After years of waiting and hoping, while band members were in their various solo outings, and the jamband scene seemed more inclusive than ever, Phish returned to the stage. After their Hampton comeback in March, they hit the road for a HUGE summer tour and expectations were out of control. At the time, lots of long-time fans were overwhelmed with the excitement of Phish being back clean, sober, and cohesive but we were also wondering: where are the jams?But with time comes perspective and we are lucky today to have returning guest Derek Hill to explain why today's show–June 9, 2009 at the Asheville Civic Center–and 2009 in general deserves its due, deserves respect, and deserves attention instead of being brushed aside as “the band getting back on their feet.” You may remember that Derek was previously on Attendance Bias to tell about another show from 2009–the memorable Hartford show from August 14 when the band busted out several Gamehendge favorites, a killer version of Ghost, and even played Psycho Killer! That show was an instant classic, but today's show from Asheville was a bit more under the radar. It was early on in Phish's 3.0 return, and had several features that would become trademarks of the early-3.0 era; long sets, old favorites mixed in with songs from the new album, strong vocals, type 1 jams, and the occasional jam that pushed the boundaries. But there's also the personal aspect to it–the reasons Derek wanted to tell his story, and I'll leave that to him. So let's join Derek to talk about Sarah Palin, Fishman's journal, and what it's like UNDER the stage, as we discuss June 9, 2009 at the Asheville Civic Center.Support the show

Lazale Ashby is a Connecticut inmate whose legal saga stems from the December 2002 rape and murder of 21-year-old Elizabeth Garcia in her Hartford apartment; DNA evidence and his own statements led to his arrest and a 2008 conviction on multiple counts, including capital felony, for which he was sentenced to death — making him one of the state's youngest death row prisoners — but after Connecticut abolished the death penalty, that sentence was converted to life plus 125 years. However, in 2020 the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned his conviction because his rights were violated at the original trial, and Ashby later pleaded guilty in 2023 and received a 46½-year prison sentence, the third sentencing in the case; he is also serving a 25-year term for another 2003 murderhttps://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Before her execution, Governor John Winthrop Jr. treated Mary Barnes as a patient. He recorded her symptoms, prescribed medicines, and tracked the costs in his medical notebook. In 1663, she was executed for witchcraft in Hartford, Connecticut.This episode isn't about the execution. It's about fractured communities, failed institutions, and real people with lives that existed long before the gallows. It's about what happens when a doctor's patient becomes a community's scapegoat, when churches wage war with themselves, and when the one leader who had stopped witch executions leaves town at the worst possible moment.Between 1647 and 1663, Connecticut hanged more people for witchcraft than any other New England colony. Then it became the first to implement legal protections that saved lives, twenty-nine years before Salem would erupt. Understanding that transformation requires understanding Hartford's breaking point.Understanding how communities fracture, how institutions fail their people, and how fear finds convenient targets in those who don't fit strict norms teaches us to recognize these patterns, whether in 1663 Hartford or anywhere scapegoating takes root.This is the story of what happened when a doctor's patient became a witch. When religious anchors became battlegrounds. When neighbors turned on neighbors. And eventually, when a community chose differently.In May 2023, Connecticut officially absolved all 34 witch trial victims.The Thing About Witch Hunts examines historical witch trials and contemporary persecution patterns worldwide. Hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack explore the context that makes scapegoating possible and how communities can choose differently.*End Witch Hunts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationLinksConnecticutwitchtrials.orgListen to more CT Witch Trials Podcast EpisodesBuy the Book: Before Salem: Witch Hunting in the Connecticut River Valley 1647-1663 What books should I read about the Connecticut Witch Trials?

2026 is an important year for the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation. After celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2025, the former Hartford Foundation for Public Giving kicked off the year with a major rebranding and plans for a new headquarters in Hartford's North End. Foundation president and CEO Jay Williams joined the CBIA BizCast to highlight the nonprofit's mission and new chapter. “We wanted a name that was actionable and modern,” he said. “‘Greater Hartford Gives Foundation' speaks to the breadth of our reach and the fact that giving is bidirectional—the community and donors give to us, and we give back to the community.” The foundation partners with donors and nonprofits to support residents in 29 communities that make up Greater Hartford. Williams said their focus is to “dismantle structural racism and help build equitable opportunities” in areas including basic human needs, employment and education, thriving neighborhoods, civic and resident engagement, and the arts. “The mission is about putting philanthropy into action to create lasting solutions, to help add vibrancy to all the 29 towns that we serve.” Williams said their centennial year showcased those priorities in practice. The foundation recapitalized local funds in each of its 29 towns with $100,000 for volunteer-led grantmaking, launched the Greater Future Scholarship in partnership with Hartford Promise—providing up to $100,000 in financial assistance plus a decade of wraparound supports—and announced $6 million in investments for artists and arts organizations across the region. The nonprofit also partnered with the Connecticut Forum for an event with President Barack Obama in Hartford. “The entire year was about just trying to convey to the community how deeply appreciative we were, and continue to be of their generosity, and to also demonstrate that we are here for good—we are here for the next 100 years,” Williams said. The foundation closed the year by unveiling the new name and a plan to break ground on a community-centered headquarters in the city's North End. The building will serve as a community hub, convening donors and nonprofits. It will also offer a no-cost space for neighborhood groups and community organizations. “We want to assist the small businesses in that Albany Avenue, Main Street corridor. We want the citizens and the neighborhood groups to have access,” he said. Williams' path to the foundation began in Youngstown, Ohio, a city he said has a similar blue-collar grit and perseverance to Hartford. After starting his career in banking, he moved into public service as the city's director of community development. He was elected mayor in 2005, becoming the youngest and first Black mayor in the city's history. His focus on economic revival eventually led him to Washington, D.C., where he joined the Obama administration in 2005 with roles focused on community and economic development. Williams said he never sought out the position in the administration but felt humbled by the opportunity. "When your secretary calls and says, 'The White House is on the phone,' you've got to take that call," he said. Williams joined the foundation in 2017. “The board was looking for someone with some community economic development background,” he said. “To me, I was like, this is the perfect combination. If someone said, ‘write your next perfect job,' this would have been it.” Reflecting on his career, Williams said each chapter has reinforced the same lesson: “It's more important to be impactful than it is to be successful,” he said. “If you focus on relevance and impact, success will follow.” Related Links: Greater Hartford Gives Website: https://greaterhartfordgives.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/greaterhartfordgives/ Jay Williams LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-williams47/ CBIA Website: https://www.cbia.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cbia/

