#175: Progressive rural organizing and facts don't care about your feelings (on school lunch)

<p>Callie is back from surgery and fought through the pain to be with us today! That&apos;s how much she loves y&apos;all!<br/><br/>We talk to Matt Hildreth, Executive Director of Rural Organizing (RuralOrganizing.org) to discuss the progressive road map to rebuild a rural America that is empowered, thriving, and equitable. RuralOrganizing.org is committed to pursuing creativity, equity, and justice at all organizational levels and throughout all programs. <br/><br/>Plus, we talk about Kirk Cameron&apos;s library hissy fit in Tennessee that led to a library director getting canned, teeing us up for our list of 5 wildly unhinged things the Left Behind star has done/said<br/><br/>AND!  We give an impassioned rant about the absurd notion presented by Ben Shapiro that school lunches don&apos;t have any meaningful impact on solving child hunger (spoiler: he is woefully incorrect).  <br/><br/><b>Rural Organizing links</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://ruralorganizing.org/'>https://ruralorganizing.org/</a></li><li>Weekly Skews (mentioned in the interview)<a href='https://weeklyskews.com/'> https://weeklyskews.com/</a></li></ul><p><b>HELP SUPPORT APPODLACHIA!</b></p><ul><li>Join our Patreon, <b>for as little as $1/month</b>, and access live events, weekly exclusives, bonus series, and more <a href='http://www.patreon.com/appodlachia'>http://www.patreon.com/appodlachia</a></li></ul><p>-----------------------------------------------<br/><b>Timestamps</b></p><ul><li>00:01 - Addressing the shooting in Nashville</li><li>05:00 - Checking in with Callie</li><li>08:00 - List Background: Kirk Cameron a &quot;growing pain&quot; in the liturgical ass</li><li>15:43 - <em>Weekly List: 5 Unhinged Things Kirk Cameron has said/done</em></li><li>34:31 - Interview with Matt Hildreth</li><li>01:10:40  - <em>Under-the-radar: Ben Shapiro&apos;s factless take on school lunch</em></li></ul><p>-----------------------------------------------<br/>Transition Music: &quot;Leave it to Me&quot; by Corduroy Brown<br/><a href='https://corduroy-brown.com/
