The Bennington Triangle refers to a mysterious region in southwestern Vermont known for unexplained disappearances and odd occurrences. Encompassing towns like Bennington, Woodford, Shaftsbury, and Glastonbury, the triangle gained notoriety due to its perplexing events. Among these, the vanishing of Paula Welden, a college student hiking on the Long Trail in 1946, stands out. Numerous other disappearances followed, like James E. Tedford, who disappeared from a bus in 1949, and the case of eight-year-old Paul Jepson in 1950, who vanished while his mother was momentarily distracted. Beyond the disappearances, eerie lights in the sky, unexplained animal mutilations, and an unsettling ambiance have been reported. The term "Bennington Triangle" was coined by Joseph A. Citro, an author who delved into the mysteries. While various explanations have been offered, the enigmas remain, captivating those intrigued by the paranormal and unsolved mysteries.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5007362/advertisement

“This experience felt very unique because it was deeply authentic. They were walking the ranch with the rancher. They were eating food that was not only grown onsite, but then also sourced from the cheesemakers, the oyster farms, the beekeepers, and they were even meeting those producers.” We're in great company with David Rust, Founder and CEO of SAGRA, a new collection of curated individual Farm Stays and experiential Farm Retreats in partnership with regenerative farms across the US where guests have the opportunity to connect with each other, the sources of our food, and the people who thoughtfully grow it.  Whether staying in a quaint private home on a dairy farm, taking a glamping adventure on the coast of a shellfish estuary, or savoring fully-serviced accommodations amongst seasonal produce, the SAGRA experience is the perfect home base for a day of exploration on the farm, unwinding in a serene natural setting, visiting nearby sights and shops, tasting the freshest food, and connecting with the people who passionately produce it.  In this episode, David shares how an interest since childhood led to a passion for a new business concept and activism in a community looking to make farming more relatable and accessible as we look forward to a new food future.  Top Takeaways [1:40] How growing up visiting his extended family's farm in Germany and agriturismo in Italy turned into a passion for farming and understanding farm culture in his adult life, even while pursuing different careers across different cities.  [7:00] It was both a slow progression and a special moment in time that brought David and his co-founders to create and actively pursue the concept of SAGRA. [11:10] “Get your hands dirty, or don't.” David shares more about his mission in making agriculture accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of interest or experience. [13:40] A look back to the beginnings of SAGRA in 2019 when David joined forces with the family behind Stemple Creek Ranch, a regenerative rotational grazing cattle ranch in Northern California, to prototype and practice this agricultural hospitality experience before opening an east coast experience, Hill Farm in Vermont.  [17:20] How SAGRA is part of a broader food and farm community, “Whether it's Dan Barber or Alice Waters, they're deeply passionate about telling a story, whether through cooking food, making a restaurant, or in our case allowing you to book a stay.” [20:10] The meaning behind “SAGRA,” an Italian word for a harvest festival, a celebration of food and community. [24:45] David explains how “hope and active optimism are powerful tools for change”, both for regenerative farmers and their guests who seek out to experience and learn more about those better ways. [31:20] Meet the 4 Farm Stays joining the SAGRA family this fall: Studio Hill in Shaftsbury, VT, Reverence Farms in Saxapahaw, NC, Silver Penny Farm in Petaluma, CA and Zuma Canyon Orchids in Malibu, CA.  [42:20] What David and his team at SAGRA are looking for in future Farm Stay locations, experiences, and types of farms, sharing their stories and supporting their businesses by broadening awareness and appreciation, one stay at a time.

