#018 - The Trash Talk
Archeologists say they can determine quite a bit about a society based on the trash they left behind. What would our trash say about us? For most of history, “trash” would have been animal bones, hides, pottery, glass, wood, but within the last 100 years, our trash has evolved significantly. Despite this change, we often take out our trash and never think of it again. Yet, the trash doesn’t just go away. In this episode, we discuss the rise of the trash problem as well as its implications for society. We talk about consumption within society, the growing landfills, and the responsibility of the consumers and corporations. We also discuss composting and how we have ways to take our waste and create something new and beneficial for the planet.

#015- Cultural Residue
Do you own your culture? Or does your culture own you? I have always been curious about the line between cultural characteristics and genuine persona. Where does your culture stop and the individual start? In this episode, we explore the way cultures around the world modify their bodies to participate and play a role within their culture. We then turn the lens onto our own post-internet culture to see the parallels and contradictions.
If you would like to get more involved with us, you can follow us on instagram at The Cearley Cultivation, Dexter, Shannon. Or check out our website here. If you are interested in beef or embryos, check out Biar Beef Cattle.

#014-Master of Linguistics
This episode was years in the making. Shannon has been in graduate school at Texas Tech for the last 5 years, and she is now officially finished. She has been an inspiration to me through this process, and I couldn’t be more proud. For this episode, we really just wanted to talk about her experience in school and explore the world of linguistics. Shannon nerds out about topics such as linguistic hegemony, the wug test, and optimality theory. Consider this a toe dip into the vast ocean of Linguistics. We’re sure there will be more in-depth episodes over these topics in the future, but for now, consider this a teaser.

#013-Metrics
This episode is following up on some concepts introduced in the last episode, The Zero. When people talk about metrics, it’s usually used to discuss something quantifiable…things like money or data. What if we instead applied it to other, less-quantifiable things as well - things like happiness or time well spent. Shannon and I explore how metric and data collection, when applied outside of the normal metrics, can reveal aspects about ourselves that are often hidden from view. Join us in rethinking some of the metrics around us as we head into 2023!
Thank you for the support over the past few years, we launched this podcast at possibly the worst time for us with living situation and life responsibilities, However… we are now ready to pursue The D_program Podcast with the enthusiasm that it, and you, deserve. We have goals for this next year which include more consistent content!

The family in front of our new house
#010- The Four Pillars of Cearley Cultivation
We recently started a new instagram account following our family’s move to the farm and quickly realized how little we knew about growing an account. We googled and clicked and learned about the vast world of instagramming. Our biggest takeaway was that we needed “pillars.” In the instagram world, what is it that we will be posting? As we’ve thought about this question, it became an interesting challenge to try to define ourselves. Thus, this episode was born! In this episode, we lay out the driving principles which inspired this show and how these pillars relate to our newfound farm life. This is the last episode of 2021 and stands as a road map for where we hope to go in 2022. We hope to see you there!
