Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families
Springtime brings warmer weather, blooming flowers, and animals returning after winter. As days grow longer, sunlight signals plants to grow and animals to become active again. Trees grow new leaves, insects emerge, and many animals begin raising their young. Scientists study spring to understand how temperature, sunlight, and weather patterns affect living things. Spring shows how nature wakes up after winter and begins a new cycle of growth and life.

On this Second Sunday of Lent, Coffee to Go journeys into Gospel of John 3:1–17 and the midnight questions of Nicodemus. What does it really mean to be “born from above”—and why are we so desperate for clear, concrete answers? Hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore the tension between certainty and trust, grace and effort, and the radical claim that God's love is for the whole world—not just the “right” believers. Instead of clinging to John 3:16 as a simple formula, they invite us to linger with John 3:17 and its promise of a love that refuses to condemn. It's an honest, hope-filled conversation about walking a Spirit-led path—even when there are no road signs. Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the Transcript.

This week, Joanne welcomes master gardener Ingrid Janssen to the podcast to discuss the inspiring work being done by Little Forests Durham, a nonprofit organization focused on planting Miyawaki mini forests throughout Durham Region. About Little Forests Durham Little Forests Durham is a volunteer-run community non-profit organization based in Durham Region, Ontario, Canada, focused on giving tools, knowledge, and support to people, communities, organizations and local authorities to plant Little Forests in their neighbourhoods and communities. Topics Covered Ingrid's background as a Durham Master Gardener, seed collector, and advocate for native trees How Little Forests Durham was founded in 2024 and inspired by Little Forests Kingston What a Miyawaki mini forest is and how the method aims to compress forest succession into 20-30 years Why these forests are planted using dense layers of native trees and shrubs to mimic a natural forest community The importance of soil preparation, including cardboard, compost, and mulch to suppress weeds and build fungal-rich soil How sites are chosen through collaboration with municipal staff, parks departments, and local partners Why publicly accessible land is a priority for Little Forests Durham projects The logistics behind site prep, including access for trucks, compost delivery, mulch spreading, and volunteer coordination How volunteers help with planting days, often in large numbers, making it possible to plant hundreds of trees and shrubs in a short time Why planting design still matters, even in a more naturalized system, with careful placement of canopy trees, understory trees, and shrubs The realities of maintenance, including weeding, invasive species removal, tree protection, fencing, and monitoring for drought How mini forests help address climate change by increasing biodiversity, cooling urban spaces, and creating habitat for wildlife The role of partnerships with organizations such as Rotary Clubs, conservation authorities, Green Communities Canada, Greenbelt Foundation, and Trees for Life The group's ambitious goal of planting 30 mini forests by 2030 in Durham Region How listeners can support the effort through volunteering, joining the team, donating, or helping bring projects to their own communities The idea that homeowners can create smaller-scale versions in their own yards, known as pocket forests Ingrid's love of native trees, with a special mention of her flowering dogwood, grown from seed she collected herself Takeaways and Tips Mini forests do not require huge spaces. Even a small corner of a park or a backyard can support a meaningful planting. Native trees and shrubs matter. They support biodiversity, wildlife, and long-term ecological health. The Miyawaki method is about community. It brings together people, plants, fungi, wildlife, and local organizations in one shared effort. Good site access is essential. Successful projects need room for compost, mulch, tools, and tree delivery. Volunteer-friendly planning makes all the difference. Clear layouts and simple planting instructions help create a positive experience. Soil prep is key. Cardboard, compost, and mulch help suppress weeds and create better conditions for young trees to thrive. Maintenance matters. The first few years require protection from rabbits, trampling, invasive weeds, and possible drought. Climate action can be local. You don't have to wait for large systems to change. Communities can begin by planting trees where they live. Small efforts add up. Whether it is joining a planting day, donating materials, or creating a pocket forest at home, every action helps.

