Mini Series: All-America City  From #1 in the nation for food insecurity to now operating a multi-functional food alliance to meet food insecurity needs, High Point has shown the world that we solve problems in our community collectively. The Greater High Point Food Alliance, a backbone organization that ensures that everyone is on the same page in High Point when it comes to alleviating hunger, is the epitome of democratic process. They brought in people from all over the city to innovate how we could transform our city when it comes to food and hunger. We sat down with former GHPFA Executive Director Carl Vierling, as well as Founder of Growing High Point, Councilman Patrick Harman, to learn how community voices came together to transform our city.  While this is our last episode of High Point's Voices Discovered Season 1, we are excited to announce that new things are coming for this podcast, so stay tuned, stay subscribed, and we'll see you soon!   LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: View the full All-America City presentationLearn more or give to the Greater High Point Food AllianceLearn more or give to Growing High Point Watch this episode of the podcast on YouTube:   ABOUT THE ALL-AMERICA CITY AWARD:  In 2024, the City of High Point received the designation of an All-America City by the National Civic League – an honor bestowed on only 10 cities nationally each year!

Less than a year ago, Investigative Reporter and former Network Anchor Molly Thomas had her dream job as a Correspondent for CTV's flagship show, W5; with the backing of this team, she applied for the most prestigious fellowship in Canadian journalism, the Michener-Deacon Award.Molly won the Michener-Deacon fellowship for her special project on education in Afghanistan, the only country in the world where women and girls can't go to school. Then, as part of a series of nation-wide cuts from Bellmedia (who owns CTV), Molly was laid off and the story was shelved.That's where Canadaland stepped in. We've teamed up with Molly and the Michener-Deacon Fellowship to produce Dear Taliban, a new 3-part investigation that begins today.Dear Taliban spans three continents, taking listeners to the vice-regal pomp and ceremony of Rideau Hall, to one of the toughest hostile training programs in the world - all to prepare her for a complex and volatile area of South Asia.Host: Molly Thomas Credits: Tristan Capacchione and Caleb Thompson (Audio Editing and Technical Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: AG1 DouglasIf you value this podcast, support us!

The shifting geopolitical economics following Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to the reappearance of the word “Splinternet”. In recent years some countries have created the physical infrastructure to potentially run many internet services outside of the reach of the global network of networks most people know as the internet. As sanctions are imposed, popular websites and social networks blocked, and economic lines are drawn, could some countries like Russia and China withdraw completely, developing different protocols of connection within their borders – and maybe beyond - that might become incompatible with those of the current internet? Emma Taylor, CEO of Oxford Information Labs, drops into Digital Planet to discuss the fears. When scientists analyze fallen meteorites they provide invaluable clues about the history of our solar system. Antarctica is a good place to look as they are seldom disturbed, and arguably easier to spot. Yet It is a vast and hard to access area. Could big data and AI provide a guide to help researchers know where to look? Veronica Tollenaar and colleagues at the Glaciology Laboratory at the Université libre de Bruxelles, in Belgium think so. In a recent paper in the journal Science Advances, Veronica and her colleagues have described their algorithm for constructing a “where to go” list, rather like a treasure map, to rank the locations most likely to bear the rocky treasure. Whilst most games are obviously played for fun, many of them sure can feel like unrelenting hard work. Hours spent to “win” trophies or “earn” credits, are increasingly “sold” or transferred between players within these games. Could NFTs transform these sorts of activities into new economic structures? BBC's Chris Berrow reports. Presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Ghislaine Boddington.

Radio art & sound edit: Tara Downs  Writer & stand up poet: Jonny Fluffypunk Jonny Fluffypunk: "One of the joys of Short-wave listening that has captivated me all these years is the pure randomness and unpredictability of the experience...' I was inspired by the explanation that accompanied the original recording; the listener surprised and thrilled by the sudden interruption of unfamiliar station idents and snippets of broadcast… so how about another, even shorter-lived station, ‘interrupting the interrupter'? What comes through on the original recording (some sort of banal anti-smoking advice) is rendered strange and exotic by virtue of it swirling, unexpected, out of the ether, from somewhere unknown on the far side of the world; our shrinking planet suddenly seems vast and mysterious again. So imagine you're listening from a Polynesian island, in the dead of night, and how- distorted by distance, layered under interference and leaping out of nowhere- the voice of an aggrieved Englishman, exiled to a friend's shed after a row over a tinned pie, might somehow sound similarly magical. So often when surfing across the wilder weirdnesses of the radio dial the imagination is forced to come up with some sort of flimsy raft of narrative, lashed together from incomplete, ambiguous and incoherent snippets, if for no other reason than so one can get to sleep." Technical Production & Sound Editing: "A ritual attempt to invoke the gods of otherness and unleash the ghosts in the machine. Text and station ident recorded using 1986 Casio SL-1 keyboard and broken SM58 microphone, fed through Boss loop pedal and recorded on worn-out cassette on Tascam 244 portastudio. Result then played out via MW test transmitter and finally digitally captured for this project crackling from a cranky 1940's Phillips bakelite radio. Then sent to Tara in the Netherlands for further burial into the static... " Tara: "Jonny and I are similarly entranced by the magic of radio and divinations on shortwaves. This curiosity brought us together as colleagues and provides a constant, erratic wave that runs through Radio Droogdok & our Radiophonic Hut project.  This was a lot of fun, mixing Jonny's story into the original piece (picked up by DXer Colin Newell), peppering with field recordings from my own collection (made when resuscitating old radios) , playing with rhythm, distance and proximity to evoke both the feelings of isolation of a lone broadcaster calling out through the ether, and the impulse to connect with the ‘other' out there. I love both the contrasts between the transmissions and, strangely, the parallels. The seeking of solace in an invisible scattered congregation, and something of a therapeutic, self-help, ‘agony aunt' quality. And there's an irony to our piece: we really do both sit in our respective home-made sheds, playing with collections of beautiful old kit, swearing, experimenting and figuring out how to make it work, and how to reach out there into the impossible vastness of reverberating static..."

Meet Jason Raft!.Wonderful opportunity to sit down and chat technical and design with Jason Raft, Owner, JLX Productions and Iceworks Design..As owner and Director JLX Productions, a technical solutions business, and Iceworks Design which designs, builds and delivers sets across multiple platforms, Jason has had a long relationship with the performing arts..Deciding early on that back stage was where he belonged, Jason has carved a career for himself in the performing arts as a lighting designer and technical director and has managed to create two businesses around his ethos that “If you work in the entertainment industry it should be just as entertaining for you, as it is for the audience you work for!”.Like APATA, Jason has a passion for seeing that the next generation is better prepared to enter the arts industry and for him that means the world of production and production design. “When we're looking for technicians, we are looking for the person, not the skill.” The right attitude can get you far. .Iceworks Design implemented the annual Emerging Designers program when the university graduates approaching them for work experience had little to no understanding of production design. Seeing a need for real, in-house experience from pre-concept to build, the program asks those applying for ‘out of the box' thinking by first sending in “Who am I ?' resumes. “it was amazing, the way they portrayed themselves when we gave them the freedom to talk ..without criteria.” .What industry and the next generation need from each other. “Given the right direction, given the right opportunity, this industry will thrive. We've got to put aside what we thought was the right way to do things and start to engage in a different way.".JLX Productions is a technical solutions company for the arts and event industries.
