Alright burger lovers. You’re not alone, not by a long shot. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty about eating one of life’s best food choices. I think burgers should be in their own food group category. And don’t forget that famous line from Wimpy (Popeye), “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” You can find your very …
Hey Pumpkin, Visit Austria/Slovenia
Yes, pumpkin. They’re big in the part of the world that this year’s IFAJ Congress is taking place. Two countries for the price of one. Listen to this week’s program to find out more.

Your Feedback Is Needed
Have a nice Missouri sunrise to start your day. I only had my Blackberry Curve with me when I was out early this morning so this pic could be better.

She said Thursday that numerous people have asked her …
I Don’t Want To Be Green
I really hate to bring up the color green here even though it used to be my favorite color. But after reading on Meatingplace.com about a Greenpeace study that says that people should all become vegetarians in order to reduce global warming I can’t keep quiet. C’mon. They supposedly say according to the article (I don’t even want to waste …
A Field Assignment From Charleston Orwig
When I first saw an incoming link to AgWired From Field Assignment I thought it must be a student blog. Probably because I had just read about one teacher’s assignment of having her online journalism class take video cameras out into the field to shoot video for an assignment. By the way, if you’re in journalism and wondering if you …
