Dirty Hands Podcast

These days, convenience and regulations often “win” over the sensibilities of using what you have and preserving the good stuff. In this episode, we talk to the maven of the heart of DeLand, Barb Shepherd. Not only is she the editor and publisher of the West Volusia Beacon newspaper, she has also used her vision and zeal to revitalize and re-energize the heartbeat of downtown. Listen to learn about how a single decision over ten years ago made a hundred year old space the social and commercial center of the future.

This week, we are joined by Lanni of the Greener Postures podcast to talk about her passion, fermentation for food preservation and ultimate healthy living. Fermenting is a great way to preserve an abundant harvest, to make foods more suitable for long term storage, to balance your gut biome for optimal health, and to reduce the effects of many allergens and other health conditions. If you’ve ever been curious about fermenting your own veggies and fruits, making yogurt, or brewing yummy drinks like kombucha or Kvass, then this is your gateway podcast. Give it a listen and get to know our fermentation guru! If there is a topic you want to hear about, or if you want to contribute, give us a shout.

Jesse is one badass chick. They say, "If you need something to get done, task a busy person to do it." That phrase embodies Jesse. After talking to Jesse, we wonder how she is able to do it all. She is a wife and mom that owns her own tattoo studio, homeschools her kids, leads a Bible study, and is awake to the craziness in this world. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did! You can find Jesse @laruetattoostudio and @jesserobinettetattooer on Instagram. If there is a topic you want to hear about, or if you want to contribute to the conversation, give us a shout.

We get down in the paint with DAAS, a public artist and muralist whose vibrant paintings inspire folks all over the world. We chat about the process of getting your hands dirty and making art that is bigger than life. You can find his art on IG @DAAS, on his website at www.artofdaas.com, or perhaps on the biggest wall or water tower in a city near you.

Don’t fret! In this week’s episode, we chat with music maker and guitarist, Brett Thompson. We riff about musical influences, the nature of song-writing in a virtual world, raw talent vs. disciplined efforts, cultivating musical genius, and a variety of other topics.
