Podcasts about Acadia

We follow the tortuous beginnings of Acadia, the first northern European colony in America -- a string of remote fishing and fur trading outposts, Catholic missions, and French farming villages, which had to withstand a harsh, remote environment, religious and political feuding, a near civil war, and frequent privateer attacks, in order to persist through the seventeenth century and finally begin to develop a distinctive Acadian provincial society which would later survive global war and ethnic cleansing.

Along the coast of Maine a special cold-adapted forest ecosystem thrives: the coastal spruce fir forest. The cool air that blows off the ocean provides an ideal environment for these colder species, but their future, like many, is uncertain. In this episode, we're traveling through time to understand how coastal spruce fir forests in Acadia have changed over the past sixty-six years.

We sit down with Megan Smith of Acadia Goldendoodles in Maine, who proves that responsible breeding can—and should—be a joy. After 17 years in the game, Megan has cracked the code on sustainability and enjoyment. She takes us on a tour of her spectacular facility, which we've affectionately dubbed a "summer camp for dogs," designed for maximum enrichment, wellbeing, and ease in managing around 20 breeding dogs at a time. Megan also explains her decision to focus exclusively on F1 and F1b generations of Goldendoodles, detailing the specific reasons and goals behind that choice. Through it all, she emphasizes the critical role of continuous education and improvement in maintaining an ethical program over nearly two decades. Whether you're a new breeder or a veteran, you'll gain creative insights into how Megan maintains her passion and makes breeding a rewarding, long-term career.

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Ross Mounce, Director of Open Access, Arcadia, a family philanthropy. A paleontologist, Ross has a PhD in evolutionary biology. When he began his PhD research at the University of Bath, he realized the lack of access to research papers and the data, and he believed researchers need to be more open and transparent with their work. Ross began working with Acadia around 8 years ago. Since 2002, Arcadia has awarded $1.3 billion to organizations around the world. Arcadia funding areas include conserving and restoring nature, recording cultural heritage and promoting open access. In this interview, Ross talks about the Arcadia funding model, and how it is managed.   Ross says "We love to see practical change in the world. So, that doesn't always mean commissioning people to do research. It means really commissioning people to do things that will change the world."

This week, we sit down with Bailey Sullivan, executive chef of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio and a Top Chef: Destination Canada finalist, who seemed almost pre-programmed for a life in restaurants: raised at Goldyburgers, her family's Forest Park burger joint, and glued to Food Network and Top Chef as a teen. She walks us through a career that runs from early gigs at Noodles & Company and Black Dog Gelato to a formative internship at two-Michelin-starred Acadia, ramen battles at Yusho Logan Square, a trial by fire at Parachute, and an eight-plus-year climb through every rung of Monteverde's kitchen ladder before taking the top job. Along the way, we talk: what Top Chef doesn't show you, no-heroes kitchen culture, fugazi tiramisu, and so much more. 

In Season Four, we're getting up close and personal with three areas in Acadia: freshwater wetlands, granite-topped mountain summits, and boreal forests. Each episode is set in one of those research sites and focuses on the science stories happening there.

What does faithfulness look like in real life? Akash Ahuja (Lexington Director of High School Ministry) takes us from Acadia to the Grand Canyon—showing how a river's slow, steady flow carved something breathtaking—and how the Spirit forms the fruit of faithfulness in us the same way. We trace God's faithfulness through Scripture (Ex 34:6–7), see Jesus finish the work the Father gave Him (John 17; 19:30), explore the Bible's two meanings of “faithfulness” (trustworthy and full of trust), and watch Jesus restore Peter to faithful service. Practical next steps land close to home: 1-minute prayers, consistent serving, small gifts—ordinary acts that add up over time. Speaker: Akash Ahuja, Lexington Director of High School Ministry Series: Cultivate — The Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) Key Texts: Galatians 5:22–23; Exodus 34:6–7; Hosea 6:3; John 17:1–5; John 21 Artwork Mentioned: Under His Wings by Laura Wallace (Psalm 57:1)

The government shutdown has been record-setting in terms of its length. So, too, has been the time that many employees of the National Park Service have been furloughed without pay. How has the shutdown affected the parks, and how have the friends groups that support the parks responded? We're going to discuss that today with Chris Lenhertz from the Golden Gate Conservancy, Jacki Harp from Smokies Life, Eric Stiles from Friends of Acadia, and Cassius Cash from the Yosemite Conservancy.

The federal government is shut down, but the national parks – most of them, anyway – are open. Back during his first term in office President Donald Trump also kept the parks open during the government shutdown that stretched from the end of 2018 into early 2019. That led to some vandalism to the parks and damage to some park resources. How are things going this shutdown? To explore that question, our guest today is Kristen Brengel, the senior vice president of government affairs with the National Parks Conservation Association.