All season, we've rooted ourselves in community. Inspired by vast, underground webs of mycellium we've shared ways to create local networks of support, information, and resilience. We've talked about how we can use our collective power to prep for climate disasters, protect the water, and use our dollars to resist consumption and combat greenwashing. On this episode, we're ending the season by reminding ourselves that we're part of nature and that we can look to our fellow animals, as well as plants and fungi, at any time for lessons in community, resilience, and patience.
In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Dave Hoy — physical therapist, lifelong Pennsylvania hunter, and founder of Integrated Habitat Solutions — for a thoughtful conversation centered on habitat work, long-term thinking, and balancing passion with real life. Dave shares how cutting trees, reshaping food plots, and implementing timber harvest strategies have transformed both his hunting properties and his mindset. From edge feathering and crop tree release to hard mast plantings and nursery-grown chestnuts, the discussion dives deep into practical habitat manipulation while emphasizing patience, process, and learning through experience Beyond chainsaws and soil health, the conversation takes a deeper turn into career, family, and perspective. Dave reflects on nearly three decades as a physical therapist, the evolving seasons of fatherhood, and why he's building a passion-driven habitat business without the pressure of making it his sole income. Together, he and Mitchell unpack the realities of the hunting industry, the importance of mentorship and collaboration, and why long-term stewardship — not short-term results — defines true success. This episode is as much about legacy and growth as it is about food plots and timber harvests Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses (Whitetail Landscapes) the importance of land management and habitat improvement for hunting properties. Joined by Austin Unruh from Trees for Grazers, they explore various topics including the significance of plant diversity, integrating trees into pastures, protecting young trees from wildlife, and the benefits of specific tree species like honey locust for deer. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies for enhancing hunting landscapes and ensuring ecological balance. This conversation delves into the ecological and nutritional significance of mulberries, particularly in relation to wildlife management and sustainable land practices. The speakers discuss the benefits of mulberries for deer and other wildlife, their role in ecosystem design, and best practices for planting and managing these trees. They emphasize the long-term advantages of integrating mulberries into land management strategies, highlighting their cost-effectiveness and nutritional value. Takeaways Diversity of plants enhances the landscape's ecological services. Leaf litter is a nutrient resource for insects and birds. Tartarian honeysuckle can negatively impact native plants. Integrating trees into pastures provides shade and food for livestock. Shade is crucial for the health of deer and cattle. Protecting young trees from wildlife is essential for survival. Tree tubes can be a costly solution for protecting trees. Honey locust pods provide critical energy for deer in winter. Trees typically produce biennially, affecting food availability for wildlife. Choosing the right cultivars can maximize benefits for wildlife. Mulberries serve as an important food source for wildlife. They can be managed for both fruit and foliage. Mulberries have a high protein content compared to other fruits. The tree can be maintained as a shrub or allowed to grow tall. Mulberries are known for their vigorous growth and resilience. They can bear fruit in as little as one to two years. Integrating mulberries into land management can enhance wildlife habitats. Long-term strategies can lead to sustainable land use. Mulberries provide energy and nutrients during critical seasons. Cost-effective management of mulberries can yield benefits for decades.

Hungry? How well would you hold up against temptation if you had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 days and someone offered you a loaf of bread? Be honest! Lent is here and, of course, it's the time of year when we intentionally focus our life in relationship to life of Jesus, and consider the things that distract us from our covenant of discipleship. No wonder folks in the olden days covered themselves in sackcloth and ashes. Being honest with ourselves can be hard, and saying, “the devil made me do it,” will get you nowhere.

“If you humble yourself before the Lord” ... you will be in the perfect position for Lent. In this Ash Wednesday episode of Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith turn to Psalm 51 – the ultimate example of humility and repentance, to think about the importance of self-reflection and turning our hearts toward God for a good “cleaning.” But beware, cleaning the heart takes on special meaning in the Hebrew scriptures. Asking for a clean heart is asking for a whole lot more than just getting a “bath.” It's about getting a whole makeover. Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the Transcript.

In this first episode from Vietnam, Laura and Carrie land in Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon) and step straight into the chaos — jet lagged, wide-eyed, and trying to cross streets filled with rivers of motorbikes. They explore its contradictions: honking traffic and quiet hidden alleyways, glass skyscrapers and corrugated tin rooftops. These are their first impressions of Vietnam — loud, complicated, and unforgettable.Then we travel to the Cu Chi Tunnels, a 250-kilometer underground network used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War (or the American War, depending on your perspective.) Standing where history actually happened makes the conflict feel real and complex. We learn about French colonialism, Cold War politics, Agent Orange, unexploded bombs, and the lasting impact of war that continues today. We crawl into tunnel entrances, watch propaganda films in a dirt-walled bunker, and confront what it feels like to be an American visitor in a place shaped by that history.This episode is part travel diary, part history lesson, and part personal reflection — and just the beginning of our Vietnam journey.Musical Credits:Get Away In La, by Western Youths, Revolution Fever by Klaatu Verada Necktie, Music provided by: Slipstream Music Xanadon't by Mystery Mammal is licensed under a Attribution License.

