English will have two books out next year on food preservation and chickens, part of a series entitled "Homemade Living," (Lark Books). She also has a weekly column every Friday on Design*Sponge at www.designspongeonline.com/category/small-measures. In the second part of the show we talk to Wing Tam, assistant division manager for the Watershed Protection Program in the City of Los Angeles' Bureau of Sanitation about a new rainwater harvesting pilot project. You can find out more about the program at www.larainwaterharvesting.org. We conclude with a reaction to this new program from river activist Joe Linton, author of Down by the Los Angeles River and one of the bloggers behind lacreekfreak.wordpress.com. As we say on the podcast, we prefer gardening to staring at computer screens and putting a podcast together involves a hell of a lot of the latter. Don't look for frequent updates, but we'll put out another one later this year. Please excuse the mike popping and other technical flaws, as we're still working out the technical side of podcasting. Music on the program is from archive.org: A bluegrass cover of DEVO's Mongoloid, recorded in 1980 in Cleveland, Ohio by the Hotfoot Quartet. Bob Frank, guitar and lead vocal, Jim Blum, upright bass and vocals; Paul Kovac, banjo and vocals; Bob Smakula, mandolin and vocals. Available here. Also from archive.org, a collection of surf music.
