Podcasts about Amherst

In the 1870s, a quiet home in Amherst, Nova Scotia, became the center of one of the most famous poltergeist hauntings in North American history. Esther Cox, a young woman living in the house, was plagued by violent knocks, moving objects, and attacks by an unseen force. The haunting drew reporters, investigators, and skeptics from across Canada. In this episode, we revisit the strange case of the Great Amherst Mystery.

In the summer of 1878, eighteen-year-old Esther Cox was assaulted at gunpoint by a male acquaintance, leaving the Nova Scotia teenager traumatized and afraid. In the days that followed, Esther and those with whom she shared a house in rural Amherst began to notice unusual things occurring around the house including knocking on the walls and floors, objects flying around the house, and Esther suffering frequent seizures without any apparent cause.In the months and years that followed, the “Great Amherst Mystery,” as it came to be known, was investigated by various clergy, scientists, and paranormal investigators, all intent on proving or disproving the poltergeist activity. While none of the investigators were ever able to identify the origins of the haunting in the Cox house, the attention made Esther a prominent national figure in spiritualist circles until several bad experiences led her to flee Canada for good several years later.Thank you to the incredible Dave White for research and writing assistance!ReferencesAllen, Alexander. 1970.

What happens when a sleepless baby, a Victorian fixer-upper, and a vineyard come together? For Richard Moran, it sparked a multi-year journey of transformation—from corporate boardrooms to wine country. Along the way, he discovered lessons about serendipity, risk-taking, family, and building a place that lasts for generations. In today's conversation, Richard shares his story of balancing a high-flying consulting career with the slower rhythms of grapevines, why creating a family gathering place matters in retirement, and the life lessons he lives by. _______________________ Bio Richard Moran is the author of The Accidental Vineyard: An Old House, New Vines, and a Changed Life in Wine Country. Besides being a winemaker and a preservationist, Richard Moran's background includes serving as a CEO, a college president, a venture capitalist and an author he is an authority on workplace issues and hosts a weekly radio program on KCBS, "In the Workplace" and has written ten books about management. Rich has also served as a director on public and private corporate boards. He lives in California's Wine Country. Moran has served as a CEO, a college president, a venture capitalist, and a top-level consultant. He is a set of one. He has worked for or with some of the world's leading organizations including Accenture, Apple, News Corp, American Airlines, PG&E and many others. He prides himself on his matter-of-fact manner of consulting and believes that many parts of the business world are needlessly complicated. Moran holds a Ph.D. in organization behavior but his work is not academic. Research is important but he believes what is just as critical are the observations one can make by being in the “trenches” _______________________ For More on Richard Moran The Accidental Vineyard: An Old House, New Vines, and a Changed Life in Wine Country _______________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like The Portfolio Life – Christina Wallace Edit Your Life – Elisabeth Sharp McKetta The Power of Reinvention – Joanne Lipman _______________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

Around this time every year, dozens of parents of high school prospects ask IL's Terry Foy some version of the question, "How does recruiting work?" In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with York head coach Brandon Childs. The first DIII coach Foy has brought on for this series (though Dan Kaplan has previously spoken to Amherst's Sean Woods and Dickinson's Dave Webster on the topic), Childs says he wears four hats in the recruiting space: college coach, club coach, dad and fan. They hit on all four topics, illustrating not just what makes Division III distinct from DI, but his broarder views on the topic.

