Ken and Lima take stock of how fan sentiment has shifted overnight on the Myles Garrett trade, with analytics people and national insiders calling it a good haul while Ken admits he was too emotionally close to see it clearly in the moment. The Jared Verse conversation gets more interesting as Ken points out something he did not account for initially: Verse is a self-made guy who started at Albany, transferred to Florida State, and brings exactly the locker room sheriff energy that Myles never provided, which could matter more than people realize once the quarterback eventually arrives. Ken also takes a gentle shot at Adam Schefter for tweeting that Verse is coming home to Cleveland when Dayton is genuinely closer to Cincinnati and Indianapolis than it is to Cleveland, and the whole segment turns into a fun geography lesson about how little national media understands Ohio. Ken closes exactly where he has been all morning: this is a necessary day, not a positive day, and the quarterback who will eventually make it all worth it is probably still waking up for college workouts right now.

Ken and Lima spend the morning processing the trade from every angle and the mood slowly starts to lift, helped along by the analytics case for Verse being genuinely elite and a fun social media moment where Verse updates his bio to linebacker and immediately wins over the fan base. Ken makes the point that Verse's pass rush win rate numbers since 2024 rank third in the entire NFL behind only Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett, which means the Browns did not just get a compensatory pick in human form, they got a legitimate weapon. The locker room conversation comes up again with a caller making the case that Verse's self-made background from Albany to Florida State to the Rams suggests a guy who is going to bring exactly the accountability and dog mentality that Myles never consistently provided. Ken closes on the most honest note of the whole morning, describing the picture he took of his son Axel as a toddler in a Browns jersey during the Johnny Manziel era and saying the same thought that has haunted him ever since: they have got to get this quarterback thing right.

(Jun 2, 2026) Republicans are largely shut out of state budget talks in Albany. State Senator Dan Stec has a lot of criticisms of the new $268 billion package, but he praises a delay for schools to transition to all-electric buses. Also: Tens of thousands of motorcyclists gathered in the Adirondacks this weekend for Americade. We get a slice of the rumble of motors at a motorcycle stunt show.

Thom Francis welcomes poet, author, and artist Elizabeth Gordon who shared her work at the Year in Review event at The Linda, WAMC's Performing Arts Center in Albany on December 17, 2022. +++++ Since 2021, the Hudson Valley Writers Guild has hosted the Year in Review poetry event to highlight the poets and writers in the area while looking back at the year that was. In 2022, I was joined on stage by five other local writers for the second annual Year in Review at the Linda, WAMC's Performing Arts Studio. Today we are going to hear from one of those writers - poet, author, educator, and artist Elizabeth Gordon. Elizabeth K. Gordon is a college literature instructor based in Cohoes, New York, and the author of two books: Love Cohoes and Walk with Us. A pioneer in the local poetry scene, she was a member of the Capital District's first slam team, the Nitty Gritty Slam, representing them at the National Poetry Slam and the Women of the World Poetry Slam (WOWPS). Later, she competed at WOWPS on behalf of New York City's Urbana Slam. Beyond performing, Elizabeth has served as a writing coach and mentor, most recently guiding Troy's Café Euphoria slam team. In addition to her literary work, she is also a painter specializing in abstract art. Local poet Dan Wilcox wrote on his blog about the reading: “Elizabeth Gordon, otherwise known on the Slam circuit as Elizag, not surprisingly brought the performance level up a few more notches with her pieces of radical social engagement, such as her opening piece beginning “It was the Summer tuna cost less than cat food…” & a meditation on shopping with her younger self. She too had a poem about her cellphone, & another an “Ode to My Painting Pants,” followed by the linking alliteration of a poem on Putin. She ended with a poem from memory in her best Slam performance style, “A Hiding Place,” on the shooting at a gay bar in Orlando.”

A father and his four-year-old child, Alexander and Alexandra, were abducted off of North Lake Ave in Albany and taken to the ICE headquarters at 11 Old Stonebreak Road, Malta NY. ICE agents had been staking out the neighborhood for some days. Hearing that this family was facing immediate removal to Texas and then to Venezuela, Capital Region Sanctuary Coalition organizers moved quickly and rallied allies outside the headquarters. The next day over fifty neighbors gathered on the corner of Lake Ave and Central Ave in Albany, to denounce ICE and deportations and to amplify rapid response mobilizations against raids and abductions like this. Sal Rochelle spoke with Jahaira and Amanda from CRSC about their work.

