Ashley On - The Koolulam Project with Founder & CEO Michal Shahaf
Singing is Believing! Koolulam is a "social musical initiative" that is changing the world by putting out what I like to call "Fast Waves" or ripples of positivity in our world that physically must overcome the low vibration waves of war. Though it may not feel like that to founder and CEO, Michal Shahaf now due to the horrible war that is ravaging Israel at the time of our recording, she and all involved in Koolulam are undoubtedly slowly changing our world for the better and we owe them a large debt of gratitude as such. This is a fantastic interview with Michal who is trying to keep her light shining bright during these trying times. In fact, a new Koolulam song/video will soon be released which is a collaborative effort by music directors all over the world performing Madonna's "Like a Prayer" in the spirit of Peace.

Ashley On - Hempseed as Horse Feed with Kristine Ely, PhD.
Hempseed has always been legal in the US for human consumption and anyone in the US can simply go to their local supermarket and pick up some hempseed oil or hemp hearts in order to fortify their nutrition. Yet, for some reason, we are not allowed to feed it to our horses or to our dogs to aid nutrition or reduce inflammation.
Whether or not horses and dogs are allowed to eat hempseed may seem like a trivial pursuit for some, but those who are interested in a future where hemp can eliminate plastic, paper and toxic building materials are very interested in this topic.
While hemp is exponentially faster than trees at reducing CO2 from the air (and in some locations can be grown 2-3 times per year!), today hemp stalks are too expensive to be used as a replacement for petroleum and wood based products. However, if the associated hempseed is able to be fed to the farm animals, the economics of using hemp stalk as a more sustainable option to replace plastics drastically shift.
Dr. Kristine Ely from Virginia Tech has done research showing that not only is hempseed oil safe for horses, but horses who were fed hempseed oil:
(a) had NO cannabinoids (THC, CBD, etc.) contamination present in their blood
(b) DID have significant increases of γ-Linolenic acid (GLA), a unique fatty acid that is uncommon in horse's diets and which increases the horse's production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids
(c) had NO other inflammatory biomarkers influenced by treatment

Ashley On - The Shroud of Turin with Barrie Schwortz
This show is with Barrie Schwortz who participated in an amazing mission with elite scientists to verify the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin and has been featured on Gaia TV and many other programs discussing this amazing artifact. Barrie runs theShroud.com website: "The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forgery, a hoax perpetrated by some clever artist? Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed study and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today than we ever have before. And yet, the controversy still rages."