Lisa Davidson is an ironworker with Local 377 San Francisco. Her team currently does ironwork on the Golden Gate Bridge. But we'll get to that. In this episode, S8 E3, meet and get to know Lisa. I first did that back in May at our Keep It Local art show at Babylon Burning (thanks, Mike and Judy!). Someone at the party that night approached me to let me know that there was a person there who works on the best bridge in the world (fact) and that I should meet them. I love when people really get me. Right away, I was drawn in by Lisa's warmth, charm, and sense of humor. And so we sat down outside in Fort Mason in early August and Lisa shared her life story. She was raised feeling like she had complete freedom. It was something Lisa didn't realize at the time, but looking back, it became clear to her. She was raised in Framingham, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, in a liberal household. Her grandparents lived in Boston itself, and she loved visiting them when she was a kid. Her grandfather ran a tchotchke store in town called House of Hurwitz, and Lisa says that the place had a big influence on her outlook. It was located on the edge of what they call, to this day, the “Combat Zone” (think: red-light district). Her “wheelin' and dealin'” grandpa sold mylar balloons to the Boston Gardens for events held there. He told young Lisa that she could blow up balloons and that that could be her future. Lisa has a brother four years younger than she is. Her dad was an electrician. One of his clients was a lithograph press in Boston. He'd sometimes get paged for a job and have to leave his family, although Lisa now wonders whether he just wanted to get away from time to time. When she was a senior in high school, her parents divorced, despite being a very loving couple up to that point. She says her mom was “crazy in an I Love Lucy way. She was raised in the Fifties the way many young women at that time were, in a way that did its best to stifle any creativity. Suffice to say that her mom had fun decorating the house Lisa grew up in. Despite her and her family's Jewishness, Lisa revolted and wanted to go to Catholic school or just become a preppy L.L. Bean-type kid. She of course regrets rejecting the norms of her family nowadays. It was what it was. The family was more culturally Jewish than religious, though, something Lisa says was a huge influence on who she's become as an adult. She graduated high school and went to college at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It wasn't Ivy League, but it was (and is) something of a preppy school. Where Lisa grew up, there was an expectation that kids would go to college, and so she went. It wasn't super far from home, but it wasn't close either. Her parents did suggest that Lisa maybe go to art school. But in her family, it was the kid dismissing that idea. “That's a not real school,” young Lisa told them. She liked sports. At Amherst, she joined the crew team. She liked the competition and how good of shape it got you in. She liked it, but it was a lot of pressure. She graduated, took a year off working odd jobs, then dove into art school. So next up was Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). She was surprised she got in, and even navigated a bit of impostor syndrome. Surprised by the school's acceptance of her and feeling somewhat intimidated by other artist students, Lisa ended up doing printmaking. Rather than aiming for a master's degree, she sought a second bachelor's. Her studies had her spending a lot of time in the school's foundry, where she discovered welding. She loved it. During her time back in Amherst, she'd heard of a guy who was going to Alaska. (Lisa and I go off-topic into our shared distaste for camping at this point in the conversation.) Back to the Alaska story, her mom was fully supportive and even took her shopping at an Army Navy store. She went there and worked in canneries through the summer between her junior and senior years at Amherst. While she was up north, doing jobs all over the state, she met folks from California. From the stories they told her, it became a place she wanted to go. But first, RISD. In Rhode Island, she met a guy from Danville in the East Bay. When his family learned of her interest in our state, they invited Lisa to spend a summer with them, which she did. And she and her friend came to The City as often as they could. After those few months, she knew that California—and specifically, The Bay—was for her. She needed to go back and finish that second round of college in Rhode Island, and she did. After that, Lisa “beelined it” back to Oakland. She found work in a prop shop making sculptures out of foam with a chainsaw. Check back this Thursday for Part 2 with Lisa Davidson.

Parenting doesn't end when your kids grow up — it just changes. And for many, that shift can be confusing, frustrating, and even painful. How do you move from being the authority to being a supportive "peer"? And what do you do when your hopes for your adult children don't align with who they've become? Today, we're joined by Dr. Francine Toder, a clinical psychologist to discuss her new book Your Kids are Grown: Parenting 2.0 - With Strategies for Moving On. Drawing on decades of research, therapy, and her own lived experience, Dr. Toder shares practical wisdom on how to navigate this often-overlooked stage of family life. You'll learn how to let go, listen with empathy, and focus on your own growth while building stronger, healthier relationships with your adult kids — and perhaps, rediscovering yourself in the process. Francine Toder joins us from California. __________________________ Bio Francine Toder, Ph.D. is an emeritus faculty member of California State University, Sacramento and is a clinical psychologist retired from private practice.

