078 - Fake Meat

The industrialized food industry has discovered that a growing number of people are hungry for meat alternatives.  Everyone from fast food restaurants to mega grocery stores are rolling out their meat alternatives. 

But are these fake meat products healthy (as claimed)?  Just what is in this stuff?  Join Annie and Jay Warmke as they discuss the evolving world of fake meat - coming to a grocery store near you.

077 - Who Revived the Electric Car?

One hundred years ago the world changed - transitioning from the horse and buggy to the automobile.  Most of the cars in that age were electric, relying on big bulky batteries for power.  Henry Ford and Charles Kettering doomed those early electrics (you will have to listen to find out how).  General Motors revived it in the 1990's, then killed it again.  But from the ashes emerged products like the Prius, and companies like Tesla.  Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station discuss how this time around everything is different - and how the electric car will change our society in ways as profound as the horseless carriage did 100 years ago.

076 - Changing our Relationship with the Land

Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station are joined by Chad Cully, horticulturist at the Cincinnati Zoo's botanical gardens, in a discussion of how society must change our definitions of what is private land, what is public land, and who makes decisions on how each is governed.  We are getting a bit more crowded, so a conversation must take place between farmers, city dwellers, industry, recreation - basically let's all act like adults and understand that what we do on our "private property" affects the larger world as a whole.  But that the owner's needs must also be considered when regulating land use.  Hopefully we will see a new form of Agri-Forestry emerge that will assist in sustainable development well into this century.

075 - Where have all the Birds Gone?

Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station are joined by Dawn Hewett, editor of Bird Watcher's Digest, in a discussion of the impacts of global warming and our non-sustainable lifestyle is having on the bird population. Since 1970 more than 3 billion birds have disappeared from our modern day version of nature.  What is happening, what does it mean, and how can we minimize the impact on our planet?
