2017 Throwback--
A Chat with Morgan Beaty on what life is like transitioning from a 4-H member (and child of an Extension Agent/Region Specialist) to being an Extension Agent as an adult.

Throwback to 2017! We talk with some--then-- 4-H members and ask what they think their Extension Agent does....

The results are glorious in every way!

Dr. Katie Conrad shares tips and strategies for coping.

Meagen and I set out to lighten the mood of society as it is today. We discussed our favorite topic: Sports. Well, the lack thereof right now. Sports unify us. They bring about camaraderie. They give us a past time to engage in that is not life and death thus in the grand scheme it doesn't matter...but it does matter. When will they come back? Your guess is as good as ours! We also provide recommendations for things to watch "during everything going on right now."

We talk with Dr. Chris Sneed of UT Extension Family and Consumer Sciences. Dr. Sneed is a Consumer Economics Specialist. We intended to talk about supporting small business, but in a true Extension fashion...we saved the world and every financial fallout occurring in the world "because of everything going on right now."

First time for everything! We hosted a podcast with a live studio audience at the Tennessee Extension Association for Family and Consumer Sciences state meeting. In our breakout session, we had our audience participate in the podcast with us!

We start a conversation based on the Nov. 16 2017 Tweet Up from the #EdTechLN based around mentoring and working with traditional methods and emerging technology. We also count down our favorite Christmas movies!

Lynne and Justin discuss professional associations from her experience in 4-H associations. Lynne provides her perspective as a 4-H agent from what we like to call the "mid-career" folks. We dig into some sticky waters, but really only dig deeper into talking points.