Nick Bromell is the author of By the Sweat of the Brow: Labor and Literature in Antebellum American Culture and Tomorrow Never Knows: Rock and Psychedelics in the Sixties, both published by the University of Chicago Press. His articles and essays on African American literature and political thought have appeared in American Literature, American Literary History, Political Theory, Raritan, and The Sewanee Review. He teaches at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and he blogs at thetimeisalwaysnow.org. Nick Bromell's book is a work of intellectual history and political theory that places Black thinkers—writers, activists, and artists—at the center of American democratic thought. He argues that African American intellectual traditions have continually reshaped the meaning of democracy in the U.S., offering critiques and visions that go beyond the frameworks typically emphasized in mainstream political philosophy. The title, taken from James Baldwin's writings, reflectsthe idea that democracy is never finished—it is always urgent and ongoing.The Time is Always Now: Black Political Thought and the Transformation of U.S. Democracy (Oxford UP, 2013) posits that Black thought epitomizes the crucible of American Democratic theory Bromell contends that African American thinkers are not simply responding to oppression but actively producing political theory—ideasabout freedom, justice, equality, and collective life. Their insights emerge from lived experiences of slavery, segregation,and racial inequality, which provide a unique vantage point for critiquing American democracy.Secondly, Democracy is an ongoing and incomplete project of reconstruction, renewal, and revival. Building on Baldwin's phrase “the time is always now,” Bromell argues that democracy must be constantly reimagined and fought for. Black intellectual traditions highlight democracy's fragility and incompleteness, challenging myths of American exceptionalism.Third, American Democracy exists beyond what are known to be traditional American institutions. While mainstream American political theory often places focus on constitutions, governments, or laws, Black thinkers and citizens emphasize affective, relational, and cultural dimensions of democracy—dimensions that exhibit and feature American virtues and values of community, solidarity, and recognition.Fourth, Professor Bromell calls for a vibrant relational empathy and mutual recognition. In this sense, Bromell highlights Black thought's insistence on recognition of shared humanity and mutual vulnerability as the foundation for democraticpractice. Thinkers as varied as James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr, Toni Morrison, and Ralph Ellison stress the necessity of empathy as a civic virtue. Bromell reframes African American intellectual history as politicaltheory, not just cultural or social commentary. He challenges readers to recognize that the deepest resources fordemocratic renewal in America come from traditions forged under conditions of racial oppression.  Ultimately The Time is Always Now insists that democracy is less about stable American institutions and more about the practice of bettering and refining incipient features of American institutions-facing each other honestly, acknowledging and shouldering of collective pain, and being committed to a shared mutual recognition of the totality of our collective experience.

