Podcast going on hiatus

Hi folks! I wanted to let everyone know that my podcast will be going on hiatus until Spring 2022. I recorded a little message about why I'm taking a break, and also took the time to recommend some podcasts to listen to during my absence. You can listen in on Podbean for that.

The short version is that I'm completely mentally exhausted and just need a proper break where I'm not doing research or book reviews or working toward episode deadlines. I don't want my podcast to become another chore and so I am taking this opportunity to step back and really unwind until next year. We're also going into the time of year (winter) when things slow down here on the homestead, and I am planning to hermit with my puppies and husband.

I wanted to offer some recommendations for things to listen to, should you miss my homestead and beekeeping chatter!

First, here are some of my favourite/topical episodes:

• Ep 5: Preparing Hives for Winter

• Ep 10: Honeybee Races

• Ep 13: Edible Gardens Part 1

• Ep 19: ‘The Lives of Bees’ first 2 chapters

• Ep 27: John Swan Interview

• Ep 35: Honeybee Democracy, Chapter 1

My favourite beekeeping podcasts:

• The Hive Jive

• Beekeeper Confidential

• Beekeeping Today Podcast

• Pollination by Oregon State University Extension service

Homestead/Farm Podcasts:

• We Drink Things and we Farm Things

• Point of Origin (culture of food)

Funny/Feel Good Podcasts:

• Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet

• Wildly Tarot

I hope you find something you love in that list! I'll be back in Spring 2022, hopefully refreshed and with lots of new content to share. Wishing you all a safe and happy winter season!
