Digging In The Dirt with Kevin Gallagher
“Digging in the Dirt” is a podcast and radio show featured on WPKN (wpkn.org) with climate change experts and activists, promoting organic and regenerative farming techniques, showing the way to grow healthier food in a way that respects the planet’s health. In addition to nationally known movers and shakers in this niche, Kevin loves to feature food authors, local farmers and gardeners pushing the envelope by encouraging us to take personal responsibility, as consumers and gardeners, toward the environment on our properties and urban lots. These guests give us methods, ideas and recipes for creating a better environment for people, our children, animals, insects and the plant life of our planet’s ecology — one backyard at a time.

Latest Episodes
After Recent Electoral Victories, What’s Next for Democratic Socialists of America?
Interview with Paul Heideman, author of Rogue Elephant: How Republicans Went from the Party of Business to the Party of Chaos, conducted by Scott Harris.
Paul Heideman discusses his recent Jacobin magazine article, “Where are the Democratic Socialists of America Going?” which examines how the group is successfully navigating the U.S. electoral system but continues to face considerable challenges in rooting itself in the U.S. working class.
As Iran War Enters 9th Month, U.S. Peace Movement Missing in Action
Interview with Frida Berrigan, a long-time activist and author of “It Runs In The Family: On Being Raised by Radicals and Growing Into Rebellious Motherhood”, conducted by Scott Harris.
Frida Berrigan, an activist who lives in southeastern Connecticut and opposes the ever-stretching shadow of militarism, talks about her recent commentary, “Where Are the Iran War Protests?” She notes that despite a wildly unpopular war with Iran, a mass protest movement for peace hasn’t materialized — at least in the ways we’ve been taught to recognize.

About Love & Communication and your host, Michelle Beaulieu-Morgan:
I was born and raised in Maine and will mention it at least once per show. I came to Connecticut 15 years ago to pursue my PhD in American Studies at Yale and then stayed. I currently live in Hamden with my two cats and a lot of plants. During the day I work in staff Learning & Development at Yale. I spend most of my non-work time as an artist and writer. You can find me online at my website, on Substack, and on Discogs.
I was recruited to radio by Val Richardson, who asked me to come on as a programmer after a few casual mentions of concerts I was going to or had recently attended. Programming is something like a dream-I-didn’t-know-I-had come true. I was always the friend who knew a lot about music or was trying to turn people on to bands or songs I came across, but I didn’t have an outlet (or a semi-captive audience). In high school, when the wind was blowing the right way, I would listen to Bates College Radio out of Lewiston, Maine, and wish I could have a radio show.
My show typically features recent music in the Indie/Alternative/Americana/Dream-Pop/Folk-Pop/Folk/Punk/Post-Punk genres. I focus primarily on female and queer singers and musicians. I also have a soft spot in my heart for Classic Rock, which was the soundtrack of my youth.
