“Digging in the Dirt” is the recipient of the 2025 CT. Northeast Organic Farmers association Bill Duesing Organic living on earth award.

On “Digging in the Dirt”, airing the 2nd and 4th Mondays on WPKN radio, Kevin Gallagher unearths conversations that matter. This hour-long interview program features internationally renowned experts and grassroots pioneers—farmers, scientists, authors, and activists—who tackle today’s most pressing environmental issues. From climate change solutions to regenerative farming, Kevin’s guests share actionable wisdom for growing healthier food while healing the planet. But it’s not just about big names; Kevin amplifies local voices too—food writers, urban gardeners, and innovators who inspire listeners to take environmental action right in their backyards. Each episode serves up methods, ideas, and even recipes to nurture ecosystems for people, wildlife, and future generations—one patch of soil at a time. Catch “Digging in the Dirt” on air, via podcast (with 200+ episodes to explore), or during Kevin’s weekly

GaiaGram segments (Mondays at 4:55 PM and Thursdays at 12:55 PM), delivering urgent environmental headlines from a planet in crisis.

Why stop at dirt? Kevin’s passion for digging runs deeper. Whether it’s pulling garlic from his garden, spinning rare grooves from WPKN’s musical vault, or championing an overlooked ecological film, he’s always sharing treasures. Tune into his eclectic music show every other Monday (4:00–6:30 PM) for a genre-defying mix of old, new, and always something blue.
