Neil & Scott compare notes from their recent adventures — from the Finger Lakes and Canada

In this bonus episode, Christy is on her usual 45-minute walk to her favorite village coffee house when a car goes airborne right in front of her and disappears into a ravine— the motorist, his dog and all. She reflects on the cascade of fears that hit her in those few seconds, the divine and ancestral protection she feels carried her through, and what the whole terrifying experience revealed about the very real safety gaps facing birders and pedestrians on roads like Valley Road. Plus: shout-outs to the Joe Farm down in Alabama, Ithaca's planned greenway, and a handful of Finger Lakes birding spots worth knowing. Stay birdy, everyone.Linkshttps://southhillrecway.wordpress.com/https://www.connectingwithbirdsandnaturetours.com/https://www.fortbaptistfarm.com/

For generations, Kristin's family has owned a historic lake house on one of New York's Finger Lakes. Locals know the property by name, and many have their own stories about the strange things that happen there.One summer night, while paddling across the lake with a friend, Kristin noticed a light turn on inside the house. At first, it seemed harmless enough.Then they saw someone standing in the window.Certain that a stranger had broken into the house, the girls hurried back to shore. But before they could reach the property, the figure vanished.What happened afterward made the encounter even stranger—and left Kristin wondering if the stories surrounding Elm Lodge were true after all. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedLakeHouse #TrueGhostStory #Apparition #FamilyGhostStory #HauntedHistory #FingerLakes #ParanormalEncounterLove real ghost stories?

Private practice has changed a LOT over the last few years… and therapists are still trying to figure out what comes next. In this episode, Gordon talks with Lex E. Santi about the evolution of therapy after telehealth, online platforms, insurance shifts, and changing client expectations. They dive into why more clinicians are entering private practice, why clients still crave in-person connection, and how companies like BetterHelp, Alma, and Headway are reshaping the profession. They also explore the pressure therapists feel to market themselves, build niches, and create an online presence in a rapidly changing industry. Toward the end of the conversation, Lex shares how writing, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and storytelling intersect in his clinical work and creative life.

Trained as a licensed clinical social worker and currently completing his doctorate at the University of Kentucky, Lex brings a grounded, integrative approach to his work — drawing on modalities like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness alongside his own framework for healing he calls the AMI model. The son of Cuban immigrants and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Romania, Lex carries a lifelong fluency in crossing cultures — literally and emotionally. He speaks three languages and brings that same attunement to difference, displacement, and belonging into his clinical work. In the therapy room, he holds space for individuals navigating anxiety, identity, and the transitions that quietly reshape a life. He also supervises emerging clinicians, teaches workshops on meditation and understanding anxiety, and is building A Key Therapy into a group practice rooted in presence, curiosity, and care. He believes that good therapy — like good writing — is about learning to tell a truer story about yourself. Beyond the therapy room, Lex is a published author with an MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University — the author of four books of poetry and a collection of short stories and essays. A meditator and someone who thinks seriously about the spiritual dimensions of mental health, he lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York with his family.

In this episode, Christy checks in with a spring update from the Finger Lakes region of New York, where she'll be based full-time after permanently wrapping up a professional affiliation in North Carolina. She covers the famously unforgiving Tompkins County frost calendar—last freeze as late as May 30—and what that means for her raised garden bed at the Cottages, where she's planning a split experiment: half given over to creeping Charlie, half to two varieties of sunflower. She also introduces her two cats, Gimley and Silhouette. The episode closes on the sounds of the Finger Lakes in spring—bullfrogs, owls, birdsong—and a nudge to anyone considering a move to the area.

In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I sit down with my friend Chelsea, founder of a locally sourced, grass-fed beef organ supplement made right here in the Finger Lakes.We break down why organ meats were once considered sacred foods in traditional cultures — and why they may be one of the most nutrient-dense tools we're overlooking in modern wellness.If you've ever been curious about liver, heart, or kidney but don't know where to start (or you're not exactly excited to cook them), this conversation is for you.Why organ meats are considered nature's multivitaminThe difference between grass-fed, locally sourced organs vs. conventionalWho may benefit most from beef organ supportHow soil quality and sourcing matterWhy nose-to-tail eating supports sustainability and mineral balanceHow to incorporate ancestral eating into busy family lifeSimple, nourishing meals the whole family will actually enjoyWe also talk practically about what it looks like to prioritize nutrient-dense meals without overcomplicating your life — because real wellness has to work for families.Chelsea shares her heart behind creating a product that supports local farmers while making ancestral nutrition accessible and convenient.If you're looking to build meals around protein, minerals, and real food foundations — this episode will give you clarity and confidence.Little Fisher Farmhouse based in Fishers, New York, was founded by functional nutrition practitioner, ancestral food blogger, and food-as-medicine advocate Chelsea Rose and her husband, Max. Together, they created Offally Good Grass-Fed Organs: a whole-food supplement originally crafted to support Chelsea's body during her childbearing years. After experiencing how good they felt, they knew they had to share these little capsules of vitality with others. These nutrient dense capsules feed the mitochondria- supporting energy, mental clarity and inviting you to feel and live optimally. Max and Chelsea are deeply devoted to creating a whole-food supplement with small batch integrity, grounded in holistic farming practices and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all life - honoring both the animal and the harvest. By utilizing nutrient-rich organ meats, we can help reduce waste in the harvesting process, ensuring the whole animal is valued and intentionally incorporated for its highest benefit.Website: littlefisherfarmhouse.com Email: littlefisherfarmhouse@gmail.com