He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University, New York City. He is also the co-founder of Democracy at Work and host of their nationally syndicated show Economic Update. Over the last 25 years, in collaboration with his colleague, Stephen Resnick, he has developed a new approach to political economy. While it retains and systematically elaborates the Marxist notion of class as surplus labor, it rejects the economic determinism typical of most schools of economics and usually associated with Marxism as well. In this episode, we talk about economic inequality from a Marxist perspective: how to understand it, and what drives it. We discuss whether economic inequality is natural, why we should tax the rich, and whether the rich leave the country if they get taxed. Finally, we discuss whether anyone can become rich without exploiting the labor of others, and whether billionaires should exist.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Join our group and design your retirement. Six Fridays starting on October 3rd. Learn more here. _________________________ Is there more to a great life than happiness and meaning?  Dr. Shige Oishi thinks so. He's the author of Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life, and he defines psychological richness as a life filled with diverse, interesting, and perspective-shifting experiences. Unlike the well-trodden paths of happiness (contentment) and meaning (purpose-driven focus), psychological richness is about exploration, challenge, and even taking on uncomfortable challenges —because growth lives outside the comfort zone. And retirement is a catalyst to explore this third dimension of life. Yet, psychological richness doesn't require dramatic change. It's quite accessible through small shifts, and by simply trying something new. Try new foods, meet someone new, or change your routine. And seize opportunities to be spontaneous and playful. Listen in and learn more about how psychological richness can enhance your life in retirement. Shige Oishi joins us from Chicago. _________________________ Bio Dr. Shige Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of September 12th Publish Date: September 12th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, September 12th and Happy Birthday to Jesse Owens I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Judge upholds key provision of Georgia elections overhaul Rootstock in downtown Woodstock is closing its doors Democratic candidate for governor leaving state Senate post Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 1: Judge upholds key provision of Georgia elections overhaul   A federal judge upheld part of Georgia’s hotly debated 2022 election law, specifically the restrictions on third-party groups distributing absentee ballot applications. In a 50-page ruling, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee said the state had a “compelling interest” in reducing voter confusion and boosting confidence in elections. The law, passed in 2021 after Joe Biden flipped Georgia blue in 2020, also limits drop boxes, requires ID for absentee voting, and bans giving food or water to voters in line. Voting rights groups aren’t backing down, calling the decision a blow to free speech. STORY 2: Rootstock in downtown Woodstock is closing its doors   Rootstock, a downtown Woodstock favorite for eight years, is closing its doors on Sept. 28. The tapas and wine spot, known for its rooftop bar and live music, announced the bittersweet news on Facebook, thanking the community for its support. “It’s with heavy hearts and deep gratitude that we say goodbye,” wrote owners Sean and Anna Daily. The building, recently sold, will soon house Rreal Tacos, a Mexican restaurant set to open in March, bringing new flavors—and over 100 local jobs—to Woodstock. STORY 3: Democratic candidate for governor leaving state Senate post  Georgia Democrats are down a state senator. Jason Esteves, announced Wednesday he’s stepping away from the Senate to focus fully on his run for governor in next year’s Democratic primary. He’ll face tough competition: former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and ex-Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, both big names in the party. During his three years in the Senate, Esteves pushed for affordable housing, better schools, and healthcare access. His campaign highlights include tax breaks for Atlanta seniors and helping block the Buckhead City movement. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 4: Cherokee Sheriff’s Office asking for help finding missing teen  The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office is asking for help finding 15-year-old Gladys Bautista, who hasn’t been seen since Tuesday morning, Sept. 9. She was last spotted getting on the bus to Creekview High School. Gladys is 5’5”, weighs about 140 pounds, and is listed as a missing person in the GCIC/NCIC system. If you’ve seen her or know anything—anything at all—please call CSO detectives at 770-929-0239, your local law enforcement, or 911. Her family and the community are counting on every set of eyes to help bring her home. STORY 5: Interim U.S. Attorney named official appointee  Theodore S. Hertzberg is officially Georgia’s new U.S. attorney for the Northern District, appointed Monday by federal judges. Hertzberg had been filling the role on an interim basis since May, after U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi tapped him to step in. He took over from Richard Moultrie Jr., who briefly held the position after Ryan Buchanan resigned when Trump’s second term began. With nearly a decade as an assistant U.S. attorney, Hertzberg’s prosecuted everything from gang leaders to gun traffickers. A New York native, he’s an Amherst and NYU Law grad who once clerked in Alabama.

In episode 206 of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, I interview Dr. Justin Marchegiani regarding his newly released book, The Thyroid Reboot. Topics covered in this episode include: Why is The Thyroid Reboot book different than others? What is driving thyroiditis and hypothyroidism? Is hypothyroidism caused by an immune system out of control or an adaptive response? The impact of stressors on driving thyroiditis and hypothyroidism Starting points for addressing hypothyroidism The role of thyroid antibodies And more... Dr. Justin Marchegiani began his medical career at the University of Massachusetts, where he was initially drawn to the surgical field. This early experience gave him a firsthand look at both the capabilities and limitations of the traditional healthcare system. While he appreciated its effectiveness in treating acute injuries and trauma, he also saw a gap in its approach to chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. After earning a degree in Kinesiology and Pre-medical studies from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Dr. Justin furthered his education at Life West University, where he received his Doctorate in Chiropractic. Now a licensed chiropractor in Texas and Kansas, his commitment to holistic health has driven him to pursue further studies in clinical nutrition, rehabilitative exercise, and functional medicine. His extensive knowledge base enables him to employ innovative techniques that are tailored to address the complex health needs of his patients. Dr. Justin is skilled in helping athletes improve their performance and recovery processes, as well as aiding individuals who struggle with persistent health issues. With a focus on holistic care, he aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of health concerns, leading to quicker recovery and enhanced overall well-being for his patients. https://justinhealth.com/

