Paca Talk #22 - Farm Talk -- Problem Child [29:47m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This is our first “Evergreen Terrace Farm Talk” segment in the new format!

Today’s topic is our “problem child” Marge Simpson (Little Margie until she out grows the name). Her mom, Lisa, is a first-time mother, and so had a really tough time learning how to nurse her baby. The podcast lists our efforts.

More details can be found on our Evergreen Terrace Farm blog, at: http://et-farmsalpaca.blogspot.com/search/label/Lisa

Below are pictures and links to the alpacas we mentioned in the podcast.

 Paca Talk #21 - New Format [8:58m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Welcome to Paca Talk, the podcast for alpaca people by alpaca people. This is Episode 21: “The New Format.”

The New Format

Here’s the skinny: we could only produce our original 45-minute, multi-segmented behemoth of a podcast once every six weeks or so. We COULD produce a weekly 5-10 minute alpaca newscast weekly over the summer, but not now since school has started (Maren and Charles both teach at a university).

This has led us to change Paca Talk’s format. We aim to produce shorter episodes twice a month. The episodes will be comprised of the same segments, but not all at the same time.

Segments will include:

• Farm Basics
• Evergreen Terrace Farm Talk
• Alpacas in the News — though we’re limiting ourselves to the “quirky” items
• Main Topic — which will be split into “Interviews” and “Alpaca 101″

Our first new format episode should be on its way very soon! Thanks for listening, and keep on humming!
