Podcasts about Upland

The toughest hunters in the US might be the western upland bird hunters like Matt Hardinge who chase chukar and Himalayan Snowcock through the same cliffs occupied by bighorn sheep and mountain goats. But when compared to the sheep and goat hunters, the chukar guys are doing it day after day for a season that lasts for months. Here's a glimpse into that world and a progress update on my bug bite rifle project.  

Ein starker Sommer am Diemelsee – und die nächsten Ideen stehen schon bereit. In der neuen Folge von BEI UNS AM DIEMELSEE blicken wir gemeinsam mit Klaus Hamel von der Touristinformation und Bürgermeister Volker Becker auf eine erfolgreiche Sommersaison zurück. Besonders gefragt waren der Trekkingpark, die ausgezeichneten Angelbedingungen am Diemelsee – längst ein offenes Geheimnis unter Anglern – und eine neue gastronomische Bereicherung in Heringhausen. Auffällig ist auch: Immer mehr Gäste aus den europäischen Nachbarländern entdecken den Diemelsee als Urlaubsziel und nehmen dafür teilweise erstaunlich weite Wege auf sich. Und der Blick geht natürlich auch nach vorn: Für das kommende Jahr ist ein neuer Murmelbahnenparcours geplant. Außerdem sprechen wir über die erste Singlewanderwoche am Diemelsee, die vom 29. Oktober bis 1. November stattfindet. Eine Folge über einen erfolgreichen Sommer, neue Gäste und viele gute Gründe, den Diemelsee immer wieder neu zu entdecken.

 How can Christians participate in the arts? What does Jesus have to do with aesthetics in the arts? How can a Christian-informed view of the arts help us better understand Jesus as the Creator and our Savior? This week we pick up with part two of our conversation with author, philosophical theologian and assistant professor of theology at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana about his latest book What is Beauty? An Introduction to Art & Aesthetics.

Send us Fan MailA woodcock can sit so tight it feels impossible until you watch a dog lock up with the bird practically under its nose. That moment is the doorway into upland bird hunting, and it is exactly where our chat with Donald Henderson begins. Donald is an avid upland hunter, a field trialer, and the president of the Maritime Bird Dog Club, and he explains how a first Brittany turned into a full-on bird dog life built around training, hunting, and keeping the tradition moving forward.We get specific about pointing dog field trials and what they actually test: two dogs run as a brace, judges evaluate race, drive, style, and bird work, and a single mistake on point can end your day. Donald compares wild bird trials on woodcock and ruffed grouse with released-bird events, and he explains why modern trialing still leans on old-school tools like bells even when most of us hunt with GPS collars. We also talk training strategy, including why wild birds are the best teachers, how homing pigeons and remote launchers help start young dogs, and why woodcock are often easier for early lessons while grouse demand experience.Then we zoom out to the bigger issue: clubs and trials only exist if new people show up. Donald shares the history behind the Maritime Bird Dog Club and the North American Woodcock Championship, plus practical ways to come watch, ask questions, and get involved without feeling out of place. If you're curious about New Brunswick woodcock hunting, ruffed grouse dog work, pointing dog training, or how field trials shape the future of bird dog breeding, this one is for you.Subscribe, share this with a hunting buddy, and leave a review if you want more conversations like this.

You've heard it said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." What exactly, though, does that really mean? While it is true we all seem intuitively to know beauty when we see it, we find it difficult to pin down an exact definition of what beauty actually is. Is it subjectively determined or is beauty as objectively real as the stars above us? This week and next on the Profile, we tackle this engrossing question with philosophical theologian and assistant professor of theology at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. We discuss his new book What Is Beauty? Dennis Bray (PhD, University of St Andrews) is a philosophical theologian who integrates insights from philosophy, biblical and systematic theology, history, and the empirical sciences.

