On Friday, August 9, A Rippin’ Production kicks off a weekend of headbanging revelry at 529, celebrating five years of bringing only the finest in hardcore, punk, thrash, and metal mayhem to Atlanta. The story begins in 2014 when Amos Rifkin first tried his hand at the promotions game: He booked Manchester U.K.’s classic oi-punk and new wave group Slaughter and the Dogs to headline a show in Purgatory at the Masquerade’s original North Avenue location. Call it beginner’s luck, but Slaughter and the Dogs happened to be touring the States performing songs from the group’s undisputed masterpiece, 1978’s "Do It Doggystyle" LP. A perfectly calibrated set of openers for a Wednesday night — featuring like-minded local punks and rock ’n’ rollers Maggos Heros, Gunpowder Gray, Antagonizers, and Dinos Boys — filled out the rest of the bill for a riotous night of music. “For a minute I was innocent enough to think that all of my shows would be that magical,” Rifkin laughs. “For one brief moment, I was batting a thousand. It’s all been downhill ever since!” Joking aside, hitting the five-year mark as an independent promoter in Atlanta is an impressive feat. Rifkin’s ascent is made all the more remarkable when considering just how much he has accomplished in that time — 500 shows in five years, including performances by legendary underground acts such as British new wave headbangers Satan, Greenville, South Carolina’s death metal and middle eastern music masters Nile, Chicago’s doom outfit the Skull (ex-members of Trouble), and more setting up on stages throughout the city, from Center Stage to the Clermont Lounge. Recently, Rifkin expanded A Rippin’s operations to include graphic designer and right-hand man Van Bassman of Buzzards of Fuzz, writer and videographer Mark McPheeters, and Cody Martin, the latter of whom is in charge of the colossal Mass Destruction Metal Fest, which returns to Center Stage Nov. 1-2. As of April 1, Rifkin has also taken on the role of in-house booking agent for 529. Naturally, he’s put together a three-day, five-year anniversary blowout. Friday night’s lineup includes performances by High Spirits, Lazer/Wulf, Gunpowder Gray, Maiden Killers, Vimur, and Abysmal Lord. On Saturday, Morbid Saint, All Hell, and Young Beasts take the stage. On Sunday night, Daikaiju, Shehehe, and Trauma City bring the weekend to a fiery close. Photo by Chad Radford

Jack O’Lanterns are a dye fungi so the water will become orange. When put into hot water chanterelles produce a negligible color change. Below are photos of chanterelles (left & top)& jacks (right & bottom) in hot water."      Are you a musician? Would you like to have your version of Fungi Town (like Funky Town) featured on the show?

Welcome back, citizen! This episode, I focus on having fun with fibers. My guest, Alissa Allen of Mycopigments, will talk about how to turn mushrooms and lichens into yarn dye! As a fiber artist, I'm especially excited to learn about this creative alternative to chemical colors. I'll also speak to Alissa's client and friend, Tess Barlow, about her experiences discovering her regional color palette. (Big apologies for the sticky keyboard sounds during Alissa's interview. I spilled beer on my laptop. T_T) You can reach Alissa and other mushroom dyers on the Mushroom and Lichen Dyers United Facebook group. You can find a brief overview of the known history of dyes here.

Welcome back, citizen! This week, Fungi Town has gone batty! These often misunderstood but very beneficial creatures are one of the most fascinating things in nature. We've got 47 species in North America. One of America's native bats is the Pallid bat, that feeds on the "deathstalker" scorpion, the sting of which is said to be able to kill an adult human.  Did you know that Austin, TX is home to the largest urban bat colony in the world? Those bats can eat tons of insects per night! But North America's bats represent only 3% of the worlds bat species.  I could go on and on about all of the great things about bats, but I've brought in two great guests this episode to share their love for bats. Karen Vanderwolf of the University of Wisconsin and Melissa Ingala from the American Museum of Natural History will help us learn about the biggest threat to our bats: White Nose Syndrome. For a WNS distribution map, go here. What do you do if you've found a bat? Generally, you shouldn't disturb it, but if you think it may be injured or in danger, here are a few links where you can learn how to safely help the bat and who you can contact for help. Bat World Sanctuary, Inc. - in the U.S. Essex Bat Group - in the U.K. If you'd like to help bats in general, consider donating or volunteering to one of these organizations: Bat Conservation International Lubee Bat Conservancy If you're a member of the caving community, here are some resources that cover how to help protect bats while you're caving: Bat Caver White-Nose Syndrome.org Great news!

Welcome back, citizen!  In this episode of Fungi Town, we learn about a culinary delicacy from the American south that just might become a boon for Georgia farmers. Cousin to the well-known and much-sought-after European black truffle, the pecan truffle can be found much closer to home, but still fetches a nice price in the local market. Find out what a pecan truffle is, how it was discovered, and where to find it when I talk with Dr. Tim Brenneman from the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia and Dr. Matthew Smith and Ph.D. student Arthur Grupe from the University of Florida's Plant Pathology Department. **correction: I mistakenly described the pecan truffle fungus as being endomycorrhizal, when in fact it is ectomycorrhizal. Here's a cute infographic on the differences between the chocolate truffle and the mushroom variety (you'll need to scroll down a little). There's a great article about Georgia Pecan Truffles in Garden & Gun Magazine. To watch a video of my guests with a truffle dog, go here. Want to teach your dog to hunt truffles? Try Truffle Dog Co. or Southern Tradition Kennels. To order pecan truffles, pecan truffle oil, and schedule a truffle hunt, try Pecan Ridge Plantation. To get your science on and view pictures of truffle look-alikes to watch out for, try this. Thirsty? Here's a European black truffle infused vodka called Black Moth (for funzies).

Hello, citizen. Welcome back to Fungi Town!  This time, we go underground to explore complex relationship between orchids and fungi. Did you know that all orchids depend on underground fungi to grow? In fact, most plants grow better with a fungal partner. But it's not all smiles and handshakes in this relationship. Find out more as I talk to Melissa McCormick from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center about mycorhizzal fungi. For a good overview of mycorrhizae, check out this article from Untamed Science. For a thorough read about orchids, try this entry by Encyclopedia Britannica. Confused about ecto and endo mycorrhizae? Here's a great infographic from Plant Science 4U. Okay, now WTF is an "endophyte?" Yeah, here's Wikipedia's entry on the subject. Special thanks to my guests, Melissa McCormick, as well as Dr. Dorset Trapnell and Patrick Smallwood of UGA's Plant Biology department. If you like this podcast, please consider becoming a patron.
