This week, we're heading to RHS Garden Wisley to discover how its horticulturists are turning one of the wettest starts to the year on record into a garden that's primed for spring. Team leader Helen Bensted-Smith shares some top tips for gardening in persistently soggy conditions, and explains why increasingly wet winters and dry summers are challenges we need to adapt to rather than battle against. Guy Barter takes us on a seasonal stroll through Oakwood, which is coming into its own at this time of year, and has plenty of take-home ideas for gardening in damp shade. And finally, we popped in to see Liam Anderson, who's hard at work pruning the 75m Wisteria Walk. In just a few months, it will be transformed into a spectacular tunnel of cascading purple and white blooms.

The iconic folk duo met at an audition for the only country music band at a prestigious jazz school in Boston. They immediately clicked, and joined the rich lineage of Americana artists that stretches back centuries.In their 20s, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings discovered they had something special when they sang together, a sort of eerie emotional resonance that is usually confined to the blood harmonies produced when siblings sing together.Ever since they've been making music together which draws on the bluegrass, country and folk traditions they love.In their historic recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee (which has withstood three tornadoes in the last century), they craft haunting songs about the ugly and beautiful parts of humanity.For Gill and Dave, the DNA of folk music is something we can all contribute to, and which contributes to all of us.Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are currently touring Australia's eastern states.

Nation, it's time we crank the volume on reality and chase the creepy, metallic noises known as Sky Trumpets and British Booms. From the infamous Durham “Hum” to thunderless skyquakes that sound like phantom artillery, we dig into the strangest “why is the sky honking?” reports across England and beyond.We break down the best scientific explanations, including temperature inversions, atmospheric ducting, meteors, infrasound, and other perfectly normal things that absolutely do not sound normal. Then we slide into the fun stuff: angel trumpets, aliens with rusty spacecraft, secret underground projects, and why the internet may be half documentation, half audio creepypasta.Is it nature, industry, the end times… or just the atmosphere doing an aggressive jazz solo?

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) has opened an investigation into a fatal chemical release at Woodland Pulp in Baileyville, Maine.On January 27, 2026, 20-year old intern Kasie Malcolm, a chemical engineering student at the University of Maine, was killed and nine other workers were injured when a highly toxic gas was released into the facility. Two employees were also seriously hurt, one still remains hospitalized, according to the CSB. Based on initial information Woodland Pulp sent to the CSB, the industrial accident may have involved concentrated sulfuric acid mixing with sulfurous compounds in an enclosed process sewer. The mix likely created the hydrogen sulfide, which was released into the bleach plant area of the mill.
The Woodland morning crew navigated a Thursday "squall" of technical chaos that would make a NASA engineer sweat. Kicking things off --audio was completely garbled, a moment Tomlin affectionately dubbed "riveting radio". Despite the silence, Decker insisted his unrecorded segments were "gold," lamenting that listeners missed his most "witty" material while he essentially performed for no one.The absurdity peaked when Tomlin reported that NASA astronauts would soon be allowed to "phub"—or phone snub—their colleagues while in orbit. This sparked immediate envy in the studio; the hosts were baffled that astronauts could potentially stream Ted Lasso while orbiting the moon, yet they couldn't even get reliable on WiFi Earth.Whether discussing the "European Cup" of Catholic priest soccer or the perils of "Anti-Valentine's Day" breakup movies, the crew remained undeterred by their malfunctioning equipment. They closed the show with plans to take their "Morning Mayhem" on the road to the middle school, hopefully finding a place where the microphones—and the internet—actually worked.
Kyle and McKenzie break down a wild early-season week in amateur golf, led by Auburn star Jackson Koybun's video-game scoring at the Amerari Invitational—62-62-67 (-25), a new NCAA 36-hole scoring record (previously held by Tiger Woods), and an Auburn team total that tied the NCAA record at 77-under. From there, they go worldwide: Jake Buchanan goes wire-to-wire at the Africa Amateur to earn major opportunities, while Billy Dowling and Jazzy Roberts light up the Australian Amateur with closing 63s. They preview the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific in New Zealand—where the winner punches tickets to major championships and the ANWA—and finish with a fast, fun trivia segment: the “Cobra Amateur Blueprint,” featuring staffers' legendary amateur milestones (Lexi, Ricky, Homa, Woodland, Willett).

