(Aug 27, 2026) As rural healthcare struggles nationwide, Clifton-Fine Hospital, the smallest hospital in the state, has found a way to survive and add new services; a musician from Jefferson County says he has an unlikely figure to thank for his career; and we go to Blue Mountain Lake for a preview of a musical that's taking its show on the road across the Adirondacks.

A controversial family photo went viral on X, and the reaction exposed something deeper than an argument over adoption.Why were some people who consider themselves conservative accusing a Christian family of betraying their own race because they adopted two children? Why did people read sinister motives into an ordinary family photograph? And what does this reveal about the direction of the online Right?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines the controversy surrounding a family with one biological daughter and two adopted sons, and argues that some online conservatives are losing the very principles they claim to defend.Adoption is not about abandoning your family or your society. It can be an expression of responsibility, paternalism, Christian charity, and a willingness to shoulder burdens for the sake of children and the community. The adopted children in this case were American children who came through the Nevada foster care system, not foreign children imported into the country.Jon also discusses:• Why adopted children should be treated as genuine members of the family• The Christian significance of adoption• How social media encourages paranoia and impulsive reactions• Why conservatism requires realism rather than utopian thinking• The relationship between adoption, family, and social stability• Why paternalism is not the same thing as cruelty• The Christian understanding of masculine strength and responsibility• The Western tradition of paternal responsibility• Why Christians should think about preserving society while also caring for vulnerable childrenThe larger question is simple: **What exactly are we trying to conserve?**Jon also shares an encouraging story from a recent visit to Word of Life in the Adirondacks and reflects on why Christians should not assume that Christianity is disappearing simply because the internet makes everything look like a crisis.This is a discussion about adoption, conservatism, Christianity, masculinity, paternalism, social media, and the responsibility we have toward the people and communities we will leave to the next generation.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Episode Overview In this nostalgic episode, host Larry Weishuhn sits down around the mic with his longtime friend Jim Zumbo. Zumbo is a legendary outdoorsman, author, and the former long-time hunting editor for Outdoor Life magazine. The two swap stories from decades of shared adventures, reflecting on the evolution of the outdoor industry, memorable hunts, and the chaotic fun of their early promotional tours. The Colorado Moose Hunt: Jim recounts drawing a rare, once-in-a-lifetime moose tag in Colorado. Early in the hunt, he passed on a massive 50-inch bull because it was standing too close to an active camp of elk hunters. On the final day, wanting to bring home the meat, Jim ended up shooting a much smaller bull. Ironically, he later found out that a chiropractor from Boulder harvested the exact same giant bull he had walked away from. NRA Great American Hunters Tour: Larry and Jim reminisce about traveling across the country together in a van for the NRA. They recall the grueling yet hilarious realities of the tour, which included speaking at unconventional venues like a freezing ice-skating rink in West Virginia. They also share a comical incident in California where they thought their blue van was stolen, only to eventually realize the parking garage's yellow lighting had created an optical illusion, making the van look white. Historic Writer's Camps: The pair discusses the wild, early days of outdoor media gatherings, specifically a 30-person camp at Tony Knight's farmhouse in Illinois. This event featured outdoor industry pioneers like Bill Jordan and marked the first major industry appearance of Jim Shockey, who famously showed up in a solid white hunting suit. The Genesis of a Writing Career: Jim shares the origin of his prolific career, which includes authoring over 20 books. While attending forestry school in the Adirondacks, he shot a legendary local buck named "Old Joe" and wrote about it for the student newspaper. Encouraged by a professor to write for a wider audience, he pitched an ice-fishing story to Outdoor Life, launching a massive career in outdoor journalism. Upcoming Adventures: Wrapping up the episode, Jim talks about his upcoming participation in the prestigious One Shot Antelope Hunt in Lander, Wyoming. He will be hunting on a team alongside close friends, including Rick Lambert. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if sheep could help preserve farmland, support renewable energy, and make family farming more sustainable?We're kicking off our Women in Agriculture series with Rebekah Pierce, co-owner of J&R Pierce Family Farm in West Chazy, New York. Rebekah and her husband, Josh, never planned to become farmers.

Shipwreck welcomes Bigfoot specialist Snake, who claims to have found and preserved an actual specimen in the Adirondacks, and the conversation goes places you would not expect. They compare his find to the legendary Giant of Kandahar, debate Nephilim theories, and get into the government attention, harassment, and outright threats he says followed once he went public at the New York State Fair.