On May 29th and 30th, more than a dozen rallies were held across New York State to urge lawmakers to adopt the full New York For All Act to prohibit collusion between local police and ICE. While immigrant groups were generally thankful for the package of immigrant protections included in the recent state budget, they fell short of the proposals that advocates have been pushing. A rally was held outside the state Capitol in Albany, primarily organized by the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement (CCSM) and local Indivisible groups. We start with the last minute of the opening remarks by emcee Iridian Ricobono Lucas of CCSM .We also hear from Karmran Jahanshahi of Indivisible ADK/Saratoga, Dawedo Sanon of CCSM and Assemblymembers Jeffrey Dinowitz and Linda Rosenthal.

Horses graze on grass and plants, not trees, because their digestive tracts—shared by equids, tapirs, and rhinoceroses—cannot digest wood. Unlike ruminants (cattle, deer, goats), they avoid lignin. When starving, however, horses may eat almost anything, which is why some plants and trees become toxic. The goal of this podcast is not to make you plant and tree experts, but to help you appreciate two key principles of horse care: always provide adequate protein and forage, and proactively remove any potentially harmful vegetation before curious horses can reach it. Your horse's health depends on your attention to these crucial details. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984. Over the years, Geoff went from mucking stalls as a farmhand to starting his own equine practice. This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and also in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast. Geoff also spent time working at the Equine Isolation Lab with respected colleagues, including Dr. Coggins, whose name is on the well-known test. He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

On the Comedy Corner this week we had the hilarious Terrence Green with host Tyler Artis to talk about the Pride Extravaganza he's performing on. We talked about performing during pride and some Juneteenth talk sprinkled in there. It's a fun conversation with some laughs.

When federal investigators found illegal images on a hard drive connected to Keith Raniere, every person charged alongside him moved for a plea deal. He went to trial alone — and lost on every count.For twenty years, NXIVM presented itself as a personal development organization headquartered outside Albany, New York. Executive Success Programs offered multi-day intensives that cost thousands of dollars. A colored-sash hierarchy tracked members' ranks. Recruitment drove advancement. The Bronfman heiresses reportedly invested over $100 million. At its peak the organization counted approximately 700 active members, including a prominent television actress who served as a key recruiter.What prosecutors revealed at trial was a criminal enterprise. A secret inner circle called DOS operated a master-slave hierarchy. Women were branded with Raniere's initials, controlled through compromising collateral, placed on extreme diets, and allegedly coerced. Seven federal counts were brought against Raniere, from racketeering to forced labor conspiracy to trafficking. The fraud charge alone included eleven racketeering acts.In June 2019, the jury returned guilty verdicts on all seven counts. Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in federal prison. The organization was dissolved in 2021. Its campus was seized and sold in 2025 for $700,000 — less than what some members paid in course fees over a lifetime.This is part one of a four-part Hidden Killers series on NXIVM and Keith Raniere.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every person charged alongside Keith Raniere took a deal. Every single one. When they learned what was on his hard drive, the plea agreements came fast. He was the only one who maintained nothing was wrong.NXIVM operated for two decades out of suburban Albany, New York, disguised as a self-improvement company called Executive Success Programs. Members paid thousands for courses, wore colored sashes to mark their rank, and advanced by recruiting others. The Seagram's heiresses Clare and Sara Bronfman became its biggest financial backers, reportedly funneling over $100 million into the organization. Actress Allison Mack became a central recruiter. At its height, NXIVM had around 700 members.Federal prosecutors proved all of it — the courses, the hierarchy, the celebrity endorsements — was the exterior of a machine built to funnel money, labor, and people to one man. Raniere created a secret inner circle where women were branded, coerced through collateral, and controlled. The superseding indictment charged him with seven counts: racketeering, wire fraud conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, trafficking, and more.June 2019: guilty on all seven. October 2020: sentenced to 120 years. Projected release date: 2120. NXIVM dissolved. The campus sold for $700,000.

