July 6, 2026: Organisms great and small

In the northern Berkshires, Many Forks Farm changed hands a few years ago, but that’s provided them with the opportunity to get themselves even more involved in the local community, and other organizations. We head to Clarksburg where there are no trains, but farmer Molly Comstock tells us of her journey through photography to get to agriculture and the innovative way the land is being preserved for farmers to come. Just next door, is a young city that's spawned legends in its own right, not the least of which is the Coca Cola Monster. Cryptids aside, the book North Adams Panopticon refocuses the infamous ledge and leads the reader through many incidents and occurrences that have happened on its precipice. We speak with author John Seven about his interest in the local urban legends, and more. And Mr. Universe, Kainaat Studios' Salman Hameed, shows us the many places where the building blocks of life have been found terrestrially and celestially, and how looking further into those origins might be more difficult with changes to grant review in the NSF.
