New Hampshire's top corrections official resigned this week without explanation ending a more than two decade career with the department. Commissioner Helen Hanks oversaw the Department of Corrections for eight years until this week. Tensions had been brewing between Hanks and top New Hampshire Republicans. And the number of Canadians visiting the U.S. declined in recent months and state officials are expecting a drop in tourists from our northern neighbors this summer. Parts of New Hampshire rely on tourist spending in the summertime. We discuss how a drop in Canadian tourists could affect local municipalities on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with Concord Monitor reporter Charlotte Matherly and NHPR's Josh Rogers.

Send us a textIn this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. David Amaral and Kathy Stein about the powerful impact of brain donations through Autism BrainNet in advancing our understanding of autism. Dr. Amaral offers a comprehensive overview of autism, exploring what science currently knows about its risk factors and potential causes. He discusses the rise rate of autism and explains how brain donations provide researchers with a rare and invaluable opportunity to study autism at the neurological level—offering insights that can't be uncovered any other way. He also shares key discoveries that have already emerged through Autism BrainNet's efforts.Kathy Stein joins the conversation to share a deeply personal story: that of her brother Ed, who lived with autism and viewed it as "a different way of seeing the world." After Ed's passing, Kathy donated his brain to Autism BrainNet, a decision she describes as a gift to science, one that reflects her commitment to supporting research that might bring answers to families in the future. Together, Dr. Amaral and Kathy explain how the brain donation process works, what it means for scientific discovery, and why it's an act of profound generosity.Dr. David Amaral is a distinguished professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC Davis. He serves as the scientific director of Autism BrainNet and was the founding research director of the renowned MIND Institute, a center for autism research founded in collaboration with parents of children on the spectrum. He is also a past president of the International Society for Autism Research and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of its journal, Autism Research.Kathy's brother Ed called Concord, New Hampshire home for 25 years. A beloved community member, Ed worked at the Concord Monitor, operating the advertisement insert machine until his retirement. A familiar and friendly face at the Concord Public Library, Ed had a wide range of passions—including steam trains, photography, travel, and musicals. He lived with warmth, curiosity, and an enduring grace that left an impression on all who knew him.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.Support the show

Our in studio guest for Monday's show was Alexander Rapp of the Concord Monitor. A sports and news reporter for the Monitor, Alex has a very interesting story to tell about spending much of his youth in Peru before returning to New England to pursue a career in journalism.

As the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, or DODGE, has made sweeping cuts to federal spending, members of New Hampshire's Commission on Government Efficiency, or COGE, are beginning their work — though the panel says it's taking a different approach than its federal counterpart. New Hampshire libraries and arts organizations are bracing for possible funding cuts from both the state and federal governments. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with the Concord Monitor's Charlotte Matherly and NHPR's Oliva Richardson.

President Trump's tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico were slated to take effect earlier this week, but on Thursday Trump changed course, saying he would give a break to all goods covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement. We hear if energy imports are covered in the exemptions and how tariffs could affect Granite Staters' energy bills. Also: A new lawsuit out of New Hampshire is challenging the Trump administration's ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools. The lawsuit alleges the restrictions chill teachers' free speech. We discuss these stories with local reporters Jeremy Margolis from the Concord Monitor and NHPR's Mara Hoplamazian on this week's edition of the New Hampshire News Recap.

The state's Education Freedom Accounts program gives money to families for homeschooling costs or private school tuition. A recent analysis from the Concord Monitor found those funds can go toward a wide range of different expenses, including ski trips and horseback riding. New Hampshire lawmakers are hoping to address a number of concerns related to maternal health this session. And businesses in the state could be losing millions of revenue to due a shortage of child care. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with the Concord Monitor's Jeremy Margolis and the New Hampshire Bulletin's Will Skipworth.

The Republican-controlled New Hampshire Legislature picked its leaders this week. And House representatives voted this week to create a new committee dedicated to the state's housing crisis. Lawyers for state Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi asked a lower court judge this week to toss out her corruption case. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with Boston Globe's Steven Porter and Concord Monitor's Michaela Towfighi.

A group of parents is suing the Bow School District after officials barred two of them from school grounds for protesting transgender athletes' participation in girls' sports. And the city of Manchester has passed an ordinance regulating syringe service programs. It's the first municipality in the state to do so. Manchester Public Health Director Anna Thomas says harm reduction initiatives have reduced overdoses by 25% and fatalities by 44% over the past two years. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with NHPR's Lau Guzmán and Concord Monitor's Sruthi Gopalakrishnan.

