The episode offers practical tips for starting small, such as creating a flower bed with low-maintenance perennials, adding a bird feeder with no-waste food, and setting up a birdbath with a copper disc to prevent algae growth. The hosts also recommend installing a birdhouse tailored to a favorite bird species and gradually expanding these efforts over time. Listeners are encouraged to get their yards certified as wildlife habitats and to use tools like binoculars, bird feeder cameras, and bird identification apps to increase engagement. The hosts highlight the importance of patience and persistence, noting that these strategies can be applied in various settings, including homes, communities, HOAs, retirement homes, and nursing facilities.

Nach dem krassen Segment bei AEW Dynamite zwischen dem BCC (?) und Bryan Danielson, ist die Frage legitim, was Mox im Sinn hat. Will er sich nun auch wie die Elite gegen Tony Khan stellen oder hat er etwas anderes im Sinn? Die Elite scheint sich dabei gerade in einer Parkposition zu befinden, in der sich nur Jack Perry voran bewegt. Abgesehen von dieser Storyline ist bei den Weeklies von AEW nicht viel Krasses passiert, aber viele Storylines wurden vorangetrieben und einige neue kamen dazu. Auf jeden Fall scheint AEW nach den beiden PPVs All In und All Out ein wenig die Geschwindigkeit herausgenommen zu haben. Stephan und Katha versuchen lose Fäden zu verknüpfen und neue zu spinnen. Viel Spaß, mit der Elite Hour!
This week it's Chad's pick and he chose a movie he watched many times on VHS, 1987's MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE based on the franchise by Mattel, produced by Cannon Films and starring Dolph Lundgren, Courtney Cox and Frank Langella. It was a pick that made Bobbie seriously rethink the idea of doing the podcast. Enjoy and... Good Journey!

Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the award-winning podcast about anything and everything connected with nature, heard in 115 countries, 50 states, and all throughout the Carolinas. Honored with the Best of the Weeklies podcast award by the readers of the Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly, we bring you engaging and educational content each week. In this episode, your hosts, Debbie and Laurie delve into the crucial topic of ticks and tick-borne illnesses. Beginning with personal observations from their own backyards, such as baby bluebirds in a birdbath, they transition to explaining that the idea for this episode came from a listener in Florida. Ticks, parasitic arachnids related to spiders and mites, thrive in humid, warm climates and wooded areas. They use body heat, breath, motion, and scent to locate hosts to bite and drink blood from. With tick-borne illnesses on the rise, including potentially life-threatening diseases like Lyme disease, awareness is more important than ever. Debbie and Laurie discuss common ticks found in the US, such as the deer tick and lone star tick, and the illnesses they can transmit. They provide essential tips for protecting yourself: wearing light clothing, using repellent carefully, tucking pants into socks, showering after being outdoors, putting clothes in the dryer to kill ticks, and performing thorough tick checks. Proper tick removal with tweezers and saving the tick in case of later illness is also highlighted. Seeking medical care promptly if symptoms develop is crucial. Overall, this episode provides an overview of ticks as a public health issue, prevention strategies, and steps to take if you find a tick, aiming to educate and protect listeners.

In this episode, Debbie and Laurie sit down with Brittany Smith, the inspiring founder of Flora and Fauna Festivities. After leaving her teaching career, Brittany realized that not all kids have access to nature, which led her to start this educational organization. Her mission is to bring nature education to people of all ages, eliminate fear of nature, and show how everything in nature is connected. Brittany offers a range of programs for pre-K through high school students, as well as for adults. She partners with parks, wineries, restaurants, and other businesses to create public nature education experiences, such as teaching about wildflowers over wine at a winery and making seeded paper with recycled materials. She also leads free guided hikes for all ages. Utilizing resources like Project Wild, Brittany develops engaging, hands-on lessons and is currently working towards her NC Environmental Educator Certification. She is an active member of the Environmental Educators of NC organization, and her ultimate dream is to open a nature center with both indoor and outdoor spaces for learning about and experiencing nature. Debbie and Laurie encourage listeners, especially business owners, to contact Brittany to sponsor programs or events. They appreciate her enthusiasm for bringing nature education to wider audiences.

Laurie and Debbie discuss the significant ecological consequences of such introductions and the urgent need for more effective treatments to control these problematic invaders.

Welcome to another informative episode of The Backyard Naturalists, the award-winning podcast heard in 115 countries, all 50 states, and throughout the Carolinas. We're proud to have won the Best of the Weeklies podcast award from the readers of the Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly! In this episode, we explore an environmentally friendly way to control mosquitoes: bats! Our hosts delve into the benefits of attracting bats to your yard, such as natural mosquito control and pollination, and provide expert tips on building and installing bat houses. Key Points: · Bats are fantastic for controlling mosquitoes—one brown bat can eat over 1,000 mosquitoes in a single night! · Bats also aid in pollination, benefiting your garden. · Optimal bat house design features a 4-chamber structure. · Ensure bat houses receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. · Mount bat houses 10-20 feet off the ground and 20-30 feet away from trees to avoid predators. · Use buildings or poles for mounting, not trees. · Paint the interior dark (brown or dark gray) but avoid oil-based paints. Exterior color should match your climate's July temperatures. · Install bat houses by late winter before the breeding season. Caulk the sides to prevent drafts. · Use rot-resistant wood like cedar, black locust, white oak, or reclaimed barn wood for durability. · JJoin us as we guide you through creating a welcoming habitat for these beneficial creatures and transform your yard into a mosquito-free zone!

Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the captivating podcast that delves into the wonders of nature! Broadcasting across 115 countries, all 50 states, and throughout the picturesque Carolinas, our show has garnered acclaim, including the prestigious Best of the Weeklies award from the readers of the Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly. In this episode, we're joined by the remarkable Lenny Starr, a seasoned natural resources supervisor at Mecklenburg County Parks and Rec. Lenny wears another hat too: he's a Central Carolina's Master Naturalist. His and Debbie's paths intertwined years ago when they were part of the inaugural graduating class. Cicadas, those enigmatic insects, take center stage today. Their appearance is anything but ordinary—large, chunky, and with a distinct short body. But it's their song that truly captivates. Imagine describing a cicada to someone who's never encountered one—their buzzing, their rhythmic chorus. These creatures span the globe, their presence felt in every corner. What ignites the collective fascination with cicadas? Lenny's take is simple: “It's fascinating.” Even the periodical cicadas, part of the magical genus known as “Magic Cicada”, evoke wonder. Whether you're a seasoned nature enthusiast or a casual observer, cicadas demand attention. And here's the twist: 2024 is a special year. We're witnessing the simultaneous emergence of two distinct broods of periodical cicadas. These remarkable insects are exclusive to the eastern and central United States, nowhere else on Earth. Researchers are on the edge of their seats, eager to witness the unfolding drama. So, dear listeners, whether you're sipping coffee in Charlotte, hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains, or strolling along the Carolina coast, join us as we explore the secret lives of cicadas. It's a symphony of wings, a tale of survival, and a reminder that nature's wonders are always in concert. Connect with the Backyard Naturalists on the Web, Facebook and Instagram.

It's the end of an era here, the end of our weeklies, we've consistently produced over the past two years for podcast platforms and for KWNK. We've interviewed people struggling on the streets and volunteers who do good to help them out, as well as movers and shakers, artists and illuminaries of our community, radical thinkers, doers and promoters. As we've gone independent, we no longer have the reporter bandwidth to be able to produce one episode every week. Going forward we will have occasional episodes. We are thinking of new types of interviews such as reporter's notebooks with prominent journalists in the community, looking into cold cases or having audio mini documentaries as we once did at our beginnings. Thank you for being faithful listeners and keep us in your subscription as pretty soon a new episode here and there will pop up, not as a regular feature anymore but as an occasional bonus, to inform, to enlighten, to give sounds of our Reno, Our Town Reno, the biggest little streets, still rad, still getting better, growing, but in need of tlc, of vintage, of keeping public spaces public and of helping each other out. We will continue our regular postings on the BiggestLittleStreets Instagram which we are proud to say for a hyperlocal initiative has over 17k followers, on the Our Town Reno Facebook which has over 11k followers, on our Twitter/X, TikTok where one video got over 600 thousand views, on the Our Town Reno threads and Reddit where we need more followers to continue. We also have a weekly Our Town Reno Substack which you can get by email every week. If you'd like to contribute to this hyperlocal reporting endeavor you can subscribe via our Facebook for three dollars a month, via our Substack for whatever amount you choose with your credit card, and if you have Venmo via the ourtownreno account.

But What Does Freedom Mean? By @CosmicBos Made for the @musicweeklies #freedom challenge I went with a serious tone this time, choosing to ponder the question what does freedom mean? Big shout outs to the legends Russell Brand and Duncan Truffles for being amazing question askers and journeyers through the mind, love you both infinitely Video version on youtube https://youtu.be/sz8znkctOTY #question #cosmicbos #subscribe #singersongwriter #songwriter #songwriting #newmusic #freedommusic #subscribers #subscribetomychannel #ukmusic #russellbrand #duncantrussell
Hello friends, So the Monthly Music Challenge is well on it's way now, into the second hashtag (#Escape if you weren't aware), and the challenge is coming to a close for the music makers of the Music Weeklies, there has been some excellent submissions to the MMC from that bunch (looking at you Trench Gun), and all you other music makers that need a bit more time, you still have until the 3rd March to submit your songs to the podcast. As for this song, the one that is this little bitesize podcast, Nick and I (Andy) worked out some guitar at the weekend, I then recorded a musical outline (using just 3 guitars), put some drum loops in, wrote the lyric, sung the lyric, released the video to the music weeklies world. The song is about being ready to escape when things go bad, and getting out together, not leaving anyone behind. For all the crazy in the world, it's not a problem if we can make good our escape. Please like, share and subscribe And send your Escape songs to us before the 3rd of March 2023.

A week into the Monthly Music Challenge and the @musicweeklies chaps have closed the door on submissions and opened up the next hashtag, so @CosmicBos present to you their song 'Nude Beginnings' in its raw week old form. We will now begin the tweaking process, tidy this mess up, get some sweet harmonies in there, maybe a guitar or two more, and I've been eyeing up the bagpipes for a track too (not that I can play them, or have any). You have until the 3rd of Feb to send us your #NewBeginnings track for inclusion in the Monthly round up (Coming shortly after the 3rd Feb - once we've recorded the thing) The new hashtag is now open for submission too, you have a week to do it for the Music Weeklies challenge, and three weeks to do it for the Monthly Challenge. Hopefully that makes sense, we are making this up as we go along pretty much.
