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. Takeaways The 70 Rule: A method to predict hunting times by analyzing fawn birth dates. Fawn Observation: Observing fawn development helps predict rut periods. Historical Data: Use past data and patterns to enhance hunting success. Adaptability: The 70 Rule adapts to different environments and conditions.

Oof… This case. Too soon. Too sad. Too much WTF…  And yet, here we are. There truly is no way to sugarcoat what happened to 9-year old Melina Frattolin, who was visiting her father, Luciano, the owner of a supposedly successful coffee business.   But like most things in this case — there's the truth and there's the story that Luciano tells.  And that story includes a tale of a white van pulling up to where Luciano and Melina were hanging out by the side of the road — and several kidnappers jumping out and taking the young girl.

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. Thoughts from the mountains, Amelia Earhart is getting "declassified", Obamacare prices are worse than ever before, thoughts from J about the JFK-level insanity we're being left to digest with the Charlie Kirk official story, and so much more. J is also going to talk about the next phase in his health practice that is now open to the general audience after a year's worth of beta testing.

October 9, 2025- A massive piece of property in the Adirondacks that has long been coveted by conservationist is in the process of changing hands, so there is renewed pressure on Gov. Kathy Hochul to secure at least some of the land for preservation. We discuss the issue with Claudia Braymer, executive director of Protect The Adirondacks.

(Oct 7, 2025) Limitations to federal visa programs and ramped up immigration enforcement are creating creating uncertainty for some North Country farmers and farmworkers; we break down federal COVID-19 vaccine guidance after lots of confusion; and a woodworker in the southern Adirondacks is incorporating technology into his pieces. 

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. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.13.36–40

“This really is the full motivation for my having written the memoir. I want people to know what the process is like; not only what the process is like but what the feelings are that don't really make you think of psychoanalysis as a way of changing your life. We're just living and hoping that things will change without really taking account of the fact that we could be living better lives and in a better way. I began to think of the ways of the world and the wickedness in it. There's so many things that we do to keep us going - me and my aphrodisiacs, and I think other people doing other things just to divert them from the misery and unhappiness that they feel.  I don't know how often that's looked at or discussed, so I hope the book does open that up a little bit.”  Episode Description: We begin with Beverly's description of her early years of feeling lost and the consequent self-destructive patterns she replayed. Years of sensation-seeking led her to become "exhausted, limp, tarnished, and each time, more profoundly lost." She "landed on an analyst's couch in Little Venice, a section of London. I was paying for someone to recognize me. She did." Beverly shares her analytic journey with us and how vital her discovery of 'kindness' was, first from the outside and then from within. We discuss the early death of her father, her mother's depression and the devotion of her older brother.  She closes with "Like life, psychoanalysis is a continuing process. It doesn't stop...issues crop up, new feelings arise...we better understand what those feelings are telling us, and how to make use of them in an environment we have been able to choose for ourselves. And so it goes…"   Our Guest:  Beverly Kolsky, MSW has worked as a psychotherapist for more than forty years both in America and in England.  She trained as a psychoanalyst with the New York Institute for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology also and received training in London where she worked under the auspices of the Tavistock Clinic and the Institute of Marital Studies. Her work has been published in two journals:  Mind Consiliums and Voices: Art and Science of Psychotherapy. She had two psychoanalytic experiences in two countries with analysts of two different orientations. Her motivation for writing the book as a memoir was to let others in the community know the transformative and enduring power of psychoanalysis. She was in private practice in Englewood, N.J. and now lives, mostly retired, in the northern Adirondacks.   Recommended Readings: Jung, C.G. 1963. Memories, Dreams, Reflections.

What happens when two lifelong outdoorsmen follow a braided Adirondack stream to a beaver dam—hook a bass—and the forest erupts? In this high-intensity episode, Tim and Eric Vogel revisit a harrowing 2013 encounter: two trees shaking like snow globes, a nonstop roar that thumped their chests, and the chilling realization they'd crashed a Sasquatch fishing operation. We also dive into a class-A moment at Balance Rock in Savoy State Forest in Massachusetts—an eight-to-nine-foot figure, a 17.5-inch track, and a warning roar that followed the team back in—plus a daytime “white Bigfoot” sighting along Cobble Mountain Reservoir, and a remote Connecticut ridge where a siren-like scream lit up the night before a rock crashed through the canopy. If you've ever wondered what happens when Bigfoot doesn't want you there…this one's for you.Resources: https://www.facebook.com/thevogelbrothersCobble Mountain Critter Project on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559204812849Cobble Mountain Critter Festival on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Cobble-Mountain-Critter-Festival-61563987231526/STM documentary on Savoy State Forest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoUFW4Crkko

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.