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Maureen Wheeler, Deputy Director of Livingston County Economic Development, and Tourism Director Ashley Comeau to discuss the strategic moves Maureen's department made to bring tourism under the same roof as economic development. We talk about business retention and expansion, building robust small destinations, and why visitor spending is critical for rural areas. Ashley and Maureen also share more about the business plan contest designed to attract breweries, restaurants, and experiential businesses to the area, and how that initiative has created a pipeline of businesses for the county, leading to multiple collaborations. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Maureen and Ashley's organizations collaborate in Livingston County to build a stronger local economy Why visitor spending is critical to sustaining small businesses and downtowns in rural areas Challenges Livingston County faced around having enough assets and experiences to keep visitors longer How the business plan contest process worked and why collaboration, even within a competition, was key to its success Why the Libation Loop became a flagship example of coopetition among local beverage businesses, and how it engaged both visitors and residents How branding and product development, including the launch of the LivCo identity, have helped locals embrace Livingston County as a place to be proud of Strategies Maureen and Ashley use to manage partnerships and set up collaborations for long-term success Economic Development Meets Tourism Livingston County's approach combines economic development and tourism efforts under one umbrella. This partnership creates what Maureen calls a virtuous cycle where tourism enhances local life and attracts new businesses, while a strong economy supports a better visitor experience. The end result is a coordinated push to grow both visitor spending and local prosperity, particularly critical for rural areas where businesses rely heavily on both types of revenue. Creativity in Addressing Core Challenges Like many rural destinations, Livingston County faces the challenge of needing more assets to promote, as Ashley explains. Visitors come to the area for headline attractions such as Letchworth State Park, but the county needs more restaurants, breweries, and experiential activities to encourage longer stays. This is what led to the business plan competition, a creative, strategic initiative designed to fill these gaps. By zeroing in on the types of experiences visitors crave (breweries, restaurants, indoor recreation), Livingston County has fueled a pipeline of new businesses, enriching the fabric of the destination. What sets this competition apart is its collaborative nature: participants go through entrepreneurship training together, forging connections and partnerships that last well beyond the contest itself. The Story of the Libation Loop One standout example of coopetition is the Libation Loop, a craft-beverage trail that began with a targeted competition to attract breweries. Rather than isolating single businesses, the team aimed to launch several breweries at once, strategically positioning them to link Livingston County to the wider Finger Lakes craft scene. What surprised the organizers most was the spirit of collaboration among the brewers, who supported one another while offering insights and partnership opportunities. As breweries opened and the trail matured, the baton was seamlessly passed to tourism to promote the new collective asset. The Libation Loop now features 12 participants (breweries, wineries, distilleries, and cideries) and is a highly sought-after product for visitors and locals alike. The involvement of local artists in designing the Loop map and branded merchandise has further strengthened pride and sense of place, with residents even adopting the "LivCo" brand into business names. It's not just about attracting tourists—it's about creating a community locals want to be part of.

The moment a guest opens your door, you're no longer just a real estate investor, you're running a hospitality business.   In this episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Katie to talk about something a lot of hosts say they care about, but don't always know how to execute: true hospitality. Katie spent years in global PR and communications for brands like W Hotels, Ritz-Carlton, Le Méridien, and more, and now owns and operates three short-term rentals while co-hosting a fourth. She's lived on both sides of the industry, and she has a very grounded perspective on what it really means to move from "real estate investor" to "host." We talk about the moment you open your doors and how, from that point on, you are running a hospitality business, not just holding an asset. Katie shares a hotel study that found the first ten minutes of a guest's arrival sets the tone for their entire stay, and we unpack what that looks like inside an STR: clear directions, lights that actually come on, intentional amenities, and those small, thoughtful touches that make guests feel seen instead of nickel-and-dimed. We also get into bachelorette groups, kids and pets, and why welcoming every member of the family changes how people experience your space and how they talk about it later. Katie walks us through her own portfolio in Lake George, Saratoga Springs, and the Finger Lakes, and how staying in a destination as a guest shaped what she looked for as an owner. We talk about design gaps, experience gaps, and why she's now exploring boutique motels and hotels with the same heart for hospitality she brings to her STRs. If you've ever felt the tension between automation, profit, and genuinely caring for the people in your homes, this conversation will feel like a reset and a reminder of why this work matters.

