May 13, 2025: The clouds, the wood, the witches.

Today is fluffy and textured and a little afraid of us because sheep scare easily. We’re in Buckland to talk with folx at Walking Cloud Farm about the upcoming MA Sheep and Woolcraft Festival. What started as a 4H event to encourage youth in sheep raising has grown over the past almost 50 years to encompass that and much more. From spinning, to shearing to herding, we chat with farm owner Marty Ferguson, and festival organizers Barbara Goodchild and Lonnie York about the legacy and importance of Sheep as an agricultural crop, and the festival in helping to maintain that. And from across the border JayWood stops by the studio before the sold out tUnE-yArDs show at the Iron horse he’s opening for this evening. We’ve been excited about getting his band into our space since our chat with him a few weeks ago and are eager to share a glimpse of his sound with those who were not quite quick enough to snag a ticket. Plus did you know that Springfield was one of the sparks that ignited the witch trials across the Massachusetts Bay Colonies long before Salem picked up their torches? We head to Springfield Museums to get a sneak peak of their brand new exhibit highlighting the incident with curator of history Elizabeth Kapp: "Witch Panic!".