Backcountry skiing safety comes into focus — why avalanches are one of the deadliest risks in the mountains, and what people think they’re prepared for versus what actually saves lives (training, terrain choices, and having the right rescue gear). A devastating update out of the Sierra: an avalanche near Lake Tahoe’s Castle Peak area left eight backcountry skiers dead, with one person still missing, according to authorities. Back at home, the latest storms bring a mess of wind and rain across Southern California — downed trees, dangerous road conditions, and the kind of weather that turns normal streets into swift-water hazards. Fullerton in particular got hammered, with multiple large trees coming down in a neighborhood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Corona Max deep-root watering gets a big plug — Conway swears the deep-watering tool helps keep huge trees healthier (and maybe upright when storms hit). Meanwhile, Big Bear gets slammed with 3 feet of snow in 48 hours, plus a heartfelt shoutout to Monique, a Vietnam-era nurse celebrating her 91st birthday. Also: Conway jokes his movie career has officially gone dry. Wrightwood’s Mountain High gets love as a great local ski option — 14 inches of fresh snow — but the storm also brought serious damage, including a massive tree coming down in Westwood (cue Conway’s “boom-crash” sound effects). And a nostalgic detour: remember those old car “brights” you’d click on with your foot? Big flex for the crew: listeners helped push the podcast past the Kelce brothers’ New Heights — Conway asks everyone to keep it going by hitting follow/subscribe for “Conway On Demand” on the iHeart app. Then it’s classic TV history: the Johnny Carson era — who had the most guest appearances, plus Conway’s own Carson connection and his “Mama’s Family” days. And it wraps with radio lore: Steckler dropping the full F-bomb on KLSX, plus a Norm Macdonald story — his custody battle, his KLSX appearances, and why comedians always called him a true “comedian’s comedian.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As his time in these areas stretches on, the encounters grow more personal, culminating in sustained observations that left a lasting impact on how he understands the natural world.Steve's account is thoughtful, detailed, and grounded in firsthand experience, offering listeners a rare look at what can happen when someone stays long enough to be noticed.

"The renegade felt the name for his own essential truth slip out on the tides of his aura. 'Duality' he said. But he did not understand." A new wild Swamp Thing is born and a trap is sprung by the Parliament of Trees ensnaring Swamp Thing's mind. Rob Veatch joins Robert Reineke in trying to untangle issue #69 of Swamp Thing, written and drawn by Rick Veitch and entitled "Wild Thing." And things are getting wild indeed in Rick Veitch's run.

In this one, I talk to journalist Paul Koberstein, whose recent book, “Canopy of Titans,” explores one of the most overlooked ecosystems on Earth: the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest. Stretching roughly 2,500 miles from just north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge to the western Gulf of Alaska, it's the largest temperate rainforest on the planet. Fueled by Pacific storms and cool ocean currents, it supports towering redwoods, Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and cedar — some of the largest and oldest trees in existence. Acre for acre, these forests store more carbon than tropical rainforests like the Amazon, with vast reserves locked in massive trunks, deep soils, roots, and centuries of accumulated woody debris. But even though it's one of the most carbon-dense ecosystems we have, and a critical buffer against climate change, it remains largely overlooked in global climate conversations. Paul pushes back on some of the most common narratives about forests and climate. He points to those industry ads that promise for every tree cut down, three more will be planted. It's an argument that sounds reassuring until you realize a young sapling can take a century to store the amount of carbon held in the massive tree that was felled. Trees are about 50 percent carbon. Through photosynthesis they pull carbon dioxide out of the air, lock that carbon into their trunks and roots, and release the oxygen we breathe. Southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest alone holds more total carbon than any national forest in the country. That scale of storage is central to Paul's point: the science doesn't say we're powerless. It suggests that we can still influence the climate back toward something more stable. If fossil fuels loaded the atmosphere with excess carbon, then forests, if protected and restored, can help draw it back down. Forests have stabilized the climate for thousands and thousands of years. Whether they continue to do so depends largely on us letting them do their job.