What do Irish rebel songs and Star Trek have in common? This week on Pub Songs & Stories, we raise a glass to courage, truth, and the songs that refuse to obey. From the Easter Rising of 1916 to a Cardassian interrogation chamber, today's songs ask one dangerous question: Do you trust your own eyes? Music from Kinnfolk, Erin Ruth, Marc Gunn, The Irish Lassies This is Pub Songs & Stories #312 0:29 - Kinnfolk "A Wintertime Feast" from A Wintertime Feast 5:15 - WELCOME TO PUB SONGS & STORIES Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters.

Instead of praising Irish soldiers who died fighting for England in World War I, the song asks why they were not fighting for their own land instead. It tells of ordinary men and women who stood up against a powerful empire, even when the odds were stacked against them. That's why it's a rebel song—it's about choosing freedom, courage, and self-respect over obedience. Versions like the one by Erin Ruth keep that spirit alive, reminding us that quiet voices can still challenge injustice and inspire change. 15:09 - Erin Ruth "The Foggy Dew" from Erin Ruth 18:25 - NEW PROTEST SONG INSPIRED BY STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION "Chain of Command, Part II" from Star Trek: The Next Generation centers on Captain Picard as a prisoner of the Cardassians. His captor, Gul Madred, uses pain and fear to try to control him. But the real goal is not information. It is obedience. Madred wants Picard to stop trusting his own eyes and accept what the government tells him is true. Again and again, Picard is pushed to say something he knows is false. The episode shows how power can try to rewrite reality—and how courage can be as simple, and as hard, as holding on to the truth. It echoes George Orwell's 1984, reminding us that the final test of freedom is whether we trust our own eyes—or believe the government when it tells us we are wrong. 21:34 - Marc Gunn "Four Lights" from Four Lights single 23:56 - TODAY'S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of people on a relaxing adventure to one of the Celtic nations.

Your support is the reason I'm still making music, telling stories, and showing up month after month. Patreon is how modern, independent musicians survive and thrive. Album Pins and CDs help get me on the road and in front of live audiences, but my day-to-day livelihood—the time it takes to write, record, podcast, film, and share—comes directly from Patrons of the Arts. As we continue into a new year, Patreon is where everything comes together. Patrons receive a brand-new song download every month. These are exclusive tracks you won't find anywhere else—works in progress, experiments, and finished songs that come straight from my creative desk to you. You'll also get regular updates when there's news to share, behind-the-scenes blogs, short and long-form videos, and access to a growing archive of bootleg concert recordings and special performances. You can join for as little as $5 a month. That small commitment adds up to real stability. It buys time to write songs. It funds recording and production. It keeps the creative engine running without chasing algorithms or trends. And if supporting financially isn't possible right now, that's okay. You can still join Patreon for free and receive regular updates, thoughts, and stories as they happen. Being part of the community matters, whether you're pledging or simply listening along. Patreon isn't just support—it's collaboration. It's how these songs, podcasts, and ideas exist at all. If you'd like more details, just email follow@celtfather. I'd love to have you along for the journey this year. 27:08 - QUEST & CHORUS of IRISH LASSIES The Irish Lassies are a 6-piece American Celtic folk band native to New York's Finger Lakes region. The band started when long-time childhood friends decided to take their casual Irish sessions and grow into a professional folk group. In only a few short years, the Irish Lassies have become known as one of the premier Celtic bands in New York State. Their self-titled album The Irish Lassies is comprised of traditional Irish music with unique Lassies' arrangements. Immigration Stories, an all-original album, aims to take listeners back to 18th and 19th century America with heart-felt true tales of Irish settlers. The Lassies' unique style focuses on powerful ballads using six-part harmonies and soulful songs that will invite you to raise a glass, dance, and sing along with a set list that takes you on a journey from Ireland to America. Slainte! 32:42 - The Irish Lassies "Burnout on the Peanut line" from Immigration Stories 35:14 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen. You can follow and listen to the show on my Patreon or wherever you find podcasts. Sign up to my mailing list to learn more about songs featured in this podcast and discover where I'm performing. Before we go, a quick reminder: caring about Celtic culture also means caring about the land that shaped it. The songs we love were born from fields, coasts, forests, and villages that depend on a healthy planet. Climate action doesn't have to be loud or perfect. It starts small. Walk when you can. Choose renewable energy if it's available to you. Support artists, farmers, and local businesses who care about the earth. Reduce waste. Reuse what you can. Leave a place better than you found it. When we protect the land, we protect the music, the stories, and the generations yet to sing them. Sláinte—and thank you for listening.

