh.Making sure that a farm is sustainable and productive over the long-term - without ruining the environment or damaging wildlife - can be expensive. A young food activist and a farmer explore how this can be done with environmentalists and campaigners for better food networks.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Entrevista Rafael Ferber - Presidente de la Asociación Rural del Uruguay by En Perspectiva

Using the narratives of women who use(d) drugs, this account challenges popular understandings of Appalachia spread by such pundits as JD Vance by documenting how women, families, and communities cope with generational systems of oppression. Prescription opioids are associated with rising rates of overdose deaths and hepatitis C and HIV infection in the US, including in rural Central Appalachia. Yet there is a dearth of studies examining rural opioid use. RX Appalachia: Stories of Treatment and Survival in Rural Kentucky (Haymarket, 2020) explores the gendered inequalities that situate women's encounters with substance abuse treatment as well as additional state interventions targeted at women who use drugs in one of the most impoverished regions in the US.

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Ray and Lisa from rural Arkansas share their ongoing experiences living on a secluded property where unexplained activity has become part of daily life.What began with strange odors and distant screams grew into repeated discoveries of large footprints, wood knocks echoing through the holler, and increasing activity along their fence line. Over time, multiple visual sightings occurred, including encounters with tall upright figures moving through nearby woods and across neighboring land.As researchers and investigators visited the property, additional physical evidence was documented, and several guests witnessed activity firsthand. Ray and Lisa describe patterns tied to seasonal changes, wildlife movement, and the natural layout of the land, including nearby water sources, food corridors, and dense cover.This episode features detailed firsthand testimony, long-term observations, and a situation that continues to unfold. The experiences are shared carefully, with respect for the land and the presence they believe moves through it.Read Lisa's book here: Once Upon a Time in Prim Arkansas.

Saravanan and Jason analyze the critical economic forces dismantling independent medical practices and threatening patient access in underserved areas. They highlight the personal story of Mr. G to illustrate the human cost of broken reimbursement models while explaining how the outdated Physician Fee Schedule forces doctors to sell to hospitals or private equity firms. The conversation details how consolidation inflates costs without improving quality and proposes the implementation of a technical fee schedule as a vital policy solution.

A program aiming to keep Montana's ambulance services financially afloat is in jeopardy, as federal health officials say the state can't implement the program. Rural ambulance providers could close if it fails.

Recently, news of Hebei villagers freezing in their homes this winter has sparked heated discussion online. The villagers are part of a government scheme to convert the population to 'clean' energy sources, mainly via a coal-to-gas policy. But as subsidies taper and the cost of gas rises, poorer residents are opting out of the policy, either using traditional heating methods to stay warm or suffering the cold. In this episode we explore the origins of the coal-to-gas policy, the real-term effects it's had on the population, and its relationship to the CCP's wider goals of net zero and rural revitalisation. And ultimately we ask, how does this policy affect people on the ground? How has this increased the burden on local officials in impovrished areas? And how do people practice acts of resistance against government policy, regardless of potential punishment?Chapters (00:00) Intro: Villagers in Hebei are freezing in their homes(06:49) *12 China Books Book Club*(07:50) China's climate policy and the politics of energy(12:45)Coal-to-gas and rural resistance(31:31)*BUY ME A COFFEE*(35:15) Rural revitalisation and the limits of state coercion Buy bookclub books here: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/2026-sinobabble-book-clubBuy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sinobabblepodLatest Substack post: https://substack.com/@sinobabble/p-178934152Support the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

Isabel González Granda fue profesora de inglés del instituto público Ramón Areces desde los años 80. Hace cuatro que está jubilada y hace un mes sus exalumnos le hicieron un gran homenaje porque, gracias a ella, pudieron conocer el mundo y aprender idiomas. En los años 90 puso en marcha un programa de intercambio de estudiantes internacional en un pequeño pueblo de Asturias llamado Grado, una apuesta formativa que le cambió la vida a muchos de sus alumnos. Diego Belmonte fue alumno suyo y uno de los primeros en disfrutar de estas becas de estudio. Ahora trabaja en Suiza, en la Organización Europea para la Investigación Nuclear, y asegura que "ha marcado profundamente el devenir de muchos chavales" que vivián en pequeños pueblos de Asturias.