In 2012, California voters approved Proposition 30 — officially titled "Temporary Taxes to Fund Education." The new tax brackets were written to expire in 2018. Voters extended them in 2016. This November, Proposition 3 asks whether to remove the expiration entirely.Phil and Camille go through what those fourteen years actually produced. Funding did rise: per-student spending increased 14% after inflation, and California climbed from the high 20s to 16th nationally. But two years after Prop 30 passed, the Legislature enacted AB 1469, a CalSTRS rescue plan that pushed school districts' pension contributions sharply upward. By 2025-26 the total contribution rate reached 37.7% of covered payroll — close to 38 cents on every dollar of teacher pay. The Public Policy Institute of California found that rising pension costs absorbed roughly a quarter of the entire pre-pandemic education spending increase.Then there's the revenue that never materialized. A study published in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, built on confidential California Franchise Tax Board records, found that 45% of the expected windfall from the 2012 tax eroded within a year and 61% within two. The surprising part is why: migration explained less than 10% of it. High earners largely stayed in California and reported less income. A separate Stanford team using the same dataset found migration effects near zero, which means the two studies broadly agree on the tax-flight question and disagree about something else entirely.The episode also covers Proposition 43, the measure whose author is publicly urging a no vote. Assemblymember Buffy Wicks wrote ACA 22, watched it pass 68-2 and 35-1, and has said she doesn't support the policy — it was the compromise that cleared two broader anti-tax measures off the ballot before the June deadline. Understanding it requires going back to a 2017 California Supreme Court ruling about a marijuana dispensary in Upland, and forward to Los Angeles Measure ULA, the mansion tax that has raised about a third of its projection while UCLA and RAND researchers found it reduced housing production by at least 1,910 units per year.Closing out: the second phase of Orange County's forensic audit into pandemic-era contracts, including the county health director who reprimanded a subordinate for raising conflict-of-interest concerns about Andrew Do, on the reasoning that Do was a lawyer and would know if there was a conflict.Primary sources throughout — LAO analyses, the peer-reviewed studies, the court opinion, and the audit itself.Written breakdowns with the documents attached: caunderground.substack.comPhil's book on California's political economy: www.thegildedstate.comInstagram and TikTok: @californiaundergroundX: @ca_underground

ABCA/Soldier Sports NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year, Justin Barber, is someone who has built his coaching career around developing pitchers and building championship-caliber pitching staffs. Barber finished his ninth season on staff at Taylor University, where he serves as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. And over that span, his pitching staffs have consistently ranked among the best in the NAIA. This past season Barber led Taylor University to a 56-7 record, finishing ranked 2nd in the country and played in the NAIA World Series Championship game. The Trojans pitching staff had a 4.73 era and held opponents to a .253 batting average. In 2025, Taylor put together the best regular season in program history at a 41-8 record and finished with a program-record 47 wins, climbed to No. 9 nationally, and captured its third straight Crossroads League regular-season championship and second consecutive tournament title. Barber's pitching staff was a huge part of that success, ranking second nationally in WHIP, third in opponents' batting average, and fourth in both ERA and strikeouts per nine innings. The staff also produced the Crossroads League Pitcher of the Year, three first-team all-league selections, an NAIA All-American, and an MLB draft pick. Barber's track record goes well beyond his time at Taylor. Before arriving in Upland, he spent eight years with the Indiana Chargers, helping more than 90 players reach the collegiate level and working with four pitchers who eventually reached professional baseball, including three MLB draft picks. Barber started his coaching career as a high school varsity head coach and also worked as a pitching and hitting instructor at Great Lakes Baseball Academy. In this episode, we're going to talk pitching development, recruiting, player development, and what it takes to consistently build a pitching staff that can compete at the highest levels of college baseball.

Clare County Fire and Rescue Service is appealing to residents and landowners of uplands parts of the county to exercise extreme caution amid a high fire risk. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has put a Condition Orange notice in place nationwide until 6pm on Saturday. The notice warning applies to all areas but especially those where there's live vegetation that could catch fire such as dead grasses, heather and gorse. Clare Senior Assistant Chief Fire Officer Cormac Falvey has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons any forest fire is "very difficult" to extinguish in conditions like these.