This Day in Maine for Monday, September 29, 2025.

In the spring of 1605, France’s St. Croix settlement was moved to a new site across the Bay of Fundy, on the shore of the Annapolis Basin, an inlet in western Nova Scotia. Here at Port Royal, France's most successful colony to date was established. The general area came to be known as Acadia. Among the lieutenants on this undertaking was a geographer named Samuel de Champlain, who promptly carried out a major exploration of the northeastern coastline of what is now the United States.

In 1604, King Henri IV granted a fur monopoly to a French noble who led a colonizing expedition to an island located near the mouth of the St. Croix River, which in time was to mark the international boundary between the Canadian province of New Brunswick and the American state of Maine. The general area came to be known as Acadia. Among the lieutenants on this expedition was a geographer named Samuel de Champlain. E159.

At its peak around 1712, New France was a vast territory in North America that stretched from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay down to the Gulf of America. This immense territory was divided into five main colonies: Canada, Acadia, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Louisiana—encompassing the vast interior of today’s United States, including the Mississippi River valley. However, French settlement was sparse, making New France an enormous zone of influence rather than a densely populated area. New France’s government under the French Crown consisted of a Sovereign Council consisting of three major officials: a Governor General, an Intendant and a Bishop, and a number of minor officials, including five councilors, an attorney-general and a clerk. The Sovereign Council was to be the sole governing authority in the colony and the intermediary between the king in France and his overseas subjects in New France.

In episode 236 of America Adapts, we're heading to coastal Maine — a place where science, community, and nature all come together to tackle climate change. Adaptation doesn't just happen on its own. It takes data, observation, and sometimes years of research to generate the science that guides decisions. That science is often messy, imperfect, but it's the foundation for every smart adaptation.  Effective adaptation requires partnerships. As you will hear, in Maine, you'll find scientists, historians, local communities, and institutions like the Schoodic Institute working side by side. And it's not just about Acadia National Park — the lessons and approaches being tested here have implications far beyond Maine's rocky shores. In this podcast, you'll hear how these partners are mapping mudflats, tracking rockweed, digging into history, and asking hard questions about how to connect science with the urgent work of building resilience. This is the story of the science behind adaptation — and the unique role Maine plays in showing what's possible.  This episode was generously sponsored by the Schoodic Institute.  Experts in this Episode: Dr. Nick Fisichelli – Executive Director of the Schoodic Institute - transcript of interview Dr. Chris Nadeau – Chief Adaptation Scientist at the Schoodic Institute - transcript of interview Hannah Webber - Marine Ecology Director at the Schoodic institute - transcript of interview Dave Manski – Vice-chair of the Board at the Schoodic Institute - transcript of interview Lauren Gibson - Wild Acadia Coordinator at Friends of Acadia - transcript of interview Raney Bench - Executive Director at the Mt.

Francois-Marie Perrot (1644-1691) was appointed governor of Montreal by a royal commission in 1670 until 1684. He married Intendant Jean Talon’s niece and through his influence obtained the appointment as governor from the Saint-Sulpice seigneurs of Montreal island, succeeding Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve. In 1672, he was granted the island that now bears his name (Île Perrot to the west of Montreal Island) as a seignory. Later, Perrot was the governor of Acadia from 1684-87.

S3 E5  Schoodic Institute's Lisa Frazell  This episode takes listeners to Maine's Schoodic Peninsula, where host Bob Cutler sits down with Lisa Frazell to spotlight the work of the Schoodic Institute, a nonprofit scientific partner of Acadia National Park. Lisa explains that while many confuse the institute with schooner boats, its mission is rooted in environmental research, restoration, and education that helps sustain the park for future generations. Key Topics Science in Action for Acadia's Future The Schoodic Institute restores trails, summits, and marshes impacted by millions of visitors and climate shifts, experimenting with plants and methods that will endure for decades. Their work ensures that Acadia remains resilient in the face of environmental pressures. Training the Next Generation of Conservationists Through internships, fellowships, and immersive programs, Schoodic gives students and young professionals critical on-the-ground experience. This prepares the next wave of scientists and educators to tackle global environmental challenges. Community, Culture, and Climate Conversations From visitor engagement in Winter Harbor to public lectures on climate change, the Institute bridges science and community life. By connecting everyday people to research, they make conservation relevant and actionable for all. Episode Index (3:31) Schoodic Institute explained: a nonprofit partner to Acadia National Park, focused on research and science. (5:31) Three pillars: restoration of summits/salt marshes, sustainable research like rockweed harvesting, and education for students and early-career scientists. (10:04) Schoodic Education Adventure brings middle schoolers—sometimes seeing the ocean for the first time—into hands-on park science. (14:03) The Institute employs about 25 staff year-round, swelling to 100 in summer, funded through federal grants, philanthropy, and contracts with Acadia. (17:13) Public engagement: visitor center, lecture series, and programs on climate change, like the upcoming “Don't Fence Us In” forest panel.  

