Isaiah (DJ Zeek) curates a great bonus episode. But Josh and Rosie have to talk a little bit about parenting first... 

Isaiah doesn't have a twitter account, but be ready for it when it comes...

There are breadlines in America. Stores are hiring more armed guards. Prices are rising. People are going hungry as the "Greater Depression" is unfolding. Farms are plowing food under because restaurants won't buy. Meat processing plants are COVID-19 hotbeds. The food system is fragile and eroding like the topsoil it has squandered. 

Marjory and Tim fall in love. The land is the matchmaker. Marjory is a biodynamic farmer and she knows how to grow food, save seed, and give plants away.  When the pandemic hit, the interest in Permaculture and the Agrarian Sharing Network has skyrocketed. Lots of people want to know to garden... for good reason. 

Find produce from Singing Creek Farm at the Farmers Market in downtown Cottage Grove 4-7pm.

Corrine Kalesse is a devoted doula in the greater Cottage Grove area and her work is changing in the time of COVID. Hospitals are not as hospitable, and the centuries long struggle over reproduction continues. If we are not returning to normal--and we are not--then we have to consider every aspect of life. A wise man once said that "he not busy being born is busy dying," but it seems that that nobel laureate may not have considered the role of the doula who is busy supporting birth. 

Josh opens with a slew of random remarks including the outrageous claim that 1/3 of humanity now listens to this podcast. He took great effort to constrain himself from busting out in a full fledged historical lecture. A few minutes, however, suffice to cover the history of reproduction from the Black Plague to the early modern period. For more information, please read "Caliban and the Witch" by Silvia Federici (do look her up on youtube). In any case, enjoy, and don't forget to give feedback somehow. We're desperately insecure and want to know what you think.

Scott Burgwin was instrumental in Stand For Peace for about a decade (2002-2012). He is now been running the Coast Fork Farm Stand for a decade. (2009-2020). In this episode Josh chats with Scott about the latest at one of the few spaces open that still gets regular customers. His community-oriented business is a hub for many people and with the pandemic its importance has only grown. 

If you don't think your greengrocer is important, consider that the Arab Spring started when a fruit seller set himself ablaze in Tunisia. And consider that Vaclav Havel - the Czech dissident whose "Power to the Powerless"  offered the clearest anti-totalitarian stand of the era leading up to the fall of the USSR - put special emphasis on the greengrocer.