In this episode, we are going out to the eastern part of the United States in the Green Mountain National Forest in the lovely state of Vermont to look at what some locals believe is a mystery similar to that of the Bermuda Triangle.  This area has been coined, the Bennington Triangle.  This name was first used by New England author, Joseph A. Citro.  Citro described the area as the woodlands around Glastenbury Mountain that includes the towns of Bennington, Woodford, and Shaftsbury.  There are also two ghost towns in this area, Somerset and Glastenbury.  Why call out this area?  Well, it got most of its attention when 5 people went missing in the area from 1945 to 1950.  Further investigation into this area, however, shows us that there have long been mysterious happenings in this area.  Everything from a “wild man” or bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, and of course, many missing people.  Some say as many as 40 people have gone missing in this area over the years.  Resources:Thanks to EpidemicSound.com for providing the music and sound effects.Abramovich, Chad.  The Vanished Town of Glastenbury and The Bennington Triangle.  Obscure Vermont: Stories of Vermont and Vermonters.  April 7, 2015.  Accessed January 16, 2022.  https://obscurevermont.com/the-vanished-town-of-glastenbury-and-the-bennington-triangle/ Blanchard, Fessenden S.  Ghost towns of New England: Their ups and downs.  Mean Dodd.  1960. Citro, Joseph.   Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors.  Mariner Books.  1997. Simard, Tim.  Haunted Hikes of Vermont.  Publishing Works, Inc.  2010.SPACE.  Secrets of the Bennington Triangle.  The Earth Chronicles of Life.  September 20, 2016.  Accessed January 16, 2022.  https://earth-chronicles.com/anomalies/secrets-of-the-bennington-triangle.html Tirosh, Gur.  Unraveling the Unsolved Disappearances of the Bennington Triangle.  History by Day.  Accessed January 16, 2022.  https://historybyday.com/pop-culture/unraveling-the-unsolved-disappearances-of-the-bennington-triangle/ Weiser-Alexander, Kathy.  Bennington Triangle, Vermont.  Legends of America.  August 2021.  Accessed January 16, 2022.  https://www.legendsofamerica.com/bennington-triangle-vermont/Support the show (http://cash.app/$JasonSidel)

This episode of Voiceworks: Sound Business is looking at what could be a new trend in the world of radio and podcasting: Hyper-Local Audio. For years now radio has been moving in the opposite direction, shedding locally produced content for specific locations in favour of big brands delivering high-quality network content across local licences. Could we be seeing a growth in demand for highly focused, highly targeted audio provision for communities in the UK? On this show, we speak to two people who are delivering hyper-local content to their audiences whilst also demonstrating a real hunger for that content and the value it delivers. First, we hear from Keri Jones, founder of Alfred, a new FM licence 'Alfred' broadcasting to a potential audience of just 8000 people in Shaftsbury, The Vale and Chase. More on them here: https://thisisalfred.com/ We'll also hear from Alex Whitely who is the creator and host of the Shrewsbury Biscuit Podcast delivering similar local content to a proud army of listeners in the Shrewsbury area (and beyond) more on that here: https://www.theshrewsburybiscuitpodcast.co.uk/ If you want to find out more about the world Voiceworks, working with brands, councils and communities to deliver this type of super-targeted audio content then please check out the "Our Word" section of the Voiceworks website: https://voiceworks.ai/our-work/ You can follow Voiceworks on Twitter @Voiceworksai, find Jim via @Mr_Jimbob and if you want to learn more about sound or find out how Voiceworks can help you unlock the power of audio at www.voiceworks.ai Learn more about your ad choices.

Political Theorist Ross Carroll takes the reader through Enlightenment conversations about the use of ridicule and laughter in politics and political engagement in his new book, Uncivil Mirth: Ridicule in Enlightenment Britain (Princeton UP, 2021) explores, as a framework, two schools of thought on the place of ridicule in political engagement, Thomas Hobbes and those who took their approach to understanding human nature from Hobbes, and the Third Earl of Shaftsbury, and those who followed his arguments. Carroll dives into these two approaches to the use of ridicule, unpacking not only the ideas around how ridicule can be used in politics, but also how it might be managed appropriately, noting the dichotomous approach to ridicule as part of the Age of Enlightenment and Reason. The Hobbesian school was concerned with the corrosive impact of the use of ridicule since it can communicate contempt. The Shaftsbury school thought that ridicule could be used in an emancipatory way, as another means of engaging with political opponents while also undercutting the political claims of those opponents. Carroll traces these debates and those involved in them, while also providing a fascinating “case study” of the use of ridicule by Scottish Abolitionists. This particular chapter, focusing on the work of these polemicists, explores their use of ridicule “to expose defenders of African slavery as not merely mistaken but contemptable, and their arguments as absurd.” (Carroll, Uncivil Mirth, p. 152) This was an ambitious political project that took ridicule as the weapon or tool to attack the Atlantic slave trade and the immorality of slavery. Uncivil Mirth concludes with Mary Wollstonecraft's commentary on the use of ridicule in terms of political education, and her own use of it in deconstructing sentimental teachings to women. There is a tension at the heart of the argument about ridicule and politics, namely that it can and often does make the political personal and the personal political. Thus, long before Second Wave Feminism would coin the adage that the “personal is political,” the British and Scottish Enlightenment thinkers and political activists were wrestling with how to manage the personal and the political, especially through the use of ridicule and laughter in politics. Lilly J. Goren is professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