You can tell when a brand comes from real skateboarding, not a trend report. We're hanging with Jesse Farrell from Upland Clothing, a Jacksonville, Florida creator who started with DIY screen printing and turned it into a serious streetwear brand with a clean look, a strong point of view, and the kind of work ethic that doesn't need hype to survive. We talk about learning to skate in small town Callahan, building style through limitation, and why “making it for yourself first” is still the best product strategy in skate culture. Jesse breaks down the practical side of building a clothing company today: how social media drives discovery, why networking is just showing up and following through, and what he learned from doing a week long New York pop up shop after noticing real demand outside Florida. We get into seasonal drops, collaborations, content plans like day in the life videos, and the long term goal of opening a storefront that makes sense for the brand, not just the hometown. Then we zoom out into the personal side: staying healthy, sobriety and coping, and how identity politics and media noise can distract people from what actually moves their lives forward. If you care about streetwear, e-commerce, Shopify, skateboarding stories, and building something from scratch without waiting for permission, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's building, and leave a review with the city you think Upland should pop up in next.

399 Disclosure Day TMNT Pizza Ocarina Remake Management RegretDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are one episode away from 400, and while a big blowout special is still a “real big maybe,” they take a moment to acknowledge the milestone and the long, weird road to getting there.They recap a productive weekend, including house chores and a trip to LA to see Sparta open for Local H opening for The Toadies at the Belasco. Joe nerds out over Sparta's At the Drive-In connection, Local H's two-piece setup that somehow sounds like a full band, and The Toadies delivering plenty from the Possum Kingdom era. Also: a drunk guy in the pit goes way harder than the songs require.This week's Florida story features a fugitive accused of stealing crab legs from Winn-Dixie, then allegedly hiding inside an air conditioner air handler behind ductwork while his girlfriend hides in a closet. Because in Florida, seafood theft apparently turns you into HVAC.Geeking Out starts with Steven Spielberg's new alien thriller Disclosure Day, which opened big and brings Spielberg back into the alien-movie conversation. The Foos talk practical creativity versus AI, including Emily Blunt reportedly creating her alien clicking voice herself instead of using AI.Then it's food and nostalgia: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria is opening in Santa Monica on June 20, fully decked out with cartoon-style décor, merch, neon turtle faces, and a pizza pickup counter designed like the front of the Turtle Van.

Concerns have been raised that new agri-environment schemes will require such a steep drop in the numbers of grazing livestock that 90% of Dartmoor ponies will be lost. We're talking about upland farming all this week, and this morning we hear how the phasing out of the old EU farm payments are affecting English hill farmers, with two generations of a Lake District farming family.It's twenty years ago this summer that a group of farmers put their heads together and decided to set aside a particular day when they'd all open up their farms to the general public. It was a fairly radical idea at the time, driven by a desire to address the disconnect between urban populations and farming, and inspired by a similar project in Denmark. That was the very first Open Farm Sunday which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this weekend.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

John Laux is the Permanent Habitat Protection Manager at Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever. John & Travis discuss recent news in the upland world, USFWS to open up 92 million acres of land to public hunting, a new PF land acquisition in MN, a Farm Bill update, PATH program updates and optimism for more acres, a once-in-a-lifetime hunting opportunity creates more habitat in ND, more Build a Wildlife Area properties coming soon, General CRP vs Continuous CRP signup, dream hunts, and a whole lot more.

A judgement from the High Court yesterday ruled that the Food Standards Agency has been 'unlawfully' charging abattoirs too much and that it wasn't transparent enough about what it was charging for. The ruling comes after a legal challenge by the Association of Independent Meat Suppliers.Developers of small-scale hydro-energy projects say the industry's missing out on investment because of a heavy focus on wind and solar. Scotland in particular has long been a pioneer of cheap hydro-electricity, but companies say the current contracts to supply power are squeezing them out of the market. All week we're hearing about the current challenges facing upland farmers right across the UK and how they're dealing with them. Farming in the hills can be an isolated, even lonely, business. But a group of farmers scattered across the uplands of Shropshire have joined forces to pool ideas.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.With thanks to British Pathé Archive.

