(Dec 15, 2025) Some military members and their families around Fort Drum are struggling with food insecurity and the lasting impacts of the government shutdown; as the year winds down, Gov. Kathy Hochul is working her way through bills that still need her signature; and we talk to the man who has recreated his canoe journey from the headwaters of the Hudson River in the Adirondacks to New York City, after being the first recorded person to do it 35 years ago.

Where else can your morning class involve snowshoes, your lab take place in a 100-year-old white pine stand, and your campus stretch across 14,000 acres of Adirondack wilderness? Paul Smith's College is a place where learning happens in the field — sometimes literally — and that's precisely why we love it.This week on ADK Talks, we head to the shores of Lower St. Regis Lake with Dr. Brett McLeod, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Natural Resources, to explore what makes Paul Smith's unlike any other college in the country. From forestry and fish restoration to culinary arts, climate resilience, and the beloved Visitor Interpretive Center, the “College of the Adirondacks” blends outdoor tradition with forward-thinking science, community partnerships, and a whole lot of boots-on-the-ground experience.What you'll hear in this episodeHow a 19th-century wilderness hotel on Lower St. Regis Lake evolved into Paul Smith's College — and why forestry, hospitality, and the liberal arts still anchor its identity.What it means to have a campus where every classroom door opens directly into the forest — including wildlife labs, winter ecology lessons, and fieldwork 20 steps from the parking lot.The story behind Paul Smith's VIC: its origins with the APA, its role as a community hub, and why it's one of the most accessible entry points for visitors curious about the college.How students earn a real Adirondack advantage through internships, DEC partnerships, guest speakers, and a strong pipeline into regional conservation and recreation careers.A favorite tale of “Adirondack resilience in action”: draft horses and students hauling 20 tons of lime across the ice to restore remote brook trout habitat.A primer on modern forestry — long time horizons, carbon, wildlife, timber, and the art of thinking 100 years into the future.New initiatives that broaden the college's reach: artisan culinary training, specialized institutes, and programs like Battlefish Academy for veterans seeking a path into guiding and small business.How the Adirondack Watershed Institute works to protect lakes, prevent invasives, and educate boaters — and why firewood rules matter more than you think.A quick detour to a host favorite: the hike up St. Regis Mountain and its restored fire tower with views over the St. Regis Lakes chain.Resources:Paul Smith's CollegePaul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center (VIC)Adirondack Watershed InstituteSt. Regis Canoe AreaAdirondack Park AgencyProduced by NOVA

Plastic pollution is turning up in surprising places, for surprising reasons No matter how dedicated you are to Leave No Trace principles while enjoying the Highlands, you may be leaving something behind. In 2023, researchers Tim Keyes and Joe Dadey led an expedition of high school students down the Hudson River. They began at the source at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks and proceeded to paddle and hike to New York Harbor. Along the way, they took water samples to measure for microplastics. As The Current reported in 2019, scientists have found microscopic fragments in the deepest ocean trenches, nearly 7 miles down. They've found them in the most desolate parts of the Arctic, in the rain over the mountains, in the fish, in the water. And they've found them in human poop, because we inhale and consume tens of thousands of pieces each year, which is probably a gross underestimation because scientists haven't yet inventoried every animal or food that absorbs them. Keyes even found microplastics in samples taken last year at Mount Denali in Alaska. "It was a very low measurement, but it wasn't zero," he said. Microplastics are defined as particles that measure 5 millimeters or smaller. They are created when plastic items, such as water bottles, are broken down by sunlight or the rocking of waves. Because the Hudson River flows through heavily populated, industrialized areas, the researchers were not surprised to find microplastics in the water. But they also presumed that samples from Lake Tear, in the high peaks of the "forever wild" Adirondacks, accessible only by trails, would have relatively low amounts. That was not the case. The most polluted sample measured 28.94 particles per milliliter at Glens Falls. The least polluted was 2.12 particles/ml at the City of Hudson. Lake Tear measured 9.45 particles/ml. The Lake Tear sample seemed to defy belief. The researchers theorized that its source was airborne pollution. There was precedent: In the 1970s, the Adirondacks experienced a wave of tree and fish die-offs because of acid rain polluted by coal-burning power plants in Ohio. Some alpine lakes still haven't recovered. This past summer, the researchers returned to Lake Tear for more samples, including from the even more isolated Moss Pond, about a quarter-mile away. Unlike Lake Tear, there's no hiking trail to the pond, only a dense and uninviting bushwack, and it's not a source for the Hudson. The most recent samples from Lake Tear measured 16.54 particles/ml, nearly twice the amount taken a few years earlier, although Keyes thinks that this summer's lack of rain compared to 2023 may have played a role. However, the Moss Pond samples showed barely any contamination. That ruled out the airborne pollution hypothesis. And it led the researchers to an uncomfortable conclusion. "It's coming off the trail," said Keyes. "It's our clothing, our packs and our shoes." Plastics everywhere "Microplastics are a foreign object in your body," said Judith Enck, a former regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency who co-wrote a new book, The Problem with Plastic. "You're breathing them in, you're swallowing them." It was at the EPA that the scope of the plastics problem came on her radar; she's since founded an advocacy group, Beyond Plastics. "It's not just the plastic," she said. "It's the chemicals used to make plastic that hitchhike on the microplastics. You excrete some of it, but not all of it, and we don't know what the chemical mixture is of the plastic additive, or what is in your body, because they could be made from 16,000 different chemicals." Enck said that early research has suggested links between microplastics and heart attacks, strokes and neurological disorders. "The microplastics are crossing the blood-brain barrier," she said. Plastics have changed the world, from lightweight implants that save lives to packaging that keeps food fresh. Outdoor gear has also benefited; synthetic fabrics l...