The local airwaves sizzled this morning as the "Morning Mayhem" crew took listeners on a wild ride through color theory and international headlines.In a segment that felt like a "Deep Thoughts" revival, host Amato sparked a hilarious debate over the true identity of a grape. While grapes are technically green or red, the team pondered why "grape-colored" jelly is always purple—specifically "Grimace purple". They even explored the etymology of "orange," noting that the fruit actually named the color.The conversation turned nostalgic when discussing the death of Saturday morning cartoons, replaced by kids staring at tablets waiting for parental locks to click. Meanwhile, Tomlin's news desk delivered global gems, from Somalia's first modern bowling alley to the high cost of Maine potentially changing its state flag.Sports guru Decker rounded out the hour, celebrating the Woodland boys' basketball victory over Ansonia. With an undefeated showdown against North Haven on the horizon, the energy is electric. The hosts' final advice? Go see what color your grapes are and stay tuned for more Woodland updates
Rise and shine, Woodland! It's Monday, February 9th, and we are coming at you live after a wild Super Bowl weekend. First off, grab your shovels because we've had three straight weekends of snow, and the forecast says more is on the way. We might see a "heat wave" of 38 degrees this Wednesday, but don't get too comfortable—it's freezing right back up.In school news, it's a shortened "ABAB week" with no school this Friday for "Valentine break". Make sure to return those overdue library books and get ready for the big Volleyball vs. Football game on February 26th. Over at the news desk, things are getting weird with red street lights in Denmark and reports of Russian cyborg spy pigeons. We even have ancient history news with a 2,200-year-old elephant bone found in Spain.In sports, the Seahawks took the Super Bowl 29-13, and our own boys' basketball team is looking for a big win against Ansonia today after crushing Derby. Finally, BTS fans, get your wallets ready for the new "Army Bomb" light stick. Stay warm, charge those Chromebooks, and have a great morning
The Woodland morning crew ushered in Friday, February 6th, with a spirited debate over whether the weekend truly begins on Friday morning or evening. To celebrate National Bubblegum Day, the hosts took a trip down memory lane, recalling the "bane of all teachers' existence": students packing their lips with Big League Chew and the dreaded detention task of scraping old gum from under 1980s desks with spackle knives.Tomlin's news desk provided a surreal shift, reporting the closure of the iconic Cape Cod potato chip factory and the discovery of a supermassive black hole nicknamed "Jetty McJetface," which reportedly packs a trillion times the energy of the fictional Death Star.The excitement peaked during sports as the panel debated the upcoming Super Bowl. Decker offered a statistical warning against New England, noting that no quarterback with the initials "DM" or a last name shorter than five letters has ever hoisted the trophy. Between celebrating basketball wins and discussing Olympic curling, the team bid Woodland a "fine" morning, promising plenty of reasons to stay inside for the weekend's festivities
Gillian Welch spoke to Rhythms Editor Brian Wise about her forthcoming Australian tour with her musical and life partner David Rawlings. David was set to join us but was held up in the studio mastering the vinyl version of the Time (The Revelator) album. Music included: Neil Young's Albuquerque from the album Live & Obscure Vol. 1, Mavis Staples' version of Gillian's ‘Hard Times', Emmylou Harris with Gillian's 'Orphan Girl' from Emmylou's 1995 album Wrecking Ball produced by Daniel Lanois and 'Revelator' from Gillian's Time (The Revelator) album and 'North Country' from Woodland.

