I was just reading an Uncle Eric book and it mentioned viewpoints I had never even heard of about WWII, and I'm an avid reader. It was an excellent reminder to read a wide variety of books and go back to original works as much as possible!
Well done Ronnie! I've been looking forward to this podcast! Chicken nerds forever 😉 And if anybody listening to this podcast has more chicken questions I'd be happy to answer them!
I hadn't heard of victory gardens before, but I do know that the government was encouraging people to raise meat rabbits in their homes during WWII. You can look up old flyers from that time. Last spring during the big bird flu "pandemic" (Avian Influenza) people were asked (not required) to report if they were raising chickens so they could get influenza updates for their current area. Can you imagine giving the government a list of all the more self sustainable people in the area? Scary! I don't, however, know how many actually took up the offer. I heard that if there was a certain amount of cases in your area they would come and forcefully eradicate your flock, meaning they would kill them and leave you to manage the bodies (most people threw them in the dump, which couldn't have been very helpful). However, I didn't hear any first hand accounts of this happening.
The author Ronni was talking about at the end is Jennifer A. Nielsen. When I was younger I gobbled up her fantasy and fiction books, and it was her historical fictions "A Night Divided" (Berlin wall), "Resistance" (WWII), and "Words On Fire" (Germans invading Lithuania) that got me excited about history and nonfiction! Her newest is "Lines Of Courage" about WWI and it taught me so much about this not well known time period! I believe "Iceberg" (about the Titanic) is about to come out...
I read the illustrated classics The Merry Adventures Of Robin Hood when I was very young, and it sparked a passion in my that I still have! Now I read every retelling I can get my hands on!
awesome
The Power Of TED (The Empowerment Dynamic) is a great book about how to overcome the victim mentality!
I heard from one place that there are three types of people: Dreamers, Doers, and those who have mastered both!
great episode
I really love the podcast and the concepts it teaches. The only issue is that I like to listen more than my kids do. I think a couple tweaks would make it a lot more enjoyable for them to listen. I would love it if the subject was introduced a little better. My kids kind of have a hard time following what it's talking about. I think a longer intro would be helpful. The other issue is that Connor's audio seems quieter and at times a little muffled. I know it's still new so I'm hoping to see these slight changes so my kids will be more interested in listening.
