This week's show, a conversation on The Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we welcome Cheyanne Disé aka MuggaRose to join us. A Catskill-based psychic, medium, and ceremonial artist, she recently arrived from New Orleans. Her lifelong exploration of the unseen began in 1988, when she first immersed herself in the study of parapsychology, past lives, and hauntings.Guided by intuition and ritual, MuggaRose's artwork carries a deep spiritual resonance. Her creations, often inspired by ceremony and ancestral memory, are collected both nationally and internationally.Throughout her journey, MuggaRose has deep-dived into a wide range of performance offerings—from the ghostly movements of butoh, to the transformative experience of motherhood, to fronting radical punk bands. Each expression informs her spiritual and artistic practice today.As a devoted spiritualist and seeress, she weaves community ceremonies from coast to coast, helping others connect with spirit, intuition, and the natural cycles of renewal.Her debut book, Sundries for the Soul, invites readers to embrace spiritual hygiene, transform daily routines into sacred rituals, developing relationships with the medicinal plant spirits for energy work and learn to trust their own intuition. Through her art, teachings, and ceremonies, MuggaRose offers a living practice of connection, transformation, and reverence for the unseen world as healing and self awakening.Today we get into the magic and practices of Samhain. MuggaRose shares her years of experience in relating to and honoring her ancestors through ancestral altars and offerings. We explore many related aspects of being in connection with our ancestors, including shadow work and the practice of presence. She shares stories and tales related to the holiday including past public ceremonial experiences and what they've revealed to her. She has a public ceremony this weekend to honor Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld who permits the passing of spirits to visit when the veils are thin. Join MuggaRose and Gabrielle Heron on Sunday, November 2nd at the Maetreum of Cybele in Palenville, NY. Arrive by 5pm to make the procession. If you're feeling inspired bring an offering to be made to the earth for Ereshkigal and some nibbles to share with the living following the ritual. She's also holding space for readings on Saturdays at Strange Love in Saugerties from Noon to 5, a place where you can also find a copy of her latest publication, Sundries...Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his journey with fellow sailor Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their relocation trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this installment covers their passage from Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York, to Schuyler Yacht Basin on the Hudson River.Bela begins by returning to the boat after two weeks away, delayed both by a family wedding and a lock closure that left them waiting in Catskill. During that time, Mike held down the fort, provisioning the boat and calling daily for updates on when the locks would reopen. Their reunion kicks off with stories of patience, planning, and keeping a cruising sailboat ready for the next leg of the voyage.With the locks finally open, Bela and Mike prepare to head north. Along the way, they share the practical realities of traveling the Hudson River by sailboat, where timing, tides, and locks all play a role. They discuss their departure from Hop-O-Nose, navigating under bridges, and the shifting challenges that come with moving inland toward Lake Champlain.As the Hunter 44 Deck Salon makes her way upriver, the sailors reflect on both the beauty and the logistics of this leg. They talk about the differences between coastal passages and inland waterways—contrasting offshore freedom with the precise planning needed to transit locks, deal with low bridges, and coordinate with marinas like Schuyler Yacht Basin.The episode also highlights the camaraderie and humor that come with long-distance cruising. Bela and Mike joke about the quirks of waiting in Catskill, provisioning a boat for weeks at a time, and managing life aboard when plans change unexpectedly. For listeners curious about the real-world experience of cruising up the Hudson River, their stories bring the journey to life.This conversation isn't just about travel; it's about the mindset of sailors tackling an extended relocation voyage. From patience during delays to the satisfaction of finally getting underway again, Bela and Mike's discussion captures the ebb and flow of cruising life. Listeners will hear what it's like to adapt plans, keep a boat shipshape during downtime, and re-energize when the next opportunity to sail arrives.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Returning to the boat after delays and a two-week pause.The impact of lock closures on cruising schedules.Provisioning and maintaining a Hunter 44 Deck Salon during extended waits.Departing Hop-O-Nose Marina and heading north on the Hudson River.Strategies for handling locks, bridges, and tides on inland waterways.The transition from offshore passages to river cruising.Reflections on flexibility, patience, and the humor of sailing life.For sailors planning a similar journey—from Catskill to Schuyler Yacht Basin, and eventually into the Champlain Canal—this episode provides both inspiration and practical insights.