This week I'm talking to Mike Clelland about UFOs, owls and high strangeness. Mike Clelland's 2015 book, The Messengers, was met with high praise. In it he explores the mysterious connection between owls, synchronicities, and UFO abduction. It was his first-hand experiences with these elusive events that have been the foundation for his research. The book is also a personal memoir, and a journey of self discovery. The Owls Owls seem to a play a shadowy role in the UFO contact experience. They also show up in relation to highly charged events like synchronicities, ancient archetypes, dreams, shamanic initiation, magic, psychedelic hallucination, spiritual transformation, and death. I explore the owl and its connection with these divergent ideas in The Messengers, my first book on UFOs. That book was also my own story of how owls played a role in my life. It was an exploration into the deeply personal questions that arose from my contact experiences. The process of creation was a journey of transformation, and I was a different person when the book was completed. The Journey I've come to see the entirety of these experiences as both real and unreal. It's as if reality itself is acting as a metaphor, and it's happening for some profound reason. The reason is to wake me up, to make certain that I open my eyes. I'll also say that all these experiences, or maybe the intelligence behind them, have conspired to make me write these books. That's a bold thing to say, but that's how it feels. I have tried to let go and allow the deeper stories to emerge. Like sleeping under the stars on a desert night, this work has been an act of surrendering. Mike is also considered an expert in the skills of ultralight backpacking, and is the author and illustrator of a series of instructional books on advanced outdoor techniques. After 25 years living in the Rockies, he now lives in the Adirondacks.   The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee Without question, this is a classic by one of the most exciting new authors in the UFO field today. After reading it, your view of reality will never be the same. The owl has held a place of reverence and mystique throughout history. And as strange as this might seem, owls are also showing up in conjunction with the UFO experience. Mike Clelland has collected a wealth of first-hand accounts in which owls manifest in the highly charged moments that surround alien contact. There is a strangeness to these accounts that defy simple explanations. This book explores implications that go far beyond what more conservative researchers would dare consider. But the owl connection encompasses more than the UFO experience. It also includes profound synchronicities, ancient archetypes, dreams, shamanistic experiences, personal transformation, and death. From the mythic legends of our ancient past to the first-hand accounts of the UFO abductee, owls are playing some vital role. This is also a deeply personal story. It is an odyssey of self-discovery as the author grapples with his own owl and UFO encounters. What plays out is a story of transformation with the owl at the heart of this journey. https://www.amazon.com/Messengers-Owls-Synchronicity-UFO-Abductee-ebook/dp/B08J8BSPTC Stories from The Messengers: Accounts of Owls, UFOs and a Deeper Reality This is a companion to the groundbreaking ideas that began with Mike Clelland's earlier book, The Messengers. It is a further exploration into the connection, both symbolic and literal, between owls and UFOs. There is a strangeness to these accounts that defies any simple explanation. Each chapter tells a deeply personal story where these mysterious experiences are explored in depth. The book reads like a collection of short stories. The ancient mythology of the owl is repeating itself within the modern UFO report. What plays out is a journey of transformation, with an owl at the heart of each story. https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Messengers-Accounts-Deeper-Reality-ebook/dp/B08GH6GL9Z/ https://messengersthebooks.com/ https://mikeclelland.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcasthttps://simonbown.com/My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_ufo Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Get the latest updates from our LinkedIn page! https://onelink.to/treesandlinesWelcome back to another episode of the Trees & Lines podcast. Mariclaire Rigby, Principal Vegetation Strategy Specialist at National Grid, joins us to discuss how transmission rights of way can be managed as thriving ecosystems rather than just clearance corridors. Mariclaire traces her career from patrolling the Adirondacks after the 2003 northeast blackout to leading vegetation strategy across New Hampshire and Vermont, and shares how National Grid has built one of the more comprehensive IVM programs in the industry over decades of consistent right of way management.The conversation covers National Grid's shift to annual LiDAR patrols and the real learning curve that comes with getting useful deliverables from vendors, why fixed wing collection worked better than helicopter for their vegetation needs, and how four to six week turnaround on flight data has changed the way consultants and crews work together in the field. Mariclaire also walks through the company's multi-year biotic study tracking plant and insect species on the right of way, how that data has updated treatment specs and identified emerging invasive species, and why bringing conservation groups out to see IVM work firsthand has been one of the most effective tools for shifting public perception. She also touches on National Grid's Monarch City USA participation, her recent commercial drone license, workforce pipeline concerns, and emerging research into how prevailing wind patterns affect tree-caused outages.Have a listen, hope you enjoy!#VegetationManagement #UtilityArboriculture #IVM #GridReliability #UtilityOperations #UrbanForestry #EnergyInfrastructure #Utilities Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailA 20K with nearly 8,000 feet of climbing shouldn't exist, and yet Whiteface Sky Race is about to make a whole field of strong runners question their life choices. Steve Taylor joins us from smoky Colorado Springs as we turn our full attention to Whiteface, the opener of the Merrill U.S. Skyrunner Circuit, and one of the steepest, most punishing race profiles you'll find in the United States. Two loops. A massive early climb that gains about 3,000 feet in 2.5 miles. Long stretches that flirt with 30% to 40% grade. No hiding from it.We talk through what that terrain demands, from steep hiking strength and leg durability to the psychology of being told to go do it all again for lap two. The Adirondacks and Lake Placid backdrop get their own moment too, because this region's rugged trails, wet technical footing, and big-mountain feel are exactly why this race belongs on a skyrunning calendar. If you're the kind of trail runner who loves “kick you in the teeth” courses, Whiteface is the blueprint.Then we get tactical: Morgan Elliott's form and résumé, who might hang on early, and the under-the-radar names that could surprise when the grade turns brutal. On the women's side we spotlight Robin Vierre-Brower, dig into challengers, and talk winning-time expectations. We also look ahead to the season stakes and the Kismet Cliff Run final on September 13 in North Conway, New Hampshire. Subscribe, share this with your mountain running crew, and leave a review.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine we feature a special episode featuring a community reading of Frederick Douglass's speech commonly known as “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” This community reading took place at The Sanctuary for Independent Media on February 28, 2026 in partnership with Underground Railroad Education Center (UREC), with moderation from historian Lacey Wilson, Teen Museum Studies Program Manager of UREC. She was joined in a panel discussion by UREC Co-Founder Paul Stewart and Charles Clark III, the curator of The Black Experience in the Adirondacks exhibition at the Adirondack Experience, The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake. Thanks to all who participated in this reading!

In the summer of 1906, a young factory worker named Grace Brown disappeared during a romantic getaway to the Adirondacks with her secret lover, Chester Gillette. Days later, her body was pulled from the depths of Big Moose Lake, launching one of America's first media frenzies. More than a century later, the mystery, the trial, and the ghostly legends surrounding the lake continue to haunt New York's North Country.
