Show no. 141 is up! Had lots of fun with this one yesterday. Barbara Sarah is a joy to be around and a reminder to everyone to make the most of each moment, enjoy life and to practice gratitude for it ALL. We learn about her life, from singing for war bonds in the 1940’s to contemplating and embracing death. She’ll be singing once again at the Circle of Friends for the Dying event, Calling Our Ancestors, on October 25th in Academy Green Park.

83 years young, Barbara Sarah, has brought a lot of goodness to the world and shows no signs of slowing down. Following a breast cancer diagnosis in 1992, she left a 20-year career as a school social worker on Long Island and chose to dedicate herself to work in oncology. Founder of the Oncology Support Program at HealthAlliance Hospital in Kingston, she is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NY State Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers and the NY State Governor’s Award for Innovation in Breast Cancer Education. She's a Co-founder of Circle of Friends for the Dying, which both sponsors “death cafés,” which consist of people sitting around talking about living, death and dying, and is in the process of renovating a Home for the Dying as an alternative to the hospital or a nursing home. For 25 years she has been an instructor of Morita and Naikan therapies, Buddhist-based strategies for mental wellness. She's part of the organizing team responsible for Calling Our Ancestors, an event taking place in Academy Green Park in Kingston on October 25th from 2-4pm. ✨ You know the drill... tune in today from 1-3 on @radiokingstonny or catch it later on the pod 🎧 #deathcafe #circleoffriendsforthedying #oncology #breastcancer #oncologysupport #socialworker #theater #morita #naikan #wellness #ancestors #senior #iwantwhatshehas #herstory

Show no. 140 is up! And the website is working again too 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Leslie Woodward of @edenesquenutmilks is working hard to marry capitalism with altruism by doing business differently. Let’s support her and others like her to show that people matter just as much if not more than the bottom line. Thanks for taking risks Leslie and being a model of compassion and care in the business world 🙏🏽 can’t wait to see all that you create! #nutmilk #cleanfood #wholefood #nutrition #disease #altruism #eatlocal #oatmilk #blackwalnutmilk #hempmilk #entrepeneur #chef #leader #herstory #iwantwhatshehas #podcast #radio #hudsonvalley

TODAY!!! On the show 🙌🏾 Chef Leslie Woodward, CEO/Creator of Edenesque, @edenesquenutmilks has been passionate about clean eating, local and seasonal foods for over 20 years. Her belief is that most diseases are connected and caused by the foods we eat or do not eat. On her journey, Leslie wanted to understand nutritional diseases in communities of color and began to unpack the common arguments that are claimed to be the causes for such high diagnosis of nutrient deficient diseases within said communities and beyond. Her work has culminated in Edenesque, a nutmilk company which strives to be supportive and provide opportunities to those that are institutionally underserved in our community. I am excited to tell #herstory !! #nutmilk #altruism #chef #entrepeneur #nutrition #cleaneating #localfood #diseaseprevention #seasonaleating #selfcare #iwantwhatshehas #talkradio #podcast #hudsonvalley #radiokingston

So the past week, I’ve been thwarted by tech challenges. First my internet crashed during the show and then my website won’t load the most recent episode. Still dealing with the plugin support peeps for that, but the show (no.139) is up in all the places it needs to be other than my website 🤣 so you can listen now before the next show airs! I loved speaking with Helen Zuman. She’s a brilliant writer and a truly courageous woman who’s survived not only a cult but multiple sexual assaults and several trips hitchhiking across the country. Check out her memoir, “Mating in Captivity” and other deep nuggets of wisdom on her blog. You’ll have to find her there via the show notes as she’s not on social media, yes, you heard me correctly friends. #writer #environmentalist #ecovillage #cultsurvivor #cult #survivor #courage #thoughtleader #herstory #iwantwhatshehas