Today, we're joined by a familiar voice and a musically inclined CPG thought leader: Chris Perry of firstmovr. He's spent the last several months educating brands on how to prepare for a new age of product discovery and conversion paths with the dawn of AI-enabled search.  We're thrilled to have him back to share key insights and practical takeaways from his recent trainings. Tune in to find out more! KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Chris discuss: The Changing Digital Shelf: How the digital shelf continues to evolve rapidly and the growing importance of frictionless and personalized shopping experiences driven by AI. Personal Experiences with AI Search: How tools like Rufus and ChatGPT are influencing their own shopping behaviors. Choice Paralysis and AI Solutions: Choice overload for consumers and how agentic AI tools can curate and simplify decision-making, much like a “Costco experience” for endless online assortments. Training and Transition for Brands: Chris details the challenge of bringing legacy organizations up to speed, highlighting the need to expand skillsets from basic e-commerce “math” to effectively leveraging AI “calculator” tools. Brand Case Studies and Shopper Journeys: Through real shopping scenarios (e.g., searching for whitening toothpaste for sensitive teeth), Chris explains how AI-driven search results can differ from traditional ones, urging brands to rethink content strategy and optimization. Prompting and Shopper-Centric Content: Tips for brands to analyze and adapt to AI tools' pre-filled questions and dynamic prompts, which often reveal emerging shopper concerns and influence purchase considerations.

DESCRIPTION Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. Today, we're tackling what might be the least glamourously named ad product out there: OLV, short for “Online Video.” But don't let the name fool you. Behind that bland acronym lies a powerful tool that's been driving some seriously impressive results. To help us unpack the magic of OLV, we're joined by two of the masterminds making it happen on the front lines: Ross Walker and Carel van Rooyen from our retail media team.   “It's getting more and more expensive to buy incremental traffic on Amazon itself. This is true especially for brands competing in premium beauty categories or even CPG grocery categories. It's tough to get an edge.” Ross Walker   KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Carel, and Ross discuss: Clarification of OLV as Online Video, distinct from sponsored brand video and streaming TV. Where OLV ads run (off Amazon, across the open web and apps via Amazon's publisher network). How OLV has helped overcome challenges like declining traffic or flat sales on Amazon. OLV's impact on increasing glance views, revenue, and generating a "halo effect" across product catalogs. The importance of keeping creatives fresh to avoid stagnation. Best-performing audience types so far: in-market and lifestyle audiences drive awareness and new-to-brand purchases. Early success testing retargeting and AMC (Amazon Marketing Cloud) lookalike audiences for higher click-through and page view rates. Value of demographic layering, even though it narrows reach, it lowers cost per action and improves efficiency. Lower costs and less competition compared to streaming/connected TV ads. Easier creative requirements: Repurposing existing sponsored brand videos can minimize barriers to entry. OLV fills a vital role in the funnel, driving external traffic before consumers start their Amazon search, improving overall channel performance. How to fund OLV: Testing with incremental budgets where possible, or reallocating spend from less efficient campaign buckets. Examples of positive results even from modest testing budgets (as low as $2,000/month). Why focusing solely on ROAS is limiting; OLV's bigger impact shows up in incremental lifts in overall traffic and sales. Utilizing AMC Path to Purchase reports to demonstrate OLV's role in the customer journey. Rising success with vertical video formats and Amazon's support for new creative options in OLV.  

Phase III data from Lilly's orforglipron in obesity fell short of investor expectations, but they appear to be enough to obtain approval and wide use. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's analysts discuss why the first-in-class oral small molecule GLP-1R agonist's clean safety profile and clear manufacturing advantage over oral peptides give the product a leg-up in the market.They then discuss Vinay Prasad's return to FDA after a brief hiatus, the revamped strategy of 32-year-old San Diego biotech Acadia Pharmaceuticals, and an attempt in the Senate to revive the Biosecure Act targeting China biotechs.Finally, the analysts preview this year's Back to School package, which reimagines FDA. At a time of unprecedented change in government agencies, BioCentury's 33rd Back to School asks what FDA could look like if it were reorganized from the ground up to create the regulator patients deserve and industry needs.

STORY OF AMERICA — French King Henri IV granted a fur monopoly to a noble who led a colonizing expedition to an island located near the mouth of the St. Croix River in 1604, which in time was to mark the international boundary between the Canadian province of New Brunswick and the American state of Maine. In the spring of 1605, France’s St. Croix settlement was moved to a new site across the Bay of Fundy, on the shore of the Annapolis Basin, an inlet in western Nova Scotia. Here at Port Royal, France's most successful colony to date was established. The general area came to be known as Acadia. Among the lieutenants on this undertaking was a geographer named Samuel de Champlain, who promptly carried out a major exploration of the northeastern coastline of what is now the United States.