A school board in Lempster has filed suit against the state of New Hampshire, alleging it has established a pattern of overstepping its authority. And the housing market continues to be a nightmare for buyers in New Hampshire with the latest median home price at over $500,000. Manufactured housing is supposed to be a more affordable option for those looking to own, but those associated costs are also going up. We talk about these stories and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with the Boston Globe's Steven Porter and the Concord Monitor's Michaela Towfighi.

According to an analysis from the Concord Monitor, New Hampshire municipalities seized the property of Granite Staters who were behind on property taxes during the pandemic, despite an emergency order by Gov. Chris Sununu that suspended such seizures. And how best to introduce yourself to voters? It's a question any candidate seeking public office faces. And for the Democrats now running in New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District, it's being answered through competing claims of rootedness in the state they're seeking to represent. We dig into these stories on this week's edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with Concord Monitor Reporter Michaela Towfighi and NHPR's Josh Rogers.

Many new parents share that they feel a shift in identity as they begin to care for a child in the house. It can be hard to identify what's changed and why. If you have ever found yourself as a parent thinking, “I feel the same but also so different, why?” or “what is happening to me? Why do I feel the way I do?”, or “who am I now that I am a parent?” this episode is for you.    Chelsea Conaboy, author of Mother Brain, shares that this transformation into new parenthood has a scientific basis, affecting mothers and all individuals caring for an infant. The brain is being rewired for nurturing. She will share her scientific research on why the brain undergoes profound changes and expose the flaws perpetuated by the myth that mothering is solely a woman's domain, known as "maternal instinct." In truth, these changes occur in anyone responsible for the ongoing care of a baby. Get ready to discover the science behind the shift in all our brains, regardless of gender or parental role.   IN THIS EPISODE: [3:03] Chelsea shares what drove her to write the book Mother Brain [6:36] Chelsea discusses the concept of maternal instinct versus the science of the brain when you become a parent [13:10] Discussion of the research in this field [18:13] What advice would Chelsea give to a new parent? She describes the guilt she experienced when she had her son [23:26] Chelsea dives into when you should seek help for your feelings and what she would change in our culture [29:36] There is an impact on the entire family dynamic when a baby comes into the home, affecting even the relationships you have with other parents [35:09] Chelsea would like to see more research in the area of fathers, non gestational parents and social policy  [38:01] Chelsea stresses that when you need help, ask for it, and a discussion of solo parenting and the shame they endure [45:18] Discussion of how the human brain has developed over time, Chelsea's view of family and how her research has informed her parenting   KEY TAKEAWAYS: The maternal instinct theory has been passed down through generations trying to explain what goes on within the brain of a woman who has a child or cares for a child.  Two things shape the parental brain. One is hormones, and the other is experience. Babies are such powerful stimuli for the brain that anyone caring for them also experiences hormonal changes. The bottom line for parents is that having a newborn is a process. It is hard, and that is normal. Accept that your brain changes when you commit to caring for an infant. Don't feel guilty if you struggle with how you feel inside.      RESOURCE LINKS: Stork'd - Facebook Stork'd - Instagram Stork'd - YouTube  Chelsea Conaboy - Website Mother Brain Book Chelsea Conaboy - Instagram   BIOGRAPHY: Chelsea Conaboy I am a health and science journalist. I started my career at the small but mighty Concord Monitor in New Hampshire, where I discovered my love for narrative writing. I wrote about health care at the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Boston Globe, and I was part of the Globe staff that won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings. For three years, I led the features report at the Portland Press Herald in Maine, where I edited weekly sections on arts and entertainment, books, food, and sustainable living. My writing has also been published by The New York Times, Mother Jones, Politico, the Boston Sunday Globe magazine, National Journal, The Week, ParentMap, and WBUR. I have been a fellow with the Poynter Institute, the National Library of Medicine and the Health Coverage Fellowship led by writer Larry Tye.  Mother Brain: How Neuroscience Is Rewriting the Story of Parenthood, published by Henry Holt & Co., is my first book. The writing and reporting of Mother Brain was supported by a generous grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Public Understanding of Science and Technology Program. Parts of Mother Brain were written in the cabins of the Hewnoaks Artist Residency.

Thursday's program featured political strategist and NH Primary historian Mike Dennehy of Dennehy and Bouley in Concord and Eric Rynston-Lobel, Concord Monitor sports/news reporter talking about the local sports scene and the experience of covering his first NH Primary.