(May 21, 2026) A police training program in the Adirondacks is helping law enforcement build trust with the communities they serve; each year, restaurants and businesses from New York City pack up their products and head to the State Capitol in Albany; and we preview the newest season of NCPR's storytelling podcast The Howl Podcast.

(May 21, 2026) A police training program in the Adirondacks is trying to build trust between officers and the communities they serve. It combines training in de-escalation and bias awareness with conversations about the emotional toll of police work. Also: Every year, restaurants and other businesses from New York City pack up their products and head to the state Capitol in Albany.

Science relies on asking questions, testing them, obtaining answers, and questioning those answers again. Scientists never settle; their curiosity drives them to consider all possibilities, regardless of prior beliefs. There is never a final answer—only answers that are close. This approach depends on continuous inquiry and skepticism. Horse owners are not scientists, and they are not trained to perform "research." Instead, they, and in fact the scientists themselves, are people who have evolved to work towards "social acceptance" as a means to survive harsh conditions that existed for millions of years. Believing other people who appeared to know things you didn't know is a natural phenomenon - people don't want to "rock the boat." The result is the formation of a social identity that gives us stability within a group. Examples include people in horse sports such as reining, dressage, eventing, or racing. Other examples are in differing opinions about treatments or care. This podcast discusses how scientific studies have rules to prevent bias, steering researchers towards a more accurate answer to their question (hypothesis). Unfortunately, untrained people are unable to see when scientific rules are broken, making the results of studies, especially nutritional studies about horses, unreliable when reported by the press. Worse is when those magazines are funded by advertisements that support the outcomes they promote. Hopefully, through this podcast, horse owners will become aware and keep asking questions until the foundational truths about our horses' health are discovered. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984. Over the years, Geoff went from mucking stalls as a farmhand to starting his own equine practice. This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and also in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast. Geoff also spent time working at the Equine Isolation Lab with respected colleagues, including Dr. Coggins, whose name is on the well-known test. He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

Dan Wilcox of Veterans for Peace talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine about why they annually participate in Albany's Memorial Day Parade.