There was a sound issues with the original, it has now been fixed.In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his sailing journey with fellow sailor and boat owner Mike Malekoff aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this conversation captures the unique challenges and experiences of sailing the Hudson River and preparing for entry into Lake Champlain.Their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York sets the stage for one of the most important milestones of the voyage—taking down the mast. While Bela jokingly describes the marina as “modern, clean, spit-and-span” with a healthy dose of sarcasm, the real reason for the stop is all business. The marina is known for its crane services, making it one of the few places along the Hudson where cruisers can safely unstep a mast before entering the Erie or Champlain Canal.Mike explains why this is necessary: the bridge clearances to Lake Champlain are very restricted at 17 feet. This leaves sailors and many power boaters no choice but to take the mast down or lower their “air draft”. Bela and Mike talk through this process, sharing insights about preparation, marina logistics, and the sometimes nerve-wracking reality of lowering such a large spar from a cruising sailboat.Listeners get a firsthand account of what it's like to deal with this challenge—how boaters coordinate with marina staff, handle rigging, and secure the mast for safe travel. For those planning their own journeys up the Hudson River or through the Champlain or Erie Canal system, this episode provides valuable perspective and practical tips.Beyond the technical side, Bela and Mike reflect on the journey itself. Sailing from Georgia all the way north has already provided them with countless stories, but entering Catskill represents a turning point. It's a reminder that cruising isn't just about open-water sailing; it's also about adapting to inland waterways, marinas, and infrastructure. The camaraderie between sailors, the quirks of small-town stops, and the satisfaction of tackling each obstacle together all shine through in this conversation.For sailing enthusiasts, especially those curious about the Hudson River, Catskill marinas, mast stepping and unstepping, or cruising toward Lake Champlain, this episode is a must-listen. Bela and Mike's humor and storytelling make the technical aspects approachable, while their real-world experiences highlight the rewards and challenges of long-distance cruising on the East Coast.Whether you're planning your own trip up the Hudson, dreaming of exploring Lake Champlain by sailboat, or just love hearing about the realities of life aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, you'll find both inspiration and practical knowledge here.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Why sailors must take down their mast before entering the Champlain Canal.The role of Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, NY, for mast services.Insights into bridge clearances and challenges of inland waterways.Tips for preparing your sailboat and working with marina crews.Reflections on the journey from Georgia to Vermont aboard a Hunter 44.Humor, camaraderie, and lessons learned along the Hudson River.Join Bela and Mike as they share another chapter in their adventure sailing and cruising the East Coast.

In this episode of Sailing the East Coast with Bela and Mike, co-hosts Bela Musits and Mike Malekoff share the behind-the-scenes reality of cruising life during their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York. While many imagine sailing as endless blue water and perfect winds, the truth is that downtime, maintenance, and unexpected delays are just as much a part of the journey. This candid conversation captures the balance of adventure and patience required when traveling by sailboat.Bela and Mike are sailing aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, making their way North on the Hudson River as part of a longer voyage from Brunswick GA to Burlington VT. In this episode, they reflect on their “down day” at Hop-O-Nose, a marina well-known to cruisers as a staging point for stepping and unstepping masts before transiting the Erie Canal or continuing south toward the Intracoastal Waterway.The day unfolds differently than planned. Instead of logging nautical miles, the crew spends time at the dock—handling small projects, enjoying the marina atmosphere, and preparing for the next leg of their trip. Bela and Mike discuss the realities of cruising life, where flexibility is key. Weather, equipment, or marina schedules can change the best-laid plans, and experienced sailors learn to take those pauses in stride.They highlight the community aspect of sailing stops like Hop-O-Nose, where boaters heading in different directions cross paths, trade stories, and offer advice. For Bela and Mike, this downtime becomes an opportunity to meet fellow sailors, learn from others' experiences, and appreciate the rhythms of the cruising lifestyle.Bela and Mike share how a “down day” can actually be one of the most important parts of a voyage. It's a chance to:Check equipment and sails to ensure everything is in good order before the next offshore or river passage.Rest and recharge, both physically and mentally, before the next demanding stretch of sailing.Reflect on the journey so far, taking in the unique character of each port along the way.The conversation also touches on how seasoned sailors approach expectations differently than newcomers. Instead of focusing solely on the destination, they embrace the process—the weather delays, the maintenance, and the unexpected layovers—as part of the adventure.The Hunter 44 Deck Salon proves to be a capable and comfortable cruising vessel, but like any boat, it requires care and attention. The downtime at Hop gives Bela and Mike the chance to double-check systems and make sure they're ready for what's ahead.This episode offers listeners a grounded perspective on what it really means to cruise by sailboat:Not every day is about miles sailed—sometimes progress looks like rest, repairs, and reflection.Community and camaraderie among sailors are just as rewarding as the destinations themselves.Flexibility and patience are essential skills for anyone cruising the coast or tackling longer passages.For sailors planning their own trips along the Hudson River or down the East Coast, Bela and Mike's conversation is both relatable and informative. Whether you're curious about life aboard a cruising sailboat, interested in the logistics of marina stops, or simply love stories of life on the water, this episode delivers authentic insights into the cruising lifestyle.Keywords for SEO: sailing podcast, Hudson River sailing, Hop-O-Nose Marina, Hunter 44 Deck Salon, Catskill NY sailing, cruising lifestyle, East Coast sailing, liveaboard sailors, Intracoastal Waterway journey, sailboat downtime, marina life, sailing stories.Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and MikeLife at Hop-O-Nose MarinaSailing Lessons from DowntimeKey Takeaways for Cruisers and Sailing Enthusiasts