TODAY on the show! Helen Zuman is the author of Mating in Captivity (She Writes Press 2018), a memoir of her five years, post-Harvard, in a cult with a radical take on sex and relationships. “When recent Harvard grad Helen Zuman moved to Zendik Farm in 1999, she was thrilled to discover that the Zendiks used go-betweens to arrange sexual assignations, or ‘dates,’ in cozy shacks just big enough for a double bed and a nightstand. Here, it seemed, she could learn an honest version of the mating dance – and form a union free of ‘Deathculture’ lies. No one spoke the truth: Arol, the Farm’s matriarch, crushed any love that threatened her hold on her followers’ hearts. An intimate look at a transformative cult journey, Mating in Captivity shows how stories can trap us and free us, how miracles rise out of crisis, how coercion feeds on forsaken self-trust.” Her memoir received a starred review from Kirkus, was named a Kirkus Best Indie Memoir of 2018, was a finalist in Creative Nonfiction for the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses’ 2019 Firecracker Award, and was both first runner-up in memoir and a finalist for First Horizon and Grand Prize honors in the 2020 Eric Hoffer Awards. Other work has appeared in The New Farmers Almanac, in Communities and Livelihood magazines, and on the Foundation for Intentional Community’s website (ic.org). Born in London and raised in Brooklyn, she currently homesteads with her husband in Beacon, New York. 🎧 Tune in from 1-3 today on @radiokingstonny or anytime on the pod.

For this week’s show no. 136, I share some of the research I’ve been doing to better understand gentrification and its effects upon our communities. Kingston and the Hudson Valley are being greatly impacted by it right now. What can we do? Really it seems like we should be working together to make sure folks aren’t displaced. That can take many shapes, but it starts with caring and learning how to help. Want to get involved? You can join, support and follow the @thereal_kingstontenantsunion and their work to help folks with housing security. We need to work on this as a community. We all play a roll in it! #gentrification #displacement #housingsecurity #community #transformativecities

Hey all you curious cats! @keikosono is back this

Hey all you curious cats! @keikosono is back this week to go deep on the subject of Universal Basic Income. It’s not a subject I am an expert in so I’ve got lots of questions for her, like how do we pay for it? Now that many of us experienced a similar distribution with the stimulus payment, how did it effect us? Was it helpful in a meaningful way? What if that happened every month? I mean who can say no, but not everyone is saying yes to this, so let’s talk about why! We’ll be taking calls live this Wednesday from 2-3 eastern. And the number to dial is 845-331-1490. Or feel free to message or comment below any thoughts, concerns or questions that come up for you! #ubi #universalbasicincome

Check it out ✌🏽 show is up, link in bio. @jaguarmaryx host of Midnight Medicine Journey, a show that was birthed as a mash-up of recitations and discussions about science-fiction books by people of color, interviews with local and global artists, plant healers, spiritual visionaries, and medicine people with featured music from around the world. It continues to evolve as JMX expands and expounds about afro-futurism, ancestors, spirit-infused ritual practice, queerness and mysticism. JMX identifies as a performance artist, a medicine woman, an elder, a fairy being, a hooper, a buddhist, all gender or non-gender, and down for discussing the movement away from the punitive justice system. During the show we get to learn a little about JMX’s upbringing and deep dive into Buddhism at an early age which included hours of chanting mantra which led to some sharing of wisdom on language, decipherability, thought processes, and neurological rewiring. JMX shares their love of mugwort, how they use it in incense and ritual. Speaking of, you can purchase the magical stuff that JMX makes via artemisianegra.com. In the vein of mugwort and ritual, we talk self care and one of JMX’s favorite Midnight Medicine Journey shows on Nap Ministry and rest as resistance. There’s more, but you’ll have to tune in to find out. You can catch all the archives of MMJ - oh my gosh, that’s also the acronym of one of my fave bands too - over at @radiokingstonny 😘 #midnightmedicinejourney #medicinewoman #elder #fairy #performanceartist #hooper #buddhist #buddhism #mantra #chanting #mugwort #ritual #incense #anger #desire #ancestors #wisdom #restasresistance #selfcare #radiohost #dj #compassion #iwantwhatshehas