As goes New Hampshire, so goes the nation? A Granite State mantra will likely be put to the test in this Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. Former President Donald Trump trounced his competitors in last week's Iowa caucus with the biggest margin of victory in the history of the state's Republican caucuses. But has his momentum been slowed in the days leading up to the New Hampshire primary? Meanwhile, after the Granite State refused to accept second place to South Carolina in the Democratic National Committee's primary cycle, President Joe Biden is not on the ballot. That isn't stopping local Democrats from leading a write-in campaign for him. Plus, a new study shows New Hampshire's primary could be impacted by an influx of new voters — potentially as many as 245,000 new voters. Under the Radar's New Hampshire Insiders are back! GUESTS Arnie Arnesen, former New Hampshire democratic legislator, nominee for governor and candidate for U.S. Congress, and host of WNHN's The Attitude with Arnie Arnesen Paul Steinhauser, national politics reporter for Fox News and campaign columnist for The Concord Monitor

A little after 10:00 pm on the evening of May 1, 1990, Pamela Smart returned home from work to find her husband, twenty-four-year-old Gregg Smart, lying dead just beyond the front door of their condominium, a single bullet hole in his head. Detectives from the small town of Derry, NH arrived to find what appeared to be the scene of a robbery; though, very little looked to have been stolen and to investigators the scene felt staged. Two days later, Derry Police Captain Loring Jackson announced that Gregg Smart's death wasn't a random attacked, he'd been murdered by someone who knew him. The murder of Gregg Smart, and the trial that followed, shocked the population of New Hampshire, where it remains perhaps the most notorious criminal trial in the state's history. As the first criminal trial to be televised from beginning to end, the case of Pamela Smart and her teenage lover captivated a national audience, leading to television and feature films, several nonfiction books, and countless television specials in the decades that followed.Special thank you to the brilliant David White for research assistanceReferencesBaker, Frank. 1990.

Mention the Pamela Smart case to someone in New Hampshire, and they'll know exactly what you're talking about. The case captivated the nation in the early 90's and at the center of it all, of course, was Pamela. A New Hampshire native, she had big dreams of becoming somebody and making a name for herself. She moved away from her small town and almost did, but in the name of love she moved back home and settled into her career as a School Administrator. It was via that position that she would meet young sophomore in High School, Billy Flynn. Pam groomed the boy, and had him thinking they were fully in love before she asked him a question that would change both of their lives forever: Would he murder her husband? In part one we'll cover the early life of both Pam and her husband, Gregg Smart, we'll break down how Pam and Billy became involved with each other and just how Pam got Billy to believe that murdering her husband was what it would take for them to be together forever.Special thank you to the brilliant David White for research assistanceReferencesBaker, Frank. 1990.

Eric Rynston-Lobel of the Concord Monitor joined us in studio to update the very busy local high school sports scene. Also discussed was the shortage of local sports trainers for high school athletic programs, a follow up to a Monitor article that Eric wrote earlier this week.

Dan talks with Lara Salahi, a professor of journalism at Endicott College, where she teaches a range of courses, from feature writing to digital journalism. She has also been a digital producer for NBC Universal, and a field producer for ABC News.  Salahi has also done some consulting and writing on science and health projects. She was executive producer on a podcast called Track the Vax, which ran during the height of the pandemic. And she collaborated with Pardis Sabeti, a systems biologist and Harvard professor who researches infectious diseases like Ebola and Lassa virus. They wrote a book together in 2018 that is still relevant: It's called "Outbreak Culture: The Ebola Crisis and the Next Epidemic." They updated the paperback with a new preface and epilogue in 2021 to reflect on the Covid19 outbreak, and the lessons learned from past epidemics.  In Quick Takes, there's so much going on that Dan discusses three developments. One involves the future ownership of the Portland Press Herald in Maine as well as its sister papers. The other is about a dramatic, unexpected development in hyperlocal news in New Jersey. The third involves some very good news for a daily paper in central Pennsylvania. Dan and his Northeastern University colleague, Meg Heckman, pay tribute to a legendary journalist — Mike Pride, the retired editor of the Concord Monitor in New Hampshire and the former administrator of the Pulitzer Prize. Mike died on April 24 in Florida of a blood disorder. He was 76, and left his imprint on journalism in many ways. Meg worked at the Concord Monitor for more than 10 years. Ellen was out of pocket for this podcast episode but did the sound editing and post-production. She'll return next week.   

For better or worse, the 2024 presidential election season has begun. Candidates from former President Trump to former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley are already making their case in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire. And while long-standing tradition has held the Granite State as the first presidential election primary in the nation, Democrats are pushing to get South Carolina in that coveted spot – much to New Hampshire's dismay. We also analyze a new local TV series that considers why a certain kind of libertarian is flocking to New Hampshire. It's our ongoing segment, New Hampshire Insiders. GUESTS Arnie Arnesen, former New Hampshire democratic legislator, former nominee for governor and candidate for U.S. Congress, host of WNHN's The Attitude with Arnie Arnesen Paul Steinhauser, national politics reporter for Fox News and campaign columnist for The Concord Monitor
