Early in the twentieth century, for-profit companies such as Duke Power and South Carolina Electric and Gas brought electricity to populous cities and towns across South Carolina, while rural areas remained in the dark. It was not until the advent of publicly owned electric cooperatives in the 1930s that the South Carolina countryside was gradually introduced to the conveniences of life with electricity. Today, electric cooperatives serve more than a quarter of South Carolina's citizens and more than seventy percent of the state's land area.In his book, Empowering Communities: How Electric Cooperatives Transformed Rural South Carolina (USC Press, 2022), Dr. Lacy K. Ford and co-author Jared Bailey tell the story of the rise of "public" power – electricity serviced by member-owned cooperatives and sanctioned by federal and state legislation. It is a complicated saga, encompassing politics, law, finance, and rural economic development, of how the cooperatives helped bring fundamental and transformational change to the lives of rural people in South Carolina, from light to broadband.Ford talks with Dr. Edgar about how rural electrification , combined with the paving of roads, and funding of public schools, helped transform bring the Palmetto State into the modern world.

It's what I'm doing right now and what I'm going to continue to do.” “You don't decide your destiny. Your destiny decides you.” “Cooking is like art. You eat with your eyes. And when you see art, it draws you to it.” He was very determined and found a way to feed off the negativity and use it as fuel. He uses cooking as a coping mechanism for his PTSD. At one point he gave away all his money to help bring Ethiopian refugees to the United States. “Excellence is doing everything you need to do at your very best.” Show Notes Book: Call Me Chef, Dammit!: A Veteran's Journey from the Rural South to the White House Meal Delivery Service: CHOW Website: Chef Rush

"I wrote this memoir to tell a story that was never meant to be told, and in doing so, I realized that I had to tell this to inspire, empower, teach, and educate on a worldwide platform across all races, genders, religions, beliefs, as we are all the same."Every step of the way, Chef Rush has overcome tremendous obstacles, including battling stereotypes and racism. In this memoir, he shares not only his wounds and what he experienced along the road to recovery but also the optimism, hope, and hard-earned wisdom that have encouraged countless others."My challenge to the reader is to take a moment and stop, look at where you are in life, and then keep moving forward," explains Chef Rush. "Once you get to the top of life's mountains, turn around and help someone else."Rush adds: "Entitlement is huge in today's world, and my hope is that through self-reflection, gratitude, and humbleness, we can put down our entitlements and understand how blessed we are and realize how much we can help others who are struggling. We cannot forget that people are the most important thing in a culture where media, politics and personal agendas often outweigh decency."ABOUT CHEF ANDRE RUSHChef Andre Rush is a retired decorated combat Veteran known worldwide as the White House chef with the 24-inch biceps and for his advocacy for military service, as well as suicide prevention, which is why he does 2,222 push-ups a day: to bring awareness to the ongoing epidemic of mental health and suicidal ideation.Chef Rush uses food as medicine and therapy to helping military overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD, with a method called "Cooking to Cope."

Sussex Inlet: The Forgotten NSW Rural South Coast Town – Part 2 The recent floods that hit Eastern States of Qld, Northern NSW and Sydney regions also hit the NSW South Coast area. Sussex Inlet is one such township that was hit by the recent floods. As a coastal region the area's residents have to contend with not only flood disasters but also bushfire disasters. As such one would think that governments of all levels would be prepared to meet any potential disaster head on, working in conjunction with the local communities in the Shoalhaven local government area. Sadly as you listen to this episode (and also part 2); the state of preparedness is left up to local residents to do as best they can. Sussex Inlet is one such forgotten township in NSW and is under no illusion that it is the only one, even in the Shoalhaven area. Join Reality Bytes hosts: Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic as they discuss the issues, challenges and dilemmas the residents of the Sussex Inlet area do face; along with a range of practical strategies to support the residents and local government with 3 Sussex Inlet Residents: Nikki, Raye and Sandra.