What does it take to rise after life tells you “you can't”? In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, we sit down with Grace Moore—Financial Empowerment Specialist, Founder, Speaker, and 2025 Movement Is Life Health Summit Speaker—whose journey is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative force of mindset. At just 17, Grace was told she would never walk again. After waking from a nap with her left leg paralyzed, she faced a defining crossroads: accept limitation or choose possibility. She chose movement—of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Today, Grace speaks from the lens of the patient, sharing what it looks like to keep moving forward while living with daily pain. Her message is simple but profound: we can choose to be “up and able” rather than “down and defeated.” Grace also brings her expertise in financial wellness to the conversation, highlighting how financial empowerment—especially for seniors—directly connects to health equity, stability, and community well‑being. She breaks down the barriers people face, the myths that hold them back, and the power of language to either uplift or limit our lives. In this episode, Grace opens up about: • Her journey from paralysis to purpose • How mindset can shift the trajectory of your life • Why financial empowerment is a health equity issue • The importance of speaking life into yourself and others • Her upcoming journal, Graceful Movement, and how it helps readers embrace pain with compassion and courage Grace's story is a reminder that movement isn't just physical—it's emotional, mental, and deeply personal. Her voice is one of hope, empowerment, and unwavering belief in what's possible. Never miss an episode—subscribe to The Health Disparities Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you listen.

Joel's flying solo in this episode. He speaks with Paul Sullivan of the ACLU of Minnesota about the current climate in Minneapolis and St. Paul amid rising tensions and a federal law enforcement presence. Sullivan describes a significant increase in federal agents since late 2020, leading to numerous violations of constitutional rights, including the use of excessive force against peaceful protesters. He emphasizes the courage of local communities in standing up against these abuses, despite the fear and uncertainty that many, especially in immigrant communities, are experiencing.The conversation delves into the ACLU's role in advocating for civil liberties during this tumultuous time. Sullivan outlines the organization's efforts to document abuses, educate the public about their rights, and provide support to those affected by federal actions. He also discusses the importance of community mobilization and the need for ongoing vigilance to protect individuals' rights as protests continue. The episode highlights the resilience of Minnesotans and the ACLU's critical work in defending civil liberties amid governmental overreach.The Hot Dish is brought to you by the One Country Project.

A racial demographic transition has come to rural northern New England. White population losses sit alongside racial and ethnic minority population gains in nearly all of the small towns of the Upper Valley region spanning New Hampshire and Vermont. Homesick considers these trends in a part of the country widely considered to be progressive, offering new insights on the ways white residents maintain racial hierarchies even there. In Homesick: Race and Exclusion in Rural New England Walton focuses on the experiences of mostly well-educated migrants of color moving to the area to take well-paid jobs - in this case in health care, higher education, software development, and engineering. Walton shows that white residents maintain their social position through misrecognition-a failure or unwillingness to see people of color as legitimate, welcome, and valuable members of the community. The ultimate impact of such misrecognition is a profound sense of homesickness, a deep longing for a place in which one can feel safe, wanted, and accepted. Tightly and sensitively argued, this book helps us better understand how to recognize and unsettle such processes of exclusion in diversifying spaces in general. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kenneth Botelho, founding director of the doctor of medical science (DMSc) program at The College of St. Scholastica and a physician assistant, discusses his article "Federal graduate-loan caps threaten rural health care access." Kenneth explains how impending borrowing limits for physician assistant and nurse practitioner programs create an insurmountable barrier for students from the very communities that need providers most. He illustrates the paradox where government grants aim to stabilize rural health care while loan policies simultaneously cut off the supply of future clinicians. The conversation highlights the urgent need to align financial aid with public health goals to prevent a rise in mortality rates in underserved areas.

Prisons have frequently been presented as a “solution” to the economic woes and employment needs of rural communities around the US—but that doesn't mean residents of these communities want them there.