September 7th is Grandparents' Day! Celebrate the grandparents in your life or reflect on your own grandparenting journey. This is a special Retirement Roundtable episode, where we invite previous guests to engage in a conversation with each other. Returning are Ted Page, author of the new book Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood, and Kerry Byrne, founder of The Long Distance Grandparent. They're bringing different perspectives on, and experiences with, one of retirement's most complex yet rewarding roles: modern grandparenting. This isn't the hands-off grandparenting of yesteryear. Today's grandparents face unique challenges. They must actively build connections, learn, leverage, and adapt to emerging technologies; and navigate changing family roles and dynamics, walking the delicate line between sharing wisdom and overstepping boundaries. We Discuss: How grandparenting has evolved Why modern grandparenting requires more intentionality How humor and fun create trust and lasting bonds How to navigate different parenting philosophies with adult childrenLeveraging technology while staying mindful of balance The powerful impact of sharing family stories and traditions Ways to create meaningful experiences across generations Kerry Byrne joins us from Toronto, and Ted Page joins us from Vermont. _______________________________ For More on Ted Page Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood Blog: GoodGrandpa.com – Nurturing the Next Generation _______________________________ For More on Kerry Byrne The Long Distance Grandparent FREE Printable Cheat Sheet to Help you Connect with your Grandchild from a Distance _______________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like The Long Distance Grandparent – Kerry Byrne PhD Good Grandpa – Ted Page The Mindful Grandparent – Dr. Shirley Showalter _______________________________ Mentioned in This Podcast Conversation Dr. Becky ________________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

A 2012 Olympian in diving, she grew up immersed in the sport—coached by her parents, competing at Stanford, and training for years beyond. When she reached her dream of competing at the London Games, she also knew it was time to move on. In this conversation, Cassidy Krug shares the lessons she learned about navigating major life transitions—from sport to career, and from an “all-in” life to an “à la carte” one. She talks candidly about the identity shifts, the uncertainty of new beginnings, and the importance of reflection, interpretation, and community. Her story offers inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone facing their own turning points, especially those contemplating or entering retirement. Cassidy Krug joins us from Los Angeles. _______________________ We Discuss The emotional challenges of retiring from something when you still love what you do Why we tend to cling too long to what we do—and what helps us let go The critical role of interpreting your story, not just reacting to change How asking for help (and informational interviews) opened new doors in her career Creating an “à la carte” life after diving, balancing career, creativity, and relationships The value of curiosity and trying new things—even when you're used to being an expert Why investing in community matters so much after leaving a team or workplace The best advice she received (and what she wishes she had) about embracing change _________________________ Bio  Cassidy Krug is the author of Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life's Biggest Transitions. She is a former Olympic diver, a writer, and a brand and innovation strategist based in Los Angeles. She graduated from Stanford with an English degree and she won two NCAA diving titles there. ___________________________ For More on Cassidy Krug Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life's Biggest Transitions Website ____________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like The Portfolio Life – Christina Wallace Strategic Quitting – Julia Keller Edit Your Life – Elisabeth Sharp McKetta The Skill Set for Life's Transitions – Bruce Feiler _____________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

Send us a textIn 1878, a quiet town in Nova Scotia became the stage for one of Canada's strangest hauntings. Esther Cox, an ordinary young woman, was suddenly surrounded by raps in the walls, flying objects, and ghostly messages carved into plaster. Neighbors, doctors, ministers — even a touring actor — all claimed to witness the terror firsthand. Was it the work of restless spirits, the echoes of trauma, or a mystery no one will ever solve? Join me as we travel back to Amherst, where a haunting once gripped the Maritimes and left behind one unforgettable name: Esther Cox.Support the show

The exhibition “Open + Shut: Celebrating the Art of Endpapers” is on view at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts through November 9.Once a functional form - sturdy pages glued to the inside of a book's cardboard covers - endpapers today are often full of wit, surprise, and deep emotion. As one of the first (and last!) visual elements readers encounter when interacting with a book, endpapers set the mood for the story inside.
