  • E211: LCSWMA, The Great Green Secret of Lancaster County
    Apr 16 2026
    04/14/2026 LCSWMA: The Great Green Secret of Lancaster County Host: Carol MacAllister Guest: Michelle Brown, LCSWMA, Energy and Commodity Manager. Have you ever wondered what happens to your trash here at Willow Valley? Why can’t we recycle everything? Why do we have to separate our recyclables, and what happens to them once they are picked up by our commercial hauler? In today’s Open podcast (meaning it was open to the public to watch), you will discover what happens to everything we toss out, from the smallest tissues to the largest construction waste. And yes, we talk recycling: what determines what can be recycled and what happens to it. Our guest is Michelle Brown, LCSWMA’s Energy and Commodity Manager. We covered everything LCSWMA does, why it is one of the best operations of its kind in the nation, and how it manages to be fully self-supporting (no tax dollars!).

  • E209: The Real Fountain of Youth Might Be Your Social Circle
    Apr 2 2026
    Hosts: Dale Johnson and Maggie Stauffer Guests: Taylor Blackwell and Heather Nelson This episode explores the critical link between socialization and longevity through various scientific lenses. The hosts discuss a Brigham Young University study highlighting social integration as the primary predictor of a long life, even surpassing exercise or diet. They also examine the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which concludes that strong, warm relationships are more vital to health and happiness than wealth or fame. Additionally, a resident social worker presents data showing that continuing care retirement communities significantly reduce frailty and hospitalizations by fostering these essential connections. Finally, the program highlights how structured activities like clubs, communal dining, and concerts create an environment that combats isolation and supports long-term well-being.