We talked a month ago about the cost of that comfy sweater from the knitting side of things, but now we're going to go back a little bit further.  The Sheep itself (or goat, or llama, or…).  But that's not the only thing we need to trace in that regard.  There's the shepherd, which sprang into existence at the moment the sheep was domesticated.  Our podcast today brings back Tammy White, of Wing and a Prayer Farm in Shaftsbury, Vermont.  Little did anyone know, but among her many other talents, Tammy is a writer.  Her article “The Cost of Farm Yarn” was published in Taproot Magazine's Issue 36, and not only were they kind enough to give permission for us to broadcast it, but we have the author herself reading it.  As an extra, Taproot is going to send us the pdf's with all of that juicy cost breakdown to go with it (you accounting people are salivating, I'm sure), and we'll post it on the Backyard Green Films YouTube channel.For all you shepherds who watch your flocks (and herds) every cold, dark night of the year, this one's for you. Links:https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/domestication/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkahhttps://taprootmag.com/products/issue-36?variant=31025619763258https://www.wingandaprayerfarm.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

Paula Jean Welden was an American college student who disappeared while walking on Vermont's Long Trail hiking route. Local sheriffs were criticized for errors made in the investigation, which led to the creation of the Vermont State Police. Weldon's fate remains uncertain, and was one of several unexplained disappearances in the same area at the time. Precisely what area is encompassed in this hypothetical "mystery triangle" is not clear, but it is purportedly centered on Glastenbury Mountain and would include some or most of the area of the towns immediately surrounding it, especially Bennington, Woodford, Shaftsbury, and Somerset – once moderately thriving logging and industrial towns.

James Crews is the editor of the best-selling anthology, How to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope, which was just published to rave reviews in March of 2021.How to Love the World contains works of 100 of the best-loved and emerging writers, including Amanda Gorman, Ted Kooser, Mark Nepo, and Jane Hirshfield.The book invites readers to use poetry as part of their daily gratitude practice -- Accompanied by prompts for reflection, these are poems that you'll return to often for inspiration and creative exploration of life's daily gifts.   James is also the author of three collections of poetry: The Book of What Stays, Telling My Father, Bluebird, and Every Waking Moment.  His poems have appeared in Ploughshares, The New Republic, and The Christian Century, and have been reprinted in former US poet laureate Ted Kooser's weekly newspaper column "American Life in Poetry" (which reaches millions of readers across the world) and featured on Tracy K. Smith's podcast, The Slowdown. Crews holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a PhD in writing and literature from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  He teaches poetry at the University of Albany and lives with his husband on an organic farm in Shaftsbury, Vermont.ON WORTHINESS AND BEYOND:"I use poetry of course to process difficult moments like sadness and certainly grief, but I have also come to see poetry also as a great way to claim not just our worthiness, but also our joy.  And, I feel like what's missing a lot from American life and probably, life on this planet right now, is that we don't always give ourselves permission to really sink into the joy. Oftentimes we look for ways to short-circuit the joy that we're feeling because it feels so unfamiliar." ~ James CrewsJames shares his personal journey of discovering his worthiness and the journey he has been on since a young man. He discusses how he overcomes some of the curveballs that sent him down to a deeper discovery of himself and his worth that began in his early childhood.James describes poetry: "It's an art form especially suited for our challenging times –to help us dive deeper beneath the surface of our lives and enter a place of wider, wilder more universal knowing." We discuss how his current students are coping with the challenges of virtual school, the pandemic, and returning to life as normal.BEYOND THE ACADEMICS, what he teaches his students:  "I'm more interested in poetry as a gateway to know how you're living your life and writing as a tool to live a better life." ~ James CrewsGail and James also discuss what propelled him to create his latest book, which is far more than poetry. James invites the reader throughout the book to reflect and write about significant questions he offers that may help them embrace more gratitude, hope, and joy."I think we don't always hold onto moments of joy and excitement if we don't find a way to capture them... if we don't write them down or share them with friends." ~James Crews"Stepping out of life, even for a short while, can help us return with a new perspective on what seemed unworkable before." ~James Crews"We fall out of the practice of patience." ~James Crews"But the more we take time for ourselves throughout each day, the less we feel obliged to act a certain way or complete a list of tasks just to please someone else." ~ James Crews To learn more about James and his work, check out his website JamesCrews.net and his latest book, How to Love the World, is available on Amazon and elsewhere.

