This week the ZimmCast hits a milestone with episode number 150. Hard to believe I’ve been podcasting for almost 3 years. It has been a blast though as we pioneer new ways to communicate to farmers and consumers. That’s why it’s kind of fitting that this week’s program contains an interview with my good friend Brenda Curtis-Heiken, USDA Radio.

Brenda is retiring from USDA right after the first of the year. Before she got away I wanted to have a chance to chat with her about what she does, her career highlights and reminisce a little about it all, including an international trip we were on a number of years ago.

That trip was taken prior to digital cameras so I had to go to my print archives to find this picture of Brenda (middle) with Cindy and me. It was taken at a reception in Rome where we attended a World Food Day activity among other things.

Yes we can tell some stories and still do at farm broadcaster get togethers. We wish Brenda all the best and have enjoyed working with her throughout our careers in farm broadcasting. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

At the end of the program I’ve got some music from the Podsafe Music Network that fits into the holiday spirit I hope you’re in. It’s called “Regifting For The Holidays” by the The Alice Project. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.