On September 9th, CEI hosted its first in-person conference dedicated to hepatitis C and drug user health. A group of New York State-based clinicians met in Catskill for a full day agenda focused on (1) integrating wellness into clinical practice as a way to improve patient care and outcomes, and (2) innovative decision- making frameworks to help clinicians navigate complex scenarios in the absence of strong formal evidence, like clinical guidelines and peer reviewed studies. This episode of “Conversations with CEI” features conference planner and facilitator Taylor Edelmann – an educator and consultant working at the intersection of LGBTQIA+ health, drug user health and harm reduction – sharing his experience and insights about the day. Taylor currently oversees the Lighthouse Learning Collective at the National Harm Reduction Coalition, a program focused on supporting LGBTQIA+ harm reductionists and people who use drugs and engage in sex work. As one of the first openly transgender NCAA athletes, Taylor brings a deeply personal lens to his work advocating for gender-affirming care. He regularly provides clinical education and technical assistance to providers across the country, including Yale University and one of Connecticut's largest federally qualified health centers, and recently presented at the 2025 Harm Reduction International Conference in Bogotá, Colombia. Taylor is also the co- creator of ChemSex Awareness Week, and the lead author of Gender Affirming Harm Reduction: A Toolkit for Syringe Service Programs, the first resource of its kind developed specifically for social service providers in harm reduction settings.  Related Content:  2025 Annual NYS Hepatitis C and Drug User Health conference website: https://ceitraining.org/conference/conferences/3 Lighthouse Learning Collective at the National Harm Reduction Coalition: https://harmreduction.org/our-work/action/lighthouse-learning-collective/ Gender Affirming Harm Reduction: A Toolkit for Syringe Service Programs: https://lighthousetoolkit.my.canva.site/ Narrative Medicine: https://www.aamc.org/news/narrative-medicine-every-patient-has-story Drug, Set, and Setting: The Basis for Controlled Intoxicant Use: https://southwestrecoveryalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Drug-Set-and-Setting-Zinberg-N-1.pdf CEI Clinical Consultation Line 1-866-637-2342 A toll-free service for NYS clinicians offering real-time clinical consultations with specialists on HIV, sexual health, hepatitis C, and drug user health. ceitraining.org

Everyone wants to run away from society and build a queer homestead with their polycule, but what does it actually take to make that happen? We talk to artist and organizer Kamra Hakim about the land they bought in upstate New York, the artist residency/community space they created on it, and why conflict management is actually the most important skill in an off-grid queer community (besides knowing how to fix a generator). Hosted by Ally Beardsley and Babette Thomas, Gender Spiral is a quest to explore the modern experience of being a human in our gendered world.

In 1985, Bob Steuding published The Last of the Handmade Dams: The Story of the Ashokan Reservoir, a historically rich account of the building of the Ashokan Reservoir—and the lives displaced in its wake. Forty years later, the book remains a cornerstone of Catskills regional history and the inaugural title from Purple Mountain Press.In this episode, we visit Bob and Martha Steuding at their 18th-century stone farmhouse near the reservoir. Literary correspondent Rebecca Rego Barry sits down with Bob to reflect on a life rooted in place, the founding of Purple Mountain Press, and the emotional legacy of a dam that reshaped a landscape—and the lives within it.