S3 E1 Novio's Radio | Wyoming Loves Acadia In this Novio's Radio episode of Cocktails with Friends, Bob Cutler introduces George Hale and Ric Tyler to a special limited-edition bottle from Wyoming Whiskey that honors Acadia National Park. For the first time, the brand is recognizing a national park outside Wyoming—and they chose Acadia. Bob also explains where and why Novio's acquires such clear ice. Plus, listeners also get a deep tasting breakdown of the 98-proof bourbon, offering notes of orange, almond, cherry, honey, vanilla, espresso, and chocolate.  Key Topics Whiskey for Conservation –  Bob details how the Wyoming Whiskey liquor release is helping raise funds for Acadia National Park projects. The Science of Ice –  Why the clear, slow-melting cubes Novio's acquires for patrons matter for taste and dilution. How to Taste Whiskey –  Bob offers tasting tips, a flavor breakdown, and what “smooth” really means. Episode Index 0:00 – Wyoming Whiskey honors Acadia with a special edition bottle, supporting Friends of Acadia for the first time ever. 1:17 – Cutler explains the science of using large, clear ice cubes from Knickerbocker Ice in cocktails and whiskey pours. 3:21 – He defends adding ice to whiskey, calling it a personal preference that brings out hidden notes like honey and vanilla. 6:43 – The whiskey will be available statewide at Maine's state agency liquor stores, and proceeds will support trail repair, shuttle services, and worker housing in Acadia. 9:33 – Tasting notes include orange, almond, cherry, honey, vanilla, espresso, and chocolate—a layered, complex profile at 98 proof  

Today, we're delighted to welcome back a longtime friend of the show, Russ Dieringer.  He's here to share key insights from Stratably's latest research, diving into how brands are navigating content optimization for Rufus and the evolving landscape of AI-driven search. Tune in to find out more!   KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Russ discuss: Russ shares his own experience as an Amazon shopper using Rufus, noting its usefulness for browsing and specific queries, but also highlighting that most everyday shoppers aren't aware of Rufus by name. Stratable's survey included 286 brands and agencies, focusing mainly on mid-sized and enterprise consumer brands, to understand industry attitudes and actions towards AI optimization. Despite AI being the industry buzzword, only 12% of brands and 20% of agencies have taken concrete steps to optimize product detail pages for Rufus. There's a lot of talk, but relatively little action so far. A major barrier is a lack of clarity from Amazon about how Rufus works and what specifically brands should do to optimize for it. Many brands are still trying to perfect basic search optimization, let alone adapt to the new AI layer, with content under-resourcing being an ongoing issue. Evaluating the impact of AI-oriented content changes is tough—only about a quarter of those who have made changes report a positive effect, and tracking the influence of AI touchpoints (like review summaries) is still a gray area. Russ recommends a balanced approach: don't ignore AI advancements or drop everything to chase the trend. Instead, start testing and learning now, so your brand can adapt as best practices and clearer measurement tools emerge. The episode closes with an emphasis on curiosity, experimentation, and the reality that there's no perfect playbook—brands should embrace the unknown and be proactive in learning as the ecosystem evolves.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Are Brands Actually Updating PDPs for Rufus?

The National Park System (NPS) is a national treasure. US National Parks represent just about every type of feature and wildlife you can imagine. And it's not just parks: The NPS includes national monuments, memorials, scenic trails, lakeshores, battlefields, recreation areas, and more. The concept of a national park is credited to George Catlin, a 19th-century lawyer, painter, and adventurer. His travels took him all over the burgeoning United States, where he met fifty native tribes. He also worried about the loss of wildlife, wilderness, and indigenous people as America expanded westward into the frontier. His solution? A ‘nation's park' — land protected by the government for future generations. That vision became reality in 1872, when Yellowstone, in what's now Wyoming, became the first national park established by Congress. Now there are 63 National Parks across the US and its territories, from Acadia in Maine to Yosemite in California, Denali in Alaska to Dry Tortugas in Florida, and so many more in between. In this episode, we explore the almost overwhelming awesomeness of the NPS and take a virtual tour of some of the coolest experiences you can have in nature. We learn about the history of hippos and the Everglades, meet the most dangerous animal in the Grand Canyon, and learn the best place to eat popovers in Maine. Then we recommend five books that took us on big adventures in national parks, including a historical novel in Oklahoma, an adventure story in the Pacific Northwest, a murder mystery in Michigan, a memoir in Arizona, and a Bigfoot tale in Washington. Shelterwood by Lisa Wingate Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed A Superior Death by Nevada Barr A Walk in the Park: The True Story of a Spectacular Misadventure in the Grand Canyon by Kevin Fedarko Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre by Max Brooks For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.