Rise and shine, Woodland! The heat wave has officially split, leaving us in a pristine winter wonderland. Watch your step on those icy driveways—maybe don't go skating on the Naugatuck River! Or Matthies Pond either.Over at the news desk, things are getting heavy. The SS United States is heading to Florida to become a funky coral reef. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and gold are dropping like a bad habit, but Sony is raking in the yen. Can you dig it? In China, Draco Malfoy is the new mascot for the Year of the Horse, and Saudi Arabia is handing out passports to camels!Back at the ranch, show some love to your school counselors. The puzzle challenge has everyone buggin'—1,000 pieces is a lot, man! Big props to the cheer squad for snagging third place at Wolcott. And look for those pyramids, tumbling, and jumps taking them straight into the upcoming competitions like the NVL championship on February 21st.Don't forget Senior Night for basketball. Keep those Chromebooks charged, bring in that PB&J for DECA, and stay groovy, Woodland
After shaking off Groundhog's Day the crew started debating whether the NFL should just move the Super Bowl to President's Day so everyone can sleep off their chili-induced comas. If you're stressed about the Patriots-Seahawks matchup, the hosts suggest watching the 2014 replay; spoiler alert: they'll still probably pass on the one-yard line.In news, Saudi Arabia is building solar farms with a confusing amount of "twos," and China has debuted a humanoid robot named Moya. Moya walks with 92% human accuracy—potentially beating out some of the hosts—though its "smile percentage" remains a mystery. Meanwhile, Firefox added an "AI-block" button for anyone tired of technology asking to "help" write eight-word texts.Local sports are dominated by the 15-0 boys' basketball team and a player whom Momma Manning describes as a "criminal" for his thieving defensive skills. If you're truly desperate for action, set your alarm for 4:05 AM to watch American curling against Norway. Just remember to charge your Chromebooks and bring your peanut butter jars for the donation drive

It's the "most Monday" Monday ever here in Woodland. Currently braving an 11-degree "heat wave" while worrying about frozen gutters,. We've even got a new mascot, Mikey the Microphone, who's looking very "Vegasy gold" but lacks a proper T-shirt for this "unrelenting winter"The main event, however, is the rodent-led meteorological civil war. It's Groundhog Day, a tradition rooted in German heritage where seemingly every small town has its own furry forecaster,. Punxsutawney Phil skipped his shadow and promised an early spring, a prediction shared by Shubenacadie Sam,. However, our local Connecticut hero, Chuckles, saw his shadow and demanded six more weeks of winter,. Since Phil only has a 50% hit rate, it's basically a coin toss whether we should keep our parkas on.While the groundhogs argue, our sports teams are actually winning; the Woodland boys are a perfect 14-0, and UConn is steamrolling rivals,. If the winter doesn't end, at least we have the advisory puzzle challenge—though we've been working on one puzzle for three weeks already,. Stay warm and charge those Chromebooks!.
Today, the crew investigates a frozen-tundra standoff between a school bus and a garbage truck, sparking the ultimate historical showdown: which specialized vehicle saved us from the Black Plague first?. It's Tuesday—officially the world's "eighth favorite" day—but don't despair!. It's an early dismissal, National School Counseling Week, and the PB&J drive has moved to a high-stakes, "ounce-based" scoring system to avoid further controversy. In global news, Italy is officially sick of your Instagram photos, while Elon Musk prepares to move your data into actual space.Finally, the sports desk hosts NVL and state champion dance captains and they're spilling the tea on an emotional senior night filled with "surreal" goodbyes and tear-jerking letters from their sisters. These legends credit Coach Davis for a total program glow-up, admitting the standards are so high now, they might not have even made the cut as freshmen. Whether they're channeling Michael Jackson in jazz or vibing to Tate McRae in hip-hop, these "Dancing in the Woods" MCs are ready to defend their titles at the NVL tournament on February 12th. Wake up with Woodland—because you never know when you'll need to out-dance a Blue Knight!
Woodland School District has been awarded a $600,000 Urgent Repair Grant to fund critical infrastructure projects, including fire alarm system upgrades at Woodland Middle School and roof replacement work at Columbia Elementary, following a previously unsuccessful application and renewed efforts by district leadership. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/woodland-school-district-secures-600000-grant-for-essential-repairs/ #Woodland #Education #SchoolSafety #PublicSchools #Washington