Send us a textStart in city gravel, end on a knife-edge ridge. That's the arc of Kyle Richardson's 1,300-mile Northeast Summits Tour—fifteen days, 84,000 feet, and six peaks stitched together by a bivy, a bike, and a refusal to overplan. We talk about why he treats endurance like an art form, how loosening timelines kept motivation high, and what it means to curate routes that flow from Catskill roots to Adirondack slabs, across the Whites, and onto Katahdin's cathedral spine.We get tactical without killing the magic. Kyle breaks down mapping with Gaia GPS, weaving the Empire State Trail, Eastern Divide, and local connectors, plus the on-the-fly decisions that save you from interstates and dead ends. He shares stealth bivvy habits, smart resupply strategy in the Maine woods, and the gear that actually works: hydrophobic, big-lug trail shoes that drain fast in boggy terrain and a tidy kit that looks presentable from diner to trailhead. We dig into recovery while moving daily, the mental cadence of silence vs. sound, and why his east coast takeaway is simple: technical, steep, and slept-on can be world-class.There's more beyond the Northeast. Kyle unpacks his Boulder–Steamboat ride for Moots' 40th anniversary—crossing divides, tagging Longs Peak, and dropping Rollins Pass—plus the South Platte Twirl, a two-night Colorado loop that blends singletrack, OHV roads, gravel, and quiet pavement. We revisit his pre-tour dawn linkup on Longs with Kilian Jornet and the lessons in communication, safety, and community that came with it. If you're hungry for routes that balance beauty, efficiency, and honest difficulty, this one's a map you can trust.If this conversation sparked ideas for your next ride or run, tap follow, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who needs a nudge to plan less and move more.Follow Kyle on IG - @kylerichardsonFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

We saw Spinal Tap 2, flipped the big red switch, and counted down the best 1980s songs that peaked at #11. Because these… go to 11. Also: sexy drummers, armadillos, and Milt trying to make Kenny Loggins a sports anthem (again). Quick Hit Summary Mini-review of Spinal Tap 2 (Paul! Elton! Still loud.) Countdown: our blended Top 10 “peaked at #11” bangers from the '80s Playdate: 11 questions about… 11 (of course) A respectable pile of “also-rans” that just missed the podium Chapter Guide 00:00 – Cold open / mic check / Past Tens roll call 06:05 – Fire up the Time Machine 07:06 – What we're doing: '80s songs that peaked at #11 (Spinal Tap salute) Tap Talk 07:50 – Spinal Tap 2 quick take: tone matched, laughs landed 09:45 – Cameos: Paul McCartney (charming), Elton John (scene-stealer) 10:55 – Aging rockers, commitments vibes, and a very funny new drummer 12:40 – Why sequels usually whiff and why this one didn't The Countdown — The '80s Songs That Went to 11 #11 – 00:15:00 Thompson Twins – “Doctor! Doctor!” (1984) Second-British-Invasion synth-pop sugar rush. “How was this not Top 10?” energy. #10 – 00:16:00 Gary U.S. Bonds – “This Little Girl” (1981) Boss-built boomerang: written/produced by Springsteen & Stevie Van Zandt; Clarence on sax. Roots-rock strut with comeback swagger. #9 – 00:22:00 Sheila E. – “A Love Bizarre” (1985) Prince pixie dust, 12-minute club glide, percussion queen doing queen things. #8 – 00:27:00 Michael Jackson – “Another Part of Me” (1987) From the Captain EO era: Quincy groove, Disney cheese, undeniable bounce. #7 – 00:34:00 The Contours – “Do You Love Me” (re-charted 1988) Dirty Dancing rocket fuel: Motown growl makes the Catskills naughty again. Playdate – 00:43:00 11 Questions about “11” (Kyrie, Larkin/Rollins, 7-Eleven's rogue lowercase n, Swingers, Messier, Bledsoe & Edelman, Ocean's Eleven = Matt Damon, Marshall amps, Eleven = Millie Bobby Brown, Jeter wore 11 in the minors, etc.) #6 – 00:52:00 Kenny Loggins – “This Is It” (1980) Blue-eyed soul with Michael McDonald cosign; NCAA montage hall-of-famer. #5 – 00:57:00 Loverboy – “Hot Girls in Love” (1983) Aerosol, hooks, and harmless himbo energy. Dumb? Sure. Fun? Absolutely. #4 – 01:01:00 Prince – “I Wanna Be Your Lover” (1980) Pre-Purple Rain princelet: falsetto glide, post-disco snap, future royalty loading. #3 – 01:07:00 Bryan Adams – “Somebody” (1985) Reckless sweet spot: denim-rock churner with live-aid mojo. Ballad break = beer run. #2 – 01:11:00 Go-Go's – “Head Over Heels” (1984) Pop truffle perfection. Jane Wiedlin piano break = pure dopamine. #1 – 01:26:00 Stevie Nicks – “Edge of Seventeen” (1981) The white-wing-dove war cry. Signature solo cut. A Top 10 snub so egregious it should be a congressional hearing. Also-Rans & Near-Misses (rapid fire) Stevie Wonder – “I Ain't Gonna Stand for It” Bangles – “Walking Down Your Street” Little River Band – “The Other Guy” (The Other Guys synergy!) Toto – “I'll Be Over You” Debbie Gibson – “Electric Youth” (Dave votes yes; Milt files an appeal) Soul II Soul – “Keep On Movin'” (Milt's neo-soul crush) Benny Mardones – “Into the Night” (we heard you, Internet) The Police – “Spirits in the Material World” Paul Davis – “Cool Night” (yacht softness) Naked Eyes – “Promises, Promises” Dead or Alive – “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” If this episode made your dial go to 11, share it with a friend, drop a 5-star on Apple/Spotify, and come argue with us at timemachinepod.com or toptentimemachine@gmail.com.