A new report says there should be plenty of opportunities for young people to take up training and jobs in land-based work - but there's a 'skills squeeze'. The study by Lantra, a charity which provides training and qualifications in land-based industries, says jobs are available but not being filled.All week we're taking a closer look at upland farming across the UK. In Wales more than half the country is classed as uplands, from dramatic mountain ranges and blanket bogs to rolling heathland and moors. Unlike England, farmers still receive a basic payment from the Welsh government, though it's being phased out, to be replaced with the Sustainable Farming Scheme, which came in this year. We speak to a hill farmer in Ogmore Vale.It's the fourth year of the Future Countryside Conference, which brings together a wide selection of leaders in farming, conservation and rural issues. It's being held at the Raby Estate in County Durham. This year, it's asking the question “How can we win support for a growing and recovering countryside?” We catch up with one of the organisers.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

The latest analysis of wildfires shows that last year the UK recorded its highest burned area on record, including the country's first documented ‘megafire' in Scotland, that's a fire which covers more than 10,000 hectares. Researchers from the University of East Anglia led a team of international scientists looking into last year's fires round the globe, they say wildfires are getting more extreme, costly and disastrous. Though less land was affected, globally the fires resulted in more than 300,000 evacuations and the deaths of more than 90 people. .A three million pound project backed by DEFRA which has been looking at how methane emissions can be reduced in sheep has announced its findings. Various breeds from Scotland to the South Coast were tested as part of the research which gathered data from thirteen and a half thousand lambs. The scientists involved in the “Breed for Change” programme hope sheep farmers will use their data to reduce their carbon footprint.All week we're focusing on farming in the uplands, places above a thousand feet, landscapes like the Brecon Beacons, the Peak District, and the Highlands: many of the most stunning places in the country, but because of their geography they're generally harder places to farm. MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee are preparing a report on the challenges facing upland farmers in England and how the Government can best support them. It follows the publication of the Land Use Framework, which identified upland areas as places which could be most suitable for delivering climate and nature targets.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Ryan Lynton, host of The Upland Social Podcast, joins Reid to talk about his journey into upland hunting as an adult-onset hunter from Indiana.Ryan Lynton, host of The Upland Social Podcast, joins Reid to talk about his journey into upland hunting as an adult-onset hunter from Indiana. He covers early experiences with elk and rabbits, the dog that got him into birds, and how he's using his platforms to build community and advance conservation.

In this episode of The Birdshot Podcast, host Nick Larson sits down with Todd Bumgardner, founder of Pack Mule Training Co., for a deep dive into physical preparation for the uplands. They discuss the shift from extreme "murder yourself" workouts to a philosophy of long-term consistency, focusing on how small, frictionless habits can pay massive dividends come September. Todd brings nearly 20 years of experience training hunters and elite military units to help upland hunters move better, stay resilient, and extend their longevity in the field. I've been following these principles for three years now, and the biggest change for me wasn't some fancy new gear—it was realizing that consistency is the most important variable. I used to tolerate sore shoulders and heavy legs during those first few grouse hunts, but by keeping a simple routine and rucking year-round, those opening-day miles now feel like a breeze. Todd and I dig into the "why" behind Zone 2 cardio, the efficiency of the 20% body weight ruck, and how to outsmart your own willpower by making your training environment frictionless. Expect to Learn: Why consistency over a long period is the ultimate driver for progress in the field. The "environmental design" trick of putting your gear in your way to reduce startup friction. How to use the 3-mile rucking assessment to establish your baseline aerobic fitness. Why Zone 2 training acts as your "recovery system" for handling back-to-back hunting days. The technical benefits of the Zercher squat for hunters looking to protect their spine while building strength. A simple one-minute mobility routine you can do every morning while your coffee is brewing.