We're joined by public media reporter colleagues to explore some of the top stories in our region this week. First, new data shows most, if not all, categories of crime fell in the city of Rochester in 2025. WXXI News' Gino Fanelli explains what the data means. Then, there are fewer beds available in nursing homes across the nation, and as WXXI News' Racquel Stephen reports, the decrease has been more striking in the Finger Lakes region. She joins us to discuss what this means for patients and families, nursing home staff, and hospital systems in our area. We end the week with a phrase..."Go Bills!" Bills fans have been up in arms since Saturday's loss against the Broncos. From a controversial call to owner Terry Pegula's decision to fire head coach Sean McDermott, fans have thoughts.

We're coming to you live from NOLA Lab Fest with two very different, but equally nerd-worthy conversations. A HUGE THANKS to Aidite North America (https://www.aidite.com/) that has made this all available. Go show them some serious love. First up, Elvis sits down with Rik Jacobs from Novenda Technologies (https://www.lake3d.com/) to talk about a truly disruptive production-scale 3D printer that can print multi-material and multi-color—at the same time. We dive into voxel-based printing, integrated hard/soft gradients, no supports, water-soluble wax, massive denture and night guard output, and why centralized production labs should be paying very close attention to what Novenda is building next. Then we switch gears and catch up with Jess Gray, whose career journey is a masterclass in saying “yes,” learning fast, and building something special. From front desk at Aspen to running a rapidly growing in-house lab in the Finger Lakes region, Jess walks us through analog-to-digital dentures, Exocad self-education, facial scanning for All-on-X, in-office workflows, team building, and what it really takes to scale a lab while still loving the bench. This episode is packed with inspiration, tech talk, and real-world lab ownership lessons you don't hear every day. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the support you've shown throughout the year. From our Ivoclar family to yours, we wish you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday season. May your days be merry, your nights be bright, and your smiles shine like freshly fallen snow. Ho, ho, ho — Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! Big news is coming your way in the world of CAM. Our friends at Ivoclar have teamed up with FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/) to bring the Ivotion Denture System (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ivotion) into the HyperDent CAM (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) workflow. That's right—your favorite pre-shaded, two-layer Ivotion discs, the ones that let you design and mill a complete denture in one seamless process with no bonding and no mess, are now moving beyond closed systems. Thanks to this new partnership, Ivotion can finally be milled on open machines through HyperDent. And it gets better: you'll first see this powerful workflow available on the Roland DWX-53 series mills (https://www.rolanddga.com/products/dental/dwx-53d)—already a staple in so many labs—as well as the Imagine iMills (https://www.imagineusa.com/legacy/s/mills/imill). If you've been waiting for a faster, cleaner, more flexible way to produce full dentures, this is it. Ivoclar and FOLLOW-ME! just made the future of denture manufacturing wide open. Get ready—HyperDent is about to change the way you mill Ivotion. Special Guests: Jess Gray and Rik Jacobs.

The community is reacting after ICE detained a local businessman. As reported by WXXI's Gino Fanelli, Omar Ramos Jimenez, the co-founder of the Mexican restaurant La Casa, was arrested by federal immigration agents earlier this month during an alleged sting. Ramos Jimenez was first detained by ICE in 2013 and has been complying with the agency's requests for check-ins. A federal complaint states that he is now being held due to changes in presidential priorities and policies and to ensure his future attendance at court hearings. Hundreds of protesters recently gathered to demand his release. The group included his daughter, Cassandra Bocanegra, a senior staff member for the Finger Lakes chapter of the New York Immigration Coalition. She joins us for the hour.

In this episode of Hysteria 51, we're cranking the weird meter to 11 with a double feature of near-cremation resurrection and mysterious UFO lights over New York's Finger Lakes. First, we head to Thailand, where a woman declared dead was sent to the crematorium—only to wake up in her coffin moments before cremation. Was it a medical mistake, a glitch in the Matrix, or proof that you really can hit snooze on the afterlife?Then we jet to upstate New York, where baffled residents spotted a bright, unexplained light hanging over the Finger Lakes, sparking talk of aliens, secret military tests, and one very confused planet Venus. We break down the eyewitness reports, possible explanations, and what it all means for believers and skeptics alike.From a Thai “back from the dead” miracle to a sky full of questions, Weird Thai Awakening & Finger Lakes UFOs delivers spooky true stories, dark humor, and just enough tinfoil-hat energy to keep you checking both your heartbeat and the night sky.Links & Resources
