Today, we have music to soothe the dairy beast.

Which may not be how that phrase works; but we’re betting it could work at Fletcher Farm, in Southampton, where their cows and calves are not only bringing milk to the community, but fostering connection and learning amongst those who may one day also lead their own herds. 2nd generation farmer Nicole Schwab lets us explore among her 80 heads of milking ladies. 

But if you’re craving more of a cow-less get down, we’ll introduce you to a new series about to launch in Northampton. Parties in the Park is a free to the community gathering bringing some of the best and most eclectic DJs in the area to spin for the public, and we sit with Just Joan (Casey Williams) and Studebaker Hawk, two of the folx stepping up to the turntables to hear war stories and what’s in store for Wednesdays. 

And Susan Bronson of the Yiddish Book Center joins us to talk about their upcoming festival: Yidstock, which celebrates Yiddish music and the innovators making new sounds under a cultural marker over the course of 4 days
