Special Holiday Podcast (12-20-09): It's a Wonderful Slice of 'It's a Wonderful Life' Mike does the entire movie in about 12 minutes. Producer Heather Frey plays Mary and special
guest star, radio show host Scott Austin joins
the festivities. Oh, yeah. There are a few WCPT
characters in the background singing
"Auld Lang Syne." I don't know how they
got into the studio. Honest.

George Janowiak from the Illinois Giant Pumpkin Growers Association reports on the annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off at Benston's Pumpkin Farm in Homer Glen. Art Scheele from American Organic in Warren, Illinois talks about the value of fall and spring-planted cover crops. Mike welcomes a panel--Karen Hudson from Illinois Citizens for Clean Air and Water, Michele Merkel from the Environmental Integrity Project and Danielle Diamond from the Socially Responsible Agricultural Project--that explains the dangers posed by CAFOs in Illinois and in the nation. They are joined by rural resident Dave Leifheit, who found his rural property a few thousand feet away from a CAFO in Ogle County, and who successfully sought tax relief for that circumstance.