While Kyle and I have written-off international travel for the rest of the year due to the pandemic, it hasn't stopped us from exploring our local area and planning a domestic getaway. In August 2020, we spent four days exploring the rural areas of Shaftsbury, Vermont. While we usually pick accommodations based on the destination we're visiting, we ditched our original plans after finding a cozy log cabin on Airbnb. During our trip, we spent lots of time outdoors, wandered around town, and wore masks in public. Did I mention we also saw a Black Bear right in our backyard?  In this episode, we share the things we loved about Vermont and how we planned a trip during the pandemic.   Work With Me Join The Thought Card Membership to get access to the session How To Plan Local Adventures During the Pandemic and all upcoming virtual events and videos for financially savvy travelers.  Budgeting Course: https://thoughtcard.thinkific.com/    Connect with Danielle Desir  Blog: https://thoughtcard.com/ Podcast Website: https://podcast.thoughtcard.com Facebook: @thethoughtcard Instagram: @thethoughtcard Twitter: @thethoughtcard  Pinterest: @thethoughtcard  Join my Facebook group Financially Savvy Travelers   For all of the resources mentioned in this episode visit: https://podcast.thoughtcard.com/episode54-visiting-vermont-during-the-pandemic/   Also, read my book Traveling With A Full-Time Job and Affording Travel: Saving Strategies For Financially Savvy Travelers. 

There are places in the world where the veil is thin.  Where strange things seem to always be happening.  Glastenbury Mountain and the area surrounding it, what has come to be known as Bennington Triangle, may be one of those places.  Unfortunately, the mountain rarely leaves a survivor.  If it does, it doesn't leave them with many logical answers...

The Bennington Triangle in Vermont has historically been home to some of the country's weirdest sightings and events. The Triangle is comprised of small communities that include Bennington, Woodford, Somerset, Glastenbury, and Shaftsbury, with Glastenbury Mountain located at its centre. Besides being home to UFO sightings, wild men, the Bennington Monster, and strange rumors about cursed mountains, the Bennington Triangle is the last known location of a number of missing persons. Between 1945 and 1950, Middie Rivers, Paula Jean Welden, James Tedford, Paul Jepson, and Frieda Langer all disappeared without a trace - in the years since their disappearances, only one body has ever been recovered.

Today I'm thrilled to introduce you to a woman whose deepest expression of her truth is a little unusual. Leela Bunce is a professional clown, a laughter yoga teacher, and actress and a burlesque performer. She's an exquisitely beautiful, wildly talented and very funny woman whose journey into motherhood hasn't been all rainbows and giggles.  In this week's episode we talk about how performing gives her a space to fully express herself and to find freedom, the importance of laughter in shifting our mood and reality, and what an absolute relief it can be to drop expectations and pretense and simply admit that things aren't always rosy and easy.  Leela lives in the countryside so there are some time lapses during our talk (similar to old-school international calls) so stick with us... the raw goodness of this conversation is totally worth it. We even get some impromptu laughter yoga coaching, so find a space to park your car and have at it. You'll be so happy you did. To find out more about ILLUMINATE, the programme I'll soon be kicking off for mamas to step back into their light, go to www.thecenteredmamaproject.com/illuminate To find out more about Leela, go to:www.leelabunce.comwww.shinetime.co.uk If you're lucky enough to be near Shaftsbury this summer, try to get tickets to her show by clicking here: http://shaftesburyfringe.co.uk/news/secrets-blue-stocking-society-shaftesbury-fringe-2018/

This lecture is primarily about the thoughts of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, the Earl of Shaftsbury, with a connection to modern thoughts along the same lines. Also, Shaftesbury’s thoughts are here scrutinized by Brown.

Soil4Climate, a nonprofit organization, advocates for soil restoration as a climate solution. They promote regenerative land management practices to capture atmospheric carbon and encourage collaboration with the larger body of climate activism. Uniting “drawdown” strategies with emissions reduction, divestment from fossil fuels, a price on carbon, and climate justice advocacy, together creates a powerful alliance. Soil4Climate is inspired by the work of Allan Savory which is summarized nicely in his TedTalk as "if we do what I am showing you here, we can take enough carbon out of the atmosphere and safely store it in the grassland soils for thousands of years, and if we just do that on about half the world's grasslands that I've shown you, we can take us back to pre-industrial levels, while feeding people. I can think of almost nothing that offers more hope for our planet, for your children, and their children, and all of humanity." Seth Itzkan is co-founder of Soil4Climate and President of Planet-TECH Associates. Jesse McDougall owns and operates Studio Hill, LLC on Pullman Farm with his wife Caroline - their family’s fourth-generation farm in Shaftsbury, Eric Becker Is Chief Investment Officer at Clean Yield Asset Management, and Karl Thidemann is a co-founder of Soil4Climate and a Strategic Planner for Planet-TECH Associates.
