August 21, 2024: Aflame with well-fed spirits

 Today, we're traversing Franklin county to nourish the body and spirit.  Lake Pleasant started as a summer retreat for like minded and curious spiritualists, and has grown into a quiet but resilient community while retaining some truly unique locations. We’ll visit their sites and hear their history as they get ready for their 150th commemoration festivities this Saturday with Mary Bordeaux and David James, two residents of the areaPlus we head across the bridge to Greenfield to Stone Soup Cafe who’ll host their Harvest Supper on August 24th. This annual event has become a tradition for Franklin County, and we talk with Board director Whitney Robbins and Executive Director and Chef Kirsten Levitt about how the idea to just feed the people with no strings right in the downtown commons came about, and what new things folx can engage with at this years dinnerAlso word nerd Emily Brewster, senior editor at Merriam Webster, is igniting a pursuit for clarity between the words flammable and inflammable that may just be flammatory.