This week we start off in rural Minnesota where KarmicX is having a tough go. He's already having a bad day when Adam Busch shows up in the chat and Karmic takes notice. He has a Rob Saul-esque meltdown over the most innocuous chats. The good news is, he might be teaming up with Aaron Imholte on Steel Toe if they can figure out the contract.  We watch Keanu Thompson make up stories about me while on Misery Loves Company with Kevin Brennan. Apparently when I was in the Catskills at Chrissie Mayr's event, I was a nervous wreck, crying about Keanu potentially telling KB about my live show. Wow, what a crazy break from reality. Adam is continuing his deep dive on Michael Ray Bower; the former Nickelodeon actor reflects on the failure of his Monday Night Football drinking stream. Stuttering John was publicly rejected by Kristen Carney and he does not handle it well. Opie continues to be shamed by Ron the Waiter for not stepping up and getting him a new mattress while three different WATP listeners are chipping in. Megan and Annie join us for a round of “Is It Gay?” and Cardiff's “To Poke A Dabbler.” We finish things off with some reviews, Spotify comments, and your voicemails.

Tom struggles with a new identity: hero. For driving his fiancee and friends to, around and back from the Catskills he is amply lauded by his grateful passengers . But will random strangers find out about his heroism and expect him to perform heroic acts at their beck and call and whim? "you'd be a REAL hero if you drove our toddler to school while my husband and I have breakfast in bed" Yikes!

Wellness travel is no longer a luxury; it's a movement.

(Spoiler alert: it's still filled with beautiful art.) Betsy shares her new journey painting full-time and her work that, much like Cole's, uses the glory of nature, and especially trees, to craft a narrative; in this case, a fresh narrative about women over 50 creating and curating fecund, vibrant, blossoming lives all their own.

This weekend was the big meetup in the Catskill's of Chrissie Mayr and all her besties at her content hotel event. What happened and why? Was it worth it? How is this thing a thing? Michael Ray Bower hasn't always been this way. Or has he? Let's watch an old video from the time before he lived in his bachelor box and see if we can find some clues. Chad Zumock has moved for the first time in five years, boasting about a new life with a mysterious new girlfriend. But is it the same old Chad we've come to laugh at, or will this be the beginning of a new redemption arc for the Ohio simpleton? ...

We are live in the Catskills at Chrissie Mayr's Content Hotel talkin' Toe! Chrissie joins us (and Keanu yells from the crowd) as we breakdown Aaron gloating about his subreddit getting banned. Also, Aaron has herpes, so that's pretty funny.  Adam, Chris, and I go on to listen to Mersh explain that the event we are performing at sucks. Opie is back in NYC with his buddy Matt and rubs their friendship Ron the Waiter's face. Jen explains that Adam was interviewed by Joey C but actually it was the other way around. Lucy Tightbox joins the show to discuss Stuttering John's eating soup bit. We wrap up with a listener joining us for a round of To Poke A Dabbler.

From a childhood filled with questionable parenting—like smoking cigarettes at nine and dodging ice cubes thrown by mom—to absurd family vacations at a creepy, inherited Catskills property where someone died in a fire, the stories are as wild as they are relatable. The conversation takes a sharp turn into the absurdity of horror movie tropes, poking fun at predictable jump scares, clueless characters, and the questionable life choices in films like The Shining and The Conjuring. They also touch on a bizarre real-life tale of a racist werewolf at a Universal Studios haunted house. Packed with dark humor, nostalgic rants, and a healthy dose of disdain for adults who love Disney, this episode is a rollercoaster of laughs and unfiltered storytelling.