Irish Stew's latest “Off the Beaten Craic” adventure in County Leitrim discovers three new ways to slow down, tune in, and taste this corner of Ireland, through food, forest, and a gentle spin along the Jackalope Trail.First, we meet Malaysian‑born chef and restaurateur Sham Hanifa. At age 20 he answered an ad to work in Ireland, arriving in Carrick‑on‑Shannon jet‑lagged and short on money, but today he anchors the local food scene with The Cottage, My Kitchen, and Buffalo Boy, blending Irish ingredients with his Thai‑Chinese‑Indian‑Malay heritage.And he loves Irish Stew, though he was referring to the edible not the audio version.“What I say is Irish stew is comfort food, packed with flavor and a good‑hearted dish,” he explains, insisting he won't “mess around” with its unique Irish character even as he adds subtle Asian notes elsewhere on the menu. That respect for Irish produce interpreted with Asian flavors has turned Sham's Leitrim restaurants into dining destinationsThe episode moves next to the Drumhierny Woodland Hideaway, opened to guests in 2022 and featuring 11 self‑catering lodges tucked seamlessly into mature woodland. Sustainability, local partnerships, and wellbeing shape the experience, from an onsite café and private‑chef dinners to a sanctuary with seaweed baths, sauna, and cold plunge.“They arrive stressed on Friday, and when you meet them on a Sunday they're completely Zen, which I think is what we're all about,” says co-founder and marketing manager Alison Moffatt.The podcasters then roam towards Drumshanbo for a “slow adventure” on the Jackalope Trail with Eileen Gibbons of Electric Bike Trails. Inspired by seeing e-bikes on Ireland's Greenway network, Eileen and her husband Seamus created guided rides that trade speed for stories—linking canal-side cycling with local heritage and the wider tourism scene.“We take people along at a slow rate, stop along the way at interesting spots, all with a little bit of joke and a little bit of fun, and maybe even a bit of song,” she says.The Jackalope Trail leads to The Shed Distillery of PJ Rigney, distillers of Drumshanbo Whisky and Irish Gunpowder Gin, part of Co. Leitrim's innovative culinary incubator The Food Hub, both to be featured in the next and final episode of Irish Stew's “Off the Beaten Craic” series.LinksSham HanifaWebsiteFacebookYouTubeInstagramMy KitchenThe Cottage RestaurantDrumhierny Woodland HideawayWebsiteFacebookInstagramAlison Moffatt LinkedInElectric Bike TrailsWebsiteFacebookInstagramIrish Stew LinksWebsiteMedia Partner: IrishCentralTravel Partner: Tourism IrelandEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 4; Total Episode Count: 145

Can holistic grazing systems restore degraded hillsides and create profitable farms? How can local food systems and venison products revitalise struggling rural communities? Is it possible to farm with nature rather than against it and still make a living? These are the questions we explore in our conversation with John Duffy from Future Oak Farm, who returned to County Donegal after a career in oil and gas to transform his family's traditional sheep farm into a model of regenerative agriculture.John left Donegal at 17 because he couldn't see a future in traditional farming. After 16 years working in civil engineering, mining and oil and gas exploration across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, he returned home following an industry downturn and his father's death. What brought him back wasn't nostalgia but a vision for a different kind of agriculture. Inspired by Allan Savory's holistic management and the predator-prey dynamics he'd seen in David Attenborough documentaries, John began experimenting with bunched livestock grazing that mimics natural herbivore behaviour. The results transformed not just the land but the economic viability of hill farming in one of Ireland's most challenging landscapes.Our conversation covers habitat recovery, woodland regeneration, deer management and the creation of Wild & Co, John's venison product company that's building shorter supply chains and retaining more value in rural communities. We also discuss the fragility of long supply chains, the disconnect in Ireland's food system where 70% of consumed beef is imported despite producing enough to feed ourselves three times over and why John believes the innovation needed for Irish agriculture will come from the challenging farming conditions of the West of Ireland. John offers a practical vision for how farming can support both nature and thriving rural communities.Further reading:Wild & Co | Wild Irish Venison Protein SnacksFuture Oak FarmFuture Oak Farm | InstagramWild & Co | InstagramSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookThe guest featured in this episode paid a nominal guesting fee.

"What are the things that really might just make a difference that take us out of a conventional nature conservation headspace and start to really push the boundaries of what can be done?

