I'm so thrilled to have Carol Connare back on the pod again, just about 2 years later - I'm a big fan of Carol, and The Old Farmer's Almanac. The team at The Old Farmer's Almanac recently started their own podcast, AND the 2027 Almanac just came out in September, so I'm excited to hear all about what to be looking for. 2027 is the 235th anniversary of the Almanac, so there's a LOT to catch up on! I think I was too starstruck 2 years ago to ask about weather and climate change, but I did this time - phew!
I was thinking that the title of this episode should be "How on Earth did Amy score The Old Farmer's Almanac on the Podcast?? But it was too many characters... Shall we make it the UNofficial title? (I copied this from my notes 2 years ago because it's so clever - and even better that I got Carol TWICE!)
Carol Connare is only the 14th editor of The Old Farmer's Almanac, and only the 2nd woman Editor - since 1792! She talks about the beginnings of the Almanac, and about the great topics discussed (besides the weather), like recipes, fun animal stories, lifestyle trends, and so on. She and her team collect a pool of topics and articles, then pick the best of all of those - and they also respond to emails, phone calls and snail mail! Sometimes they have to do research before responding, but they ALWAYS do! Millions of readers, and anyone who writes in gets a response, which seems unheard of, but so very cool.
Are you an Almanac loyalist? It covers so many articles and topics about gardening and paying attention to Earth's weather patterns, because nature can help provide a fulfilling, healthy lifestyle. And we all want that, right?
