Description

It’s cold outside, but the cows are warm and we’ll head out to Ludlow to explore a farm that’s seen 5 generations of family stewardship. Bud Ellison of Ellison Farm was given a mission in his youth and he’s kept that and his cattle as local as possible, we’ll hear more about his process, and his farm’s ties to family and community. 

We’ll also meet Ricky McKinnie of the Blind Boys of Alabama, currently the longest tenured member of the band, who’ll talk about the group’s legacy, its advocacy, and its depth before you can see them perform holiday classics at the Hope Center for the Arts this Saturday Dec. 20. 

Plus just because hanging out with everyone in the holidays is fun for you doesn’t necessarily mean that it is for everyone in your life. So we welcome Janice Chaka, celebrated introvert interpreter, back to our studios to talk about her podcast and give some tips to fellow introverts, and the extroverts that love them, about surviving seasonal gatherings.