The Pine Bush is a unique ecosystem, important to protecting many species of plants and animals. The endangered karner blue butterfly relies on the blue lupin for survival. Prescribed fires is one way that this ecosystem thrives. Neil A. Gifford, Conservation Director at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve, spoke with Sina Basila Hickey for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Key Outcomes Scott Sullivan and John Spencer (Discipleship Team Leader at Sherwood Baptist  Church in Albany, GA) introduced FORMED, A Discipleship Culture Blueprint, a new resource developed over 2.5 years to help Georgia Baptist churches create disciple-making cultures rather than programs. This resource addresses the core question: How do we reach new people, connect them to the church, move them to spiritual maturity,  and launch them to multiply. Resource Overview FORMED Structure: • Four core elements: Real Relationships, Transformational Teaching, Disciple Making Environments, and Intentional Multiplication • Built from dozens of pastor roundtables identifying common church struggles. • Developed by Scott Sullivan, Ray Sullivan (now Pastor at First Waycross), and PJ  Dunn (overseeing Revitalization at the Georgia Baptist Mission Board) • Will be taught through six regional cohorts led by trained leaders, including John. Key Definitions: • Culture: The shared expression of beliefs, values, and rhythms that define an  organization's identity; "how it feels" rather than just mission or vision• Disciple (Georgia Baptist definition): A committed, passionate follower of Jesus  Christ, based on 2 Timothy 2:1-7's four generations of disciples and three-word pictures (soldier, athlete, farmer) Critical Leadership Questions Three essential questions every pastor should answer: • Do we have a culture of discipleship, and is it working? • Do you have a definition of a biblical disciple for your people? • Does the culture and success of the ministry depend solely on you as the leader? Core Principle: "I hope so is not a strategy" - churches cannot keep running the same play if it's not helping them win. Real Relationships Framework Foundation: Jesus invited disciples into a relationship ("follow me"), not a program - discipleship happens best within relational contexts. The Rebar Principle:• Like rebar tied together before concrete is poured creates tensile strength,  intentionally tied relationships provide reinforcement when storms come • Without tied relationships, ministry cracks under pressure • You cannot pour ministry on top of relationships you never tied together 2:00 AM Friendships: • Deep, loyal, hesed-type Old Testament connections that never walk away • Many mature believers lack these foundational relationships Sherwood Church Model Disciple Definition at Sherwood: Know Christ, Love God, Unite with Believers, Serve the World, and Entrust the Gospel - visible everywhere (classrooms, atrium, new member materials) to maintain cultural focus. Sherwood on Mission Class: • Equips members to live gospel-centered lives daily, not just share gospel facts • Most valuable component: hearing stories of others interacting with people in their  zones (work, home, neighborhood) • Available to share with other churches upon request Practical Implementation: • Michael Catt established Wednesday morning Cracker Barrel group with 5-6 men  who could speak candidly into his leadership • Prayer walking neighborhoods with an online sign-up chart tracking coverage across  Albany • Daily Bible reading groups (using MacArthur Daily Bible) meeting at 6:00 AM Overcoming Barriers to Connection Common Church Barriers: • Poor or insufficient signage around campus • Greeters who overwhelm rather than read people appropriately • "Holy huddles" that look inward rather than outward • Inadequate nursery facilities that parents don't trust • Inefficient processes (coffee stations, check-in) that create frustration. Key Insight: Confused people don't move; they wander - clear signage and processes are essential. Cultural Shift Required: • People want to be noticed, not just noted (Luke 19 - Jesus didn't just see  Zacchaeus, he went to his house) • New member classes must set expectations: "Your job as a disciple-maker is to  welcome people to your life, not just your seat." • Tell stories constantly - in baptisms, classrooms, social media, pulpit - to inspire and  give ideas Intentionality Over RandomnessMinistry Trap Warning: The managerial trap of settling to manage people rather than shepherd and disciple them - easier to manage groups than invest intimately in messy lives. Personal Disciplines for Leaders: • Start with personal abiding - "I can't lead what I don't do." • Distinguish between being in the Bible for your people (sermon prep) versus being in  the Bible for yourself • Pray specifically: "Lord, who do I invite in?" • Most successful ministry comes from one-on-one, one-on-two investments over time. Example: John invested ten years in a man who came hungover most mornings; now that man is leading a college ministry. Multiplication Mindset: • Invite younger leaders into discipleship groups to pass the torch • Equip them to replicate: "Now you go find some guys." • Story: A man moving to North Carolina took extra MacArthur Daily Bibles to start  groups there Practical Opportunities Beyond Sunday Services: • Partner with existing community services (food banks, deliveries) • Prayer walks in neighborhoods • Student car washes • Leverage natural contexts (pickleball example: introvert wife built new friendships,  led couple to church, provided support during medical crisis) Church Facility Design: North Metro Church built a massive foyer/mall effect holding 500 people, transforming culture by giving space for pre-service connection rather than herding people like cattle. Action Items • Georgia Baptist Mission Board Discipleship Team: Launch FORMED resource by the end of April, release four podcast episodes every two weeks for cohesive learning • Regional leaders (including John): Prepare to lead cohorts using  an overview/introduction approach (Matthew Gibb's piece to be distributed) • Churches interested in Sherwood's On Mission materials: Contact John Spencer at johns@sherwoodbaptist.net for manual/digital copies Closing Principle "A church that is easy to attend but hard to connect in will always struggle to multiply.  Bet the farm on relationships - Jesus did."

This week, Mayor Mamdani unveiled his executive budget, turning a projected multibillion-dollar deficit into a balanced plan without major service cuts, a property tax hike, or tapping a rainy-day fund. The plan relies largely on help from Albany and a $2.3 billion pension plan restructuring that would push costs from 2032 to 2037, but it still requires approval from the state, retirement funds and unions. The city budget must also still be negotiated with the City Council. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza, and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down what's in, what's out, and how the mayor got it done. After that, the re-introduced Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, or COPA, would give some nonprofit groups the first chance to buy certain distressed multifamily buildings. Supporters, including Council member Sandy Nurse, say the proposal would help preserve affordability. Opponents say it may be illegal. The "Off Topic" team looks at the bill, which was vetoed by former Mayor Eric Adams and has now been revived despite fierce opposition from the real estate industry.

Mayor Mamdani has released his executive budget.