In this episode, we crack open the ADK Talks mailbag — and you did not hold back. From the mysteries of the blue line to the origins of the word Adirondack, from Great Camps you can actually stay in to the surprisingly wholesome truth about nudists in the Adirondacks… you kept us laughing, thinking, and occasionally Googling just to make sure we weren't making things up.We share the questions that made us stop mid-sentence, the ones that sent us down rabbit holes through history, and the ones that reminded us why we love this wild, weird, wonderful park. Somewhere along the way, we talk about road signs that don't quite know where they are, a Westport chair that became a global icon, and a stream named after an abandoned pair of BVDs. (If that isn't peak Adirondack, we don't know what is.)It's curious, quirky, and just plain fun.

Proposition One on this year's election ballot asks New York voters to approve a state constitutional amendment that resolves issues around construction at the biathlon and Nordic ski facilities at Mt. Van Hoevenberg near Lake Placid and also adds land to the Adirondack Forest Preserve. The proposition would allow the Olympic Regional Development Authority, or ORDA, to construct, operate and maintain facilities on no more than 323 acres. To offset, that the state would be required to buy an additional 2,500 acres that would be added to the Forest Preserve. Claudia Braymer of Protect the Adirondacks discusses the proposal as well as their hope that the state will purchase the 36,000 acre Whitney Park. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

In this episode, Chris Romano welcomes Brandon Barlow, the creator of "The 70 Rule," to discuss his innovative approach to hunting. Brandon shares insights into his method, which focuses on understanding deer behavior through the observation of fawn development and estrus cycles. He explains how the 70 Rule helps hunters identify optimal hunting times by analyzing fawn birth dates and backdating to determine when does were impregnated. This method allows hunters to predict rut periods and strategically plan their hunts for higher success rates. Brandon emphasizes the importance of using historical data and natural deer patterns to minimize hunting efforts and maximize results. Throughout the conversation, Brandon shares personal anecdotes and experiences that highlight the effectiveness of his approach. He discusses the challenges and rewards of hunting in different environments, from the Adirondacks to North Carolina, and how his system adapts to various conditions. Brandon also touches on his involvement in environmental conservation, particularly in managing native pollinators and solar farms, showcasing his commitment to sustainable practices. The episode provides a comprehensive look at Brandon's philosophy and the practical application of the 70 Rule, offering valuable insights for both novice and experienced hunters.

We're officially back from the 2025 Adirondacks retreat, and J Gulinello (HealthReclamationProject.com) is in the studio for a night of topic changes that may leave us all dizzy when it is done.

It took 40, then 25, then 30 miles before the mind finally stopped screaming and started praying. Fresh off a solo bike ride through the Adirondacks, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into practical bhakti: how movement can quiet the mental “algorithm,” how to use Kārtika (Damodara Month) to turn up your practice x1000, and why the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam's Brahma-vimohana lila (Brahma Mohan Leela)—when Kṛṣṇa becomes every cowherd boy and calf—reveals more than wonder; it maps how God and God's energies actually work. Key Highlights * “Metaphysical Amazon Prime”: stop praying for two-day shipping; start praying “What do You want from me today?” * Kārtika math: one round = a thousand (devotion multiplies—calories don't). * Japa that sticks: sit, walk, or pedal—just get past the first “many miles” of mental noise. * Phone in another room = mind in the same room as God. * Acintya-bhedābheda for real life: one energy, different functions—like electricity that can cool your fridge and heat your toast. If you're ready to trade doom-scrolling for mantra-rolling, this episode gives you a simple plan: pick a vow for Kārtika, leave the phone outside the temple of your morning, and let the mind settle mile by mile until prayer gets loud.

September 14, 1901. Midnight in the Adirondacks. A pounding knock at the door jolts Theodore and Edith Roosevelt awake. William McKinley is dead. Hours later, Theodore will be sworn in as the youngest president in U.S. history. But Edith barely flinches—her diary that day notes her children's sniffles before her husband's rise to power. Who was this woman who grew up alongside Theodore, helped shape his presidency, reinvented the role of First Lady, and yet tried to erase her own story from the record?  Special thanks to Kathleen Dalton, author of Theodore Roosevelt: A Strenuous Life; and Edward O'Keefe, author of The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created a President. O'Keefe is also the CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, set to open next 4th of July. Artwork: Studio portrait of Edith and Theodore Roosevelt seated together, by Walter Scott Shinn, 1916.