Jeffrey Lee Pierce (June 27, 1958 – March 31, 1996) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and author, best remembered as the hard-living guitarist/singer frontman and one of the founding members of The Gun Club, a band that fused the fury of punk with the melodic structures and lyrical obsessions of the blues, creating their own brand of swampy, ramshackle, psychotic, blues- influenced music. This episode is a re-creation of a 1980 mixtape made by Jeffrey for Brad Dunning, the original drummer of The Gun Club. Lineup: Marvin Rainwater, Buck Griffin, Lonesome Lee, Mack Self, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Drifting Cowboys, Leo Kottke, The Rolling Stones, Big Bill Broonzy, Waylon Jennings, Bob Dylan, Johnny Horton, Conway Twitty, The Count Bishops, Slim Rhodes, Howlin' Wolf

Plants offer home-grown solutions to healthcare by North-West University. Read by Rendy Mulaudzi. Approximately 80% of South Africa's population depend on medicinal plants for their healthcare needs, leading to an increased interest in the commercialisation of plant-based remedies. Research by Tshepiso Ndhlovu, a PhD candidate at the North-West University (NWU), is shedding light on the potential of medicinal plants in the skincare market and in the treatment of childhood diseases. The use of medicinal plants in treating childhood diseases is the current focus of Tshepiso, who is busy with his PhD on the topic. This follows his master's research, which showed that VhaVenda women in Limpopo have the potential to develop and sell low-cost medicinal plant skincare products that can improve their socio-economic well-being.

Studies on marriage migration often portray marriage migrants as victims of globalization and patriarchy. Although there are intersecting oppressions among female migrant workers, the tendency to conflate marriage migration with sex trafficking among humanitarian organizations and scholars lead to erasure of divergent experiences. In her book, Elusive Belonging: Marriage Immigrants and "Multiculturalism" in Rural South Korea (University of Hawai'i Press, 2018), Minjeong Kim challenges this narrative by showing how the feeling of belonging eludes a simple binary between authenticity of love [read as inclusion] and exclusion. Through in-depth interviews with thirty-five Filipinas, twenty-five Korean husbands, and eight Korean community members, Kim explores emotional citizenship created between couples, in-law families, as well as the transnational network of Filipina migrants. As scholarship on citizenship and migration highlights the importance of emotions in creating communities and identities for migrants in their host countries, Kim shows how Filipina's social identities, along with their locations, intersect with multiplicity of emotions to shape their belonging within diverse national, familial, and co-ethnic spaces. Through her rich ethnography of international marriage couples in rural South Korea, Kim reminds us of the danger of victim narrative that can flatten marriage migrants' experiences, and offers us a new way of thinking about citizenship that is shaped by migrants themselves through a multiplicity of emotions. Minjeong Kim is Associate Professor and Department Chair of Sociology at San Diego State University. Her research areas include gender, family and international migration, as well as Asian American studies and the media. Da In Choi is a PhD student at UCLA in the Gender Studies department. Her research interests include reproductive justice movement, care labor and migration, affect theory, citizenship, and critical empire studies. She can be reached at dainachoi@g.ucla.edu.

This week Jordan and I talk about the birth of Zora in rural MS and contrast that to the birth of Zion.  As I watch the world adjust to the COVID crisis, I think about pregnant women who have to go into the hospital alone or with only one advocate. I think about what it means for Black women to be in the hospital without advocates (family, partners, friends etc.) It pains me. I have personally experienced and watched women I love get neglected, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. It is all the more common without an advocate.

Al Cross, director of the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues at the University of Kentucky, discusses informing rural communities, counties, and states.

In an unlikely place at an unlikely time, a group of black and white former sharecroppers, socialist organizers, and Christian reformers began an agricultural experiment in pursuit of economic subsistence and human dignity. Historian Robert Hunt Ferguson, in Remaking the Rural South: Interracialism, Christian Socialism, and Cooperative Farming in Jim Crow Mississippi (University of Georgia Press, 2018), makes the surprising case that the Depression-era Mississippi Delta provided the necessary conditions for the flowering of such an endeavor. New Deal policies inspired socialist optimism while their racial exclusions left displaced tenant farmers looking for work and attracted to enterprises like Delta Cooperative Farm and Providence Farm, which promised to break them from the cycle of debt and offer them equal access to the schooling, medical care, and opportunity enjoyed by the white middle class. These cooperative farms drew inspiration from the transnational communitarian movement and advanced the radical visions of the American Socialist Party and the religious left, including celebrated theological Reinhold Niebuhr, who served as president of their board of trustees. While the experiment struggled with agro-ecological obstacles and internecine power struggles, and ultimately could not withstand the postwar attacks of white supremacist movement, Delta and Providence stand as models of how those trapped within withering hegemonies imagine a most just and free society and set out to do the daily labor of bringing it into being. Robert Hunt Ferguson is an assistant professor of history at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his publications include “Mothers Against Jesse in Congress: Grassroots Maternalism and Cultural Politics of the AIDS Crisis in North Carolina” (Journal of Southern History, Feb 2017). Brian Hamilton is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where he is researching African American environmental history in the nineteenth-century Cotton South.
