Live on Charlotte Talks Thursday

For those interested in such things, I'll be on the local NPR affiliate (WFAE, 90.7 FM) this Thursday morning at 9am (with a taped 9pm re-broadcast on the same station) with Dr. Margaret Houlihan. The show is Charlotte Talks and Meg and I will be talking about "Nature Deficit Disorder," why kids should be spending more time outside, and offering suggestions for parents/teachers to accomplish this. Also, Jen Taylor, founder of Mountain Sprouts will also be calling into the show to participate.

You can stream the program live here: http://wfae.org/wfae/stat_listenwfae.cfm

And the programs are typically available for podcast download a day or so after they air. You can find the podcasts here, which re-directs you to the itunes music store (the podcasts are free.)

Clearly, there is a relationship between local, sustainable farming & a general appreciation for being outside & understanding the natural world around us.
