Filed under: Podcast, Weather, Garden — andrew at 8:20 pm on Sunday, July 8, 2007

Remember the next show is number 75 and that means it’s the listener question show. Just like show 55 and 65 we want you to call 206-202-GOAT with your questions and comments and then we’ll make the entire show based on calls we got. So please call!!

This week we start out with a special guest who dropped into to the studio with us. Then we gripe about the weather and then look at what’s going on with the garden, what’s doing well, what isn’t, and second crops of certain things. This week:

  • Special guest and intro
  • Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT, 2 great calls
  • Round up: Milk good, dry bad

Barncast 52 — Something cheesy

Filed under: Podcast, Spinning, Weather, Knitting, Cheese, Astronomy — andrew at 8:15 pm on Saturday, February 3, 2007

We haven’t been blown away, yet. That strange noise in the background is the wind. Yes, I mic’ed the window. It’s cold so we stayed inside and did the podcast from the sofa. We wander a bit, but overall for a mid winter cast it came out ok!

In this weeks show:

  • Thank you to Tom
  • The Weather
  • Farm Phone, Misty’s in trouble with Gabe again. 206-202-GOAT
  • Astronomy
  • Round up! It’s cold!
  • Farm Section: It’s all about cheese. This week it’s just a very light overview, more depth latter
  • Life Section: spinning and sweaters

Please leave us a comment or call the Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT!
