Issues & Ideas: Old vine wines, Lives Well Lived, and Slow Money SLO.

On this edition of Issues & Ideas we'll explore an important aspect of some farmworker's lives- Labor Contractors. Reporter Francisco Martinez reports. Betsey Nash, KCBX’s Grape Nut, takes you along on her search for her wine tasting roots, and in the process learns about old vine zinfandel. You’ll hear from Sky Bergman, a local award-winning filmmaker whose documentary film "Lives Well Lived: Celebrating the Secrets, Wit, and Wisdom of Age” has just started airing on PBS. And finally, you'll learn about Slow Money SLO; a nonprofit that supports the sustainable growth of small food and farm businesses.

Carol started as a newsroom volunteer at KCBX in the summer of 2017, inspired by her daughter's internship with KCBX News. She joined the KCBX staff in 2018 as a substitute host, and became the local host for Morning Edition in 2020.
