As heard on the Sagebrush Variety Show Farm Report, here’s the recipe for...
Chivey PastaThis is a recipe Robert developed one early Spring day when the only thing growing in our garden was chives--lots of them--and nothing else. He rose to the challenge of finding a way to use large quantities [...]
Bucky Buckaw's Backyard Chicken Broadcast was recently featured on Deconstructing Dinner, a weekly one-hour radio show and podcast hosted by Jon Steinman. The show covers a wide range of food security issues, and the Sagebrush Players have long been fans of the show. If you haven't [...]
Preheat oven to 425.
Remove the outer papery covering of the garlic (leave the inner skin). Slice off the top of each head so most of the' [...]
I really like this skit but I will admit that upon hearing it the night before its premiere air time I realized it may be one of the weirdest skits I’ve written for Sagebrush as well as the most difficult to understand without any background. So here’s the deal:
A company [...]
This Week's Essay is an unapologetic spoof on the Essay of the Week by Diane Josephy-Peavey (DJP) heard in Idaho on NPR affiliates. For many years, Idahoans have heard her romanticize and glorify ranching in the West through her radio essays, claiming that livestock herds are good for the' [...]

So in these last few shows, I've pulled out a lot of "unfinished" pieces -- things we recorded or started recording but either didn't finish or get to use. You've been exposed to some of them now: The Militant Grammarian, Male Privilege, and the forgettable Little' [...]
I came across Barry Deutsch's Male Privilege Checklist about a year and a half ago and got the Sagebrush men to read it. I was hoping to do something fancier with it but for some reason it kept getting pushed aside. It's simply a list (by no means exhaustive) [...]
[...] Animal Enterprise Terrorist Act (AETA) is as falsely labelled as the PATRIOT ACT. As Bucky says on this weeks Backyard Chicken Broadcast, this bill is not about violent individuals with an agenda. It is about suppressing legitimate criticism of companies. Despite claims that there is a clause in the bill [...]
This weeks Level Red is inspired by the Reporter Arrested for Photographing Governor's Inauguration Parade in Connecticut earlier this month. Now, consider that Boise and the Spokane/Moscow area have Criminal Investigation Units that are part of the same Local Franchise Opportunities in Homeland Security as the one that' [...]
This episode is inspired by The Idaho Green Party, the city of Emmett police and the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) but the main inspiration was this article, Protester=Criminal?, from The Progressive. You know the oft quoted and even more often paraphrased "they came for so and so and" [...]
Ever since we insisted that Kevin make bread for the first time ever - and it turned out great - he's become a breadmaking fiend. Here I have graphed his breadbaking activities. He's been baking, on average, one loaf every 2.5 days. He's even been photographing [...] This week's Code Level Red is partly inspired on the notorious excesses of Homeland Security's no-fly list denied (sort-of) by this squirmingly defensive FBI press release. Not that we're "anti-FBI." Indeed, we celebrate the Bureau's efforts to root out public corruption in our side-story based on the [...]
Ever since the NY Times interviewed a baker, Jim Lahey, who generously revealed his recipe for idiot-proof no-knead bread, there's been an international buzz about it. News got to Idaho, and we've tested the recipe and some variations with consistent results: amazing, rustic, artisan, old-world style [...]
This week we interview Ed Keener, president of the Interfaith Sanctuary board. This is the group that houses Boise's homeless without forcing them to subscribe to any religious activities or imposing any lifestyle rules. This is the second winter this massive operation is being undertaken. Only two paid staff [...]
We couldn't resist throwing in these two links to non-commercial websites run by fellow gardeners who they share our fascination with Kale growing in snow
Monte of Michigan's Veggie Adventures
Growing Taste (Northwest, Zone 6ers)
[...]This week's Homeland Security: Code Level Red is almost entirely based on true stories. Honest. In some case we can't reveal our sources (such as our Sagebrush Variety operative working as an "agent" for the FBI) but following is the thoroughly documented inspiration for this week's episode "Footballers."
Our Agent Bailey's [...]