Woodland habitat is something I have wanted to drill down into for many years now and Sweden is blessed with some truly wonderful forest habitat. After a great deal of careful thought and deliberation over the course of the winter, I eventually decided to drill down into the sounds of woodland over the course of early spring. A major field recording project was planned and executed as a result and it proved a truly magical experience. Tyresta National Park boasts one of the largest coniferous old-growth forests in southern Sweden and extends over a vast area of over 5,000 hectares. Stands of ancient Scots Pine dominate the high interior, some of the trees being aged at over 400 years old. Norwegian Spruce dominates the lower ground in the park, whilst deciduous tree species like Aspen, Birch, Beech and Alder also contribute to the diverse woodland. The ancient old growth woodland is an incredibly diverse habitat for all kinds of flora and fauna and it is filled with birds. In the spring of 2024 I simply lost myself along moss and lichen strewn trails in this wonderful forest, field recording all I came across. It was a truly a magical experience. The park is wonderfully quiet as a general rule and a sound recorders dream to work within. The first few weeks inside the park proved an unforgettable experience as it slowly revealed its secrets to me. By means of active and passive recording, I built up an wonderful library of recordings. In this episode, I share the beginnings of my experiences, during the early spring period at the park, in 2025.Leave a comment here....Support the showSubscibe to Wild Bird Acoustics here;https://wildbirdacoustics.buzzsprout.comLots more audio related material here at my long running website;https://blogbirder.blogspot.com/

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Bob shares a terrifying firsthand encounter that haunted him for over 50 years. In 1972 near Westerville, Ohio, a teenage walk along railroad tracks and wooded clearings turned into a life-altering nightmare when Bob came face to face with two massive Bigfoot-like beings.What began as a quiet nighttime trip quickly escalated when one creature stood upright in a clearing under a full moon—and another, far larger, charged from the woods, crashing through trees and paralleling Bob all the way back to the road. Bob describes the encounter as intelligent, intentional, and deeply aggressive, leaving him with lasting PTSD, fear of the woods, and decades of silence.Listener Disclaimer:This episode includes discussion of trauma, suicide, and suicidal thoughts.

Some big pennies are dropping this week. The biggest, probably, is the US disengagement from Ukraine. It's not just Ukrainians that are being given the heave-ho, it seems to be Europe as a whole.We also look at the big statement about energy for an independent Scotland and the promise of a third off bills. Is that realistic? of course, it actually is, but quite how would you get there? And does John Swinney have to spell it out? We analyise the nuclear consensus amongst Labour, Tory, and the Westminster parties. Why on earth are they so keen to have new nuclear plants in Scotland? We talk about Lord Malcolm Offord and his defection to Reform to stand for the Scottish Parliament. And we look at the Sandy Peggie verdict. Does anybody really see clearly what it means?The A'Chraobh Forest ProjectProducing a professional film from the footage will cost £600-£1000.The Spiral Forrest at Borgie in Sutherland is an attempt by descendants of the people cleared by the Duke of Sutherland from Strathnaver to have their say about the landscape. It's composed of the 18 trees native to Scotland which are also part of the unique Gàidhlig alphabet. Lesley planted the first tree in 2000 along with hundreds of school kids from North Sutherland and returned this weekend with organisers, some of those children now adults and their own children, to commemorate 25 years of a very different kind of woodland. She captured footage while she was there and is looking to raise some money to pay an editor.

Doug Wood is a West Virginia living historian portraying the life of the eastern woodland American Indians. After a reading about bear hunting & raccoon trapping with Mohawks in 1755, Doug describes how a historical trail project mixed with his own Cherokee ancestry got him interested in representing the lives of the various woodland Indians of the 18th-century. We begin on captive-taking practices and West Virginia being abandoned by the time of European arrival, yet remaining as a hunting ground for more northern tribes. Then we shoot right into the details of the hunting & trapping methods of these woodland Indians as described in historical first-hand accounts: excursions of 100s-of-miles for furs & skins; uses of bear grease; catching beavers before Europeans' metal traps; deer stalking in buck hides; fire rings; smoking bears out of dens; a Cherokee bear hunting song; dogs for the chase & for food; pet raccoons, parrots & a caged bear; eating box turtles & toads; bird snaring; and finally, Doug shares a childhood story about the Indian practice of fishing with black walnut hulls. Intermixed throughout are side tangents about: pictographs on trees as a way to relay information such as the outcome of a raid; buffalo in West Virginia; Doug's uncanny memories; and visiting significant historical places.
