Rosemary Misdary, WNYC and Gothamist health & science reporter, explains the statewide ballot question about preservation in the Adirondacks and expanding skiing facilities.

(Oct 24, 2025) Gov. Kathy Hochul is weighing whether to sign legislation that would allow someone with a terminal illness to end their life; after workers with newly remote jobs left cities for the countryside during the pandemic, some who moved to the North Country are still here;  and John Warren checks on trail conditions in the Adirondacks.

(Oct 24, 2025) On today's Story of the Day, we hear from both sides of the debate over whether to legalize physician-assisted death in New York state. Also, a green group in the Adirondacks is pausing its plan to change the name of a mountain it says is derogatory.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine, First, Mark Dunlea talks to the Executive Director of Protect the Adirondacks about the upcoming vote on Proposition One, a proposal from an amendment to Article 14 that protects against construction on select natural areas within the 6 million acre park. Then, Sina Basila Hickey talks campaign goals with Phil DiLorenzo, the candidate on the Democratic and Working Families Party line in the upcoming election for Troy City Council District 1 Later on, Willie Terry continues his coverage on the NoKings Protest from October 18th And in our last segment, we hear about the importance of language preservation in Mohican Culture Hosted By: Jacob Boston, Richard Sleeper.

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.

(Oct 17, 2025) Gov. Hochul wrote a letter last week expressing interest in the state purchasing 32,000 acres of the Whitney estate in the Adirondacks; we meet an elementary school librarian in Malone who doesn't think her library should be quiet; and Catherine Wheeler and a friend hike up Jay Mountain for some fall leaf-peeping.

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. 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. Sustainable Practices: Brandon manages pollinators and solar farms for sustainability. Efficiency in Hunting: Reduces hunting sits by strategic planning based on behavior. Personal Anecdotes: Brandon shares stories illustrating his method's effectiveness. Community Engagement: Engages with hunters via social media and educational resources. Conservation Efforts: Balances hunting with environmental stewardship. Educational Resources: Offers content to help hunters improve skills and understanding. Show Our Supporters Some Love!

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. Thus begins a tale of abduction, Amber Alerts, and a horrific discovery in a nearby wooded pond area. This case is not for the faint of heart but then again, neither are we. As always, thanks for joining us and please stay safe out there!

(Oct 10, 2025) Director Dianne Dreyer brings three performances of Ephron's play "Love, Loss, and What I Wore" to North Creek and Glens Falls this weekend

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

(Oct 6, 2025) This year marks 25 years since the creation of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740-mile route that connects the Adirondacks to northern Maine; New York State won't be facing major federal cuts to their counterterrorism budgets after President Trump's administration reversed course; and every fall, a band of dancing witches descends on the southern and central Adirondacks. 

(Oct 6, 2025) This year marks 25 years since the creation of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740-mile canoe route from the Adirondacks to northern Maine that unites people who love to paddle. We hear about its history. Also: Gov. Hochul has named Mark Hall from southern St. Lawrence County as the new board chair of the Adirondack Park Agency.

“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

(Oct 2, 2025) It can be tricky to earn a living while running a seasonal tourism business. A Schroon Lake couple is trying to make it work to be in a place they love; a "tree rodeo" is being held in New York, perhaps for the first time, and it's happening here in the North Country; as the fall colors are hitting their peak, we take a walk along the Bloomingdale Bog trail in the Adirondacks; we preview the adventurous fall lineup at Lake Flower Landing in Saranac Lake.

Microplastics are a widespread, ubiquitous environmental contamination. The Adirondack park is one of the most pristine parts of our state, but even those gorgeous mountains are not safe from the microplastics brought in by hikers and their gear. Dr. Joe Dadey, executive director of Adirondack Hamlets to Huts, and Dr. Tim K. Keyes of Evergreen Business Analytics researched these findings and shared their conclusions in a report (see link below) as they spoke about this with Mark Dunlea and Benno Greene about the report they created.

       Brian was a young man who had always been drawn to the wild. From the time he was a boy wandering the shaded trails of the Adirondacks and Allegheny Mountains, he had felt something stirring in the silence of the trees.        There was peace in those forests—the chirping of warblers, the rustle of leaves, the hidden creeks whispering under mossy stones—but also something deeper, something more elusive, a call that seemed to rise out of the land itself. It was more than adventure he was seeking. It was a truth hidden beneath bark and soil, a secret that waited at the edges of every trail.Check out Bigfootswilderness.com as I have recently re-launched the site. Also, I'm writing a book. More to come. 

Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer BrillSpencer Brill is an indie alternative singer songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. He's a baker, he's a community builder, and a lover of all things music.I'm a singer songwriter born in NYC, but grew up in way upstate NY near Canada - had a band in high school, played shows in upstate NY in the Adirondacks. Moved back to NYC as an adult in 2012. Lived in Brooklyn, had a love/hate relationship with NYC and was struggling. I decided to start a baking business (a coconut macaroon company) in Brooklyn, launched into holiday markets and ecommerce and sold 50,000+ macaroons in 7 weeks. The woman who would be my wife came through as a customer at the holiday market, took my card, looked me up and we've been married for 7 years. Before that I was in a relationship with someone who wasn't supportive of music making, so I took a pause for a few years. 2020 - I was hospitalized for a week with Covid. Changed my perspective on life, and how short it can be. Watched some horrible things occur in the hospital room with me. I survived, dove into music production and learning to take songwriting/production seriously. I released songs, built a killer band in NYC, and have played all over the city. 2 years later, doctors found a benign golf-ball sized tumor in my lower spine. Got half of it removed, and after facing death again, I put even more energy into the things I love and the passion I have for other people, making art that moves people, and building community. I was at a songwriting retreat recently in Dublin Ireland that gave me incredible clarity on what I wanted to pursue. I love talking music, songwriting, baking, NYC, and can wax poetic about most topics. I offer a perspective of a survivor of a few close calls and the joy of art making and the self-reflection that those two encompass.Link:https://spencerbrill.com/https://www.instagram.com/spencerbrillmusicTags:Artist,Live Music,Music,Musician,Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer Brill,Live Video Podcast Interview,Podcast,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcast,PodmatchSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

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.

True Crime Tuesday presents: Please Don't Lie! w/ Christina Baker Kline and Anne Burt! Two years ago, Hayley Stone lost everything. First, her parents died in a devastating fire. Then, her sister overdosed, leaving Hayley alone and hounded by a media circus that turned her family's tragedy into tabloid fodder. When her new husband suggests a fresh start in the Adirondacks, the promise of anonymity in an isolated mountain town feels like salvation. But the mountains hold darker secrets than she ever imagined. Her once-loving husband grows distant and volatile. The widow down the road keeps spewing vague accusations. Not even their new friends—a free-spirited couple living on the property—can help Hayley shake the creeping sense that something is off. As winter edges closer, Hayley discovers that her sanctuary is anything but safe. Trapped and isolated, she faces a terrifying truth: in trying to escape her past, she may have run straight into something far more dangerous. On Today's TCT, We sit down with Christina and Anne to talk about Hayleyley's family secrets, the strange relationship she maintains with her new husband Brandon, why her friend Emily suspects there is danger ahead in her new marriage, and we discuss why a new friendship is incredibly fruitful yet suspicious to Hayley!
