I first met today's guest in Austin, Texas on March 23, 2013 on South Congress Ave. between Annie Street East and Milton Street East, while I was recording street musicians for my Texas Road Trip podcast which is where I recorded him playing his original tune “Sing Like The Sages” https://themisterradio.blogspot.com/2013/05/texas-road-trip-2013-brad-sage.html. A native of Austin Texas, he learned to sing and write from around the age of 12. He has studied Resource Environmental Science at both Austin Community College and Texas State University and prior to this attended school at the MediaTech Institute for Sound Engineering and Live Production. For his day job he is a Team Captain but after work he becomes a multi-instrumentalist of wind, string, and percussion instruments but considers himself a writer and singer first. He also considers himself to be a magician just as much as a musician, because he feels that music is magic. Currently in the process of creating short movies and movie soundtracks, https://www.youtube.com/c/BradleySkiMcCollum/videos it is my pleasure to introduce Bradley Ski McCollum.

The Orange County Farm Bureau opened the first ever certified California farmersʼ market in the history of Orange County nearly 40 years ago. This past winter I had the opportunity to visit the Irvine, California farmers market, where one can cut the middle man and buy fresh fruits, vegetables, plants and other produce directly from the farmer. In turn supporting family farms that are part of the community rather than large grocery chains. Not only can you find produce that is rarely found at a grocery store but you also reduce your carbon footprint since produce at the farmersʼ markets travels shorter distances from the field to the plate thus having a smaller carbon footprint. It was a beautiful February day in Southern California, “SoCal” to the locals, and the music playing in the air lured me in.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes, and trends shaping the world, currently about three in 10 U.S. adults or 29%, are religious “nones”, that's spelled N-O-N-E-S, or people who describe themselves as atheists, agnostics, or nothing in particular when asked about their religious identity. This is only one of the challenges facing religious leaders today. COVID, social media and politics are also in the mix. To discuss these and other issues. I reached out by telephone to three faith leaders in the village of Ridgewood, New Jersey, a suburban bedroom community of New York city located approximately 20 miles Northwest of Midtown Manhattan. I opened my interview with the results of the recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, as well as a series published by The Record on religion and suburban houses of worship in Northern New Jersey, which have lost between 40 to 50% of their congregations and asked my guests, if they had noticed a drop in their membership as well.