395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book DayDoom Scrolling IntroSteph opens with a wild work moment: getting called a “fat bitch” by a frustrated patient during physical therapy — and somehow holding it together professionally while dying laughing internally. The Foos ease into the weekend recap with drinks (Steph's whiskey-limoncello highball, Joe's Michelob Ultra “carb watch” era), a Shoelace Express show at Pro5 in Upland, and Joe accidentally driving to the wrong Eureka because he didn't realize there's more than one.Then the Florida chaos arrives: a woman allegedly trashes a Subway over peppers on her mobile order — knocking equipment around, throwing trays, and earning herself an arrest for criminal mischief. Florida, never change.Geeking Out starts with DC going full horror: Clayface is getting a biological horror-thriller treatment, leaning hard into the actor-turned-monster origin and the “this is not a superhero movie” vibe. They talk why Batman villains can be more interesting when Batman isn't even in the story, and take a quick shot at Sony's villain-movie track record (with Venom being the best of the bunch).Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord continues heating up, with episodes dropping in pairs and the finale landing on May 4 for Star Wars Day. The Foos debate Maul vs Vader, who's scarier vs who's more interesting to watch, and even who has the better skincare routine (spoiler: Vader's face is not winning any awards).Then anime gets its own month: Crunchyroll turns May into AniMay with watch parties, award tie-ins, theater events, and big headliners like Chainsaw Man the Movie and Re:Zero content — followed by the eternal question: who has a Crunchyroll login they can borrow?They also dig into a Magic: The Gathering resurgence (Vegas buy/sell events, collabs like Spider-Man and Avengers, and whether they should start playing again), plus hype for the new Mortal Kombat movie and favorite characters.Before signing off, Steph drops a genuinely useful heads-up: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2 — 24 free titles across publishers, perfect for newcomers to sample different vibes. She highlights a few standouts and brings up AWA's Telepaths — which is getting an Apple adaptation called Liminal starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.Sports makes a brief, chaotic comeback too: MLB glove break-in methods, including steaming… and one player straight-up microwaving his glove for two minutes.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroSteph gets called a fat bitch at work and survives professionallyDrinks highball limoncello + Michelob Ultra carb watchShoelace Express show at Pro5 Upland + Eureka wrong locationFlorida woman trashes Subway over sandwich peppersGeeking Out Clayface turns Batman villain into horror thrillerBatman villains more interesting without BatmanMaul Shadow Lord schedule finale on May 4Vader vs Maul villain debate + skincare routine jokeAniMay Crunchyroll anime month watch parties Chainsaw Man ReZeroMagic the Gathering comeback Vegas event collabs Spider Man AvengersMortal Kombat hype favorite charactersFree Comic Book Day May 2 titles to grabAWA Telepaths Apple adaptation Liminal Vanessa Kirby Yahya Abdul Mateen IISports MLB glove break in steaming and microwavingOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroClayface, DC horror movie, Maul Shadow Lord, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, AniMay, Crunchyroll, Chainsaw Man movie, ReZero, Magic the Gathering, Mortal Kombat movie, Free Comic Book Day, AWA Telepaths, Liminal, Vanessa Kirby, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ontario, Upland, Shoelace Express

Andrew Vavra sits down with Mike this week to share how an "I need a job" internship led him to a career in marketing and communications with Pheasants Forever.

Tackled by 6 Cops During Meth Psychosis with Marley May | The Hopeaholics PodcastOn this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Marley May shares her powerful story of growing up around addiction, losing her father to suicide at 13, and spiraling into substance abuse as a teenager—including drinking at 14, using cocaine and meth with family members, and experiencing full-blown psychosis. She opens up about trauma, toxic environments, hitting emotional bottoms, and the moment she finally chose sobriety at 21. Now married, a mother, and active in recovery, Marley talks about young people in sobriety, finding fellowship, overcoming shame, and building a life she never thought was possible. This is a raw, honest conversation about generational addiction, accountability, faith, service, and the daily work it takes to stay sober and break the cycle. Marley also reflects on blaming others for her addiction, learning to take responsibility through the steps, and how recovery transformed her relationships. She shares what it's like navigating sobriety as a young mom and why community became her saving grace. If you've ever struggled with feeling like the “odd one out,” battled self-doubt, or questioned whether real change is possible, this episode will remind you that no one is too far gone for a new beginning.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.
