Joel Salatin, co-owner of Polyface Farm, discussed with me the importance of a healthy and clean farm environment, how the farm environment affects food production, and how to take baby steps in eating cleaner food. I honestly learned so much from this interview regarding meat production, and highly recommend giving it a watch if you are considering alternatives to buying meat and dairy products from the grocery store.

I spoke with Jean Bizimana about growing up as an orphan in Rwanda as a result of the Rwandan genocide. We also discussed how he chose his name, how orphans are cared for now in Rwanda, as well as his project of discovering motherhood through conversations with Rwandan mothers. 

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce came into the public eye in 2022 when she was arrested in the UK for praying silently outside an abortion clinic. Isabel was arrested again for the same "offense"  a few months later in March of 2023. The case against Isabel was eventually dropped in September of 2023. Isabel continues to pray and advocate for women experiencing an unplanned preganancy.

I have researched more regarding Terri Schiavo's story since my interview with Terri's brother, Bobby Schindler, last month. My interest, as well as my compassion, for this family and their ordeal has grown since learning more about Terri's end of life case. Again, I would encourage listeners to do their own research on Terri's story, as well as listen to the Lawless postcast from WORLD.

I was blessed to be able to speak with Terri's sister, Suzanne, this month to hear her perspective and thoughts.

I really enjoyed speaking with journalist and documentary filmmaker, Sonya Winterberg. We discussed journalism, her research on Auschwitz's Block 10, and her passion to share the stories of those who are oppressed in society. Sonya's work focuses on telling the stories of history's most vulnerable, specifically women and children. If you are interested in exploring Sonya's work, I would encourage you to check out her book "The Wolf Children of the Eastern Front."

Danny Bonaduce was kind enough to give me his last PR slot as he has retired from the acting and radio industry. I grew up watching Danny Bonaduce on the Partridge Family. Danny talked with me about his past struggle with drugs, the entertainment industry, and how he wants to die.

I really enjoyed getting to speak with musical composer, Paul Smith. He co-founded VOCES8, as well as created the VOCES8 Method, which provides material for the advancement of music education in school. Paul spoke to me about his childhood exposure to chorale music at Westminster Abbey, his love of chorale music, and his creation of the VOCES8 Method.

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with Dean Gregory regarding his daughter's life and death legal battle with UK health officials. Dean shared with me his feelings during this grievous time, as well as his perspective on his daughter's final moments in hospice. I am also including this link to listen to Dean's eulogy for his daughter recorded at her funeral on December 1, 2023. 

"Meyta" means purpose. Meyta shared with me his desire to use his musical abilities to help others know their meaning in life. He wants his work to impact others. I discussed with Meyta his experience of finding purpose in his own life a couple years ago, as well as the ups and downs of being a content creator.
