    Episode 29: Exploring Pleasant Valley Farm and Echo Creek Farm in New York State
    2025/01/16
    Paul Arnold's interest in farming started in his 20s as an experiment in his father's backyard. "In 1986 when I decided to farm, I farmed in [my dad's] backyard to see if I really liked it," said Paul in a 2013 farm tour. "I worked for another farmer for one summer. And then started looking for land and found the land that we’re going to walk to. And that was in 1988. We bought it. It was just a cornfield and some hayland." Paul and his wife Sandy have been running Pleasant Valley Farm since the early 1990s. It is located near the village of Argyle, New York, about a one-hour drive north of the state capital, Albany. Since then, the Arnolds have mentored a number of others interested in farming and continue to farm themselves growing "a range of over 40 types of vegetables and fruits year-round," according to their website. In Episode 29 of Station to Station with Joe Pavia, Exploring Pleasant Valley Farm & Echo Creek Farm in New York State, the Arnolds and one of the people they mentored, Michael Palulis will share their agricultural journey.

    Author and storyteller Robert Munsch released what would become his multi-million selling children’s book Love You Forever in 1986. It was the 11th book Munsch had published, and it was a drastic change from his silly stories that made kids and their parents laugh. I was a first year college student when I conducted the interview with Munsch at his home in Guelph. Visit my website www.joepavia.com to read more about this interview and check out the photo.

    Episode 23-Celia McBride
    2019/05/19
    Celia McBride is a Canadian playwright born in the Yukon and currently living in Port Hope, Ontario. She was the only female playwright to have her one-act play, Walk Right Up, performed at the inaugural season of the Stratford Festival’s newest venue, the Studio Theatre, in 2002. That play tells the story of the three adult children from the fictional Ruskin family, who need to make decisions about caring for their elderly parents. I first interviewed Celia McBride in the summer of 2002 after seeing the play. We catch up 17 years later and discuss other artistic projects she’s undertaken in the interim, as well as her latest writing project, a spiritual memoir. Photos, programs and the 2002 interview can be seen and hear at my website: www.joepavia.com

    Episode 22-Panic/Anxiety/Agoraphobia
    2018/12/09
    My friend needed to talk! They needed to explain the reasons why we hadn’t seen much of each other and why, when we did agree to get together for drinks or dinner, there would be a cancellation at the last minute. For years, they explained they experienced panic and anxiety attacks which would physically paralyze them. Their story inspired me to do my own research and produce a radio feature on the topic for a news magazine show I contributed to called CJEZ Newsweek.