How did 19th century Maryland pro-slavery advocates weaponize witch trial narratives against Connecticut abolitionists? Returning guest Dr. Richard Ross III reveals a fabricated 1848 witch trial story designed to discredit Connecticut's anti-slavery movement following the Amistad U. S. Supreme Court case victory.This conversation explores the intersection of witch trial history and American slavery through the curious case of Juliana Cox, a completely fictional Connecticut witch whose story appeared in Maryland newspapers to embarrass Connecticut abolitionists. We consider how missing colonial documents created space for propaganda, examine the real Connecticut witch trials that were hidden for generations, and discuss how witch trial rhetoric became a political weapon in debates over slavery and abolition.Dr. Ross shares research on how the Wyllys family papers disappeared into private collections, why Connecticut's witch trial history remained largely unknown until the 20th century, and the deliberate creation of a witch trial hoax borrowed from English folklore sources to serve pro-slavery political goals.Connecticut witch trial records and their disappearance into private collectionsThe Amistad trial and Connecticut abolitionist movementFabricated witch trial narratives as political propagandaHow pro-slavery advocates compared abolitionists to Salem witch trial accusersThe real witch trials of colonial Connecticut finally documentedAlice Young: Connecticut's first executed witchExamining bodies for witch marks in colonial New EnglandLiterary and political uses of witch trial rhetoric in 19th century AmericaDr. Richard Ross III is a historian and Professor Emeritus from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where he taught a seminar on New England witch trials for over ten years.

You've done gigs where nothing goes according to plan, but this episode reminds you that chaos is often the classroom. From sleeping on road cases at the Puerto Rican Day Parade to riding a flatbed packed with servo-driven subs that overwhelmed even earplugs and shooting cans, you hear how real-world pressure forges real skills. Mike deAlmeida walks you through learning to roll with it, figuring out systems on the fly before tools like Smaart were common, and walking into unknown gigs where the unknown singer/songwriter turns out to be Shawn Colvin. The lesson is clear: when you don't know the band, communication is everything. Ask how they sound, listen closely, and remember that for that moment, you are part of the band. You're playing the “mixing keyboard” today, so Always Be Performing. As the night wears on, the room changes and so must you. Heat, humidity, and ear fatigue quietly shift the mix, especially in the highs and high-mids, and Mike explains why gradual adjustments beat drastic moves every time. You're reminded to watch the show, not just the meters, and to listen first before using tools like Smaart to confirm what your ears already know. From sweating out microphones and treating them like EQ devices to protecting your hearing with custom molds, active earplugs, and smart exposure management, this episode ties craft, tech, and longevity together. Layer in legendary Celebrity Week stories, the Van Halen M&Ms lesson, and Beach Boys theatrics, and you're left with one guiding principle: mix a good show, every time, because that's how careers last. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 517 – Monday, January 19th, 2026 January 19th: Tin Can Day Guest co-host: Mike deAlmeida, Program Director, Audio Engineering at University of Hartford NAMM coming up!

You learn so much. It all comes back to communication skills For FOH engineers, watch the show! Pay attention to the band members 00:24:30 Sound changes throughout the night Heat and humidity will cause ebbs and flows (especially outdoors, but even inside) Watch the highs and high-mids Sound travels faster through a thick medium Gradual adjustments so it sounds better Increasing the mains throughout the show to keep the perceived level due to ear fatigue Smaart Live for tweaking live sound Listen first, then use the gear to confirm what you're hearing 00:31:35 When I mix, I want to hear a good show So I tell the sound guy (me) to mix a good show 00:32:57 Using the tech to isolate live to find (and fix) problems Beyerdynamic MM1 – a measurement mic AND a podcast mic 00:33:48 Learning the nuances of problems 00:35:24 Hot lights to add to the sun!

Send us a textWhat if kindness could rebuild a city block by block—and it started with a free concert? We sit down with Stephan Palmer, founder and CEO of Youth on Fire, to trace the journey from community shows in Hartford to a full-scale mentoring and family support network changing how youth grow, learn, and lead. Stephan's approach is disarmingly simple: build trust first, then layer in faith, academics, and real-world creativity. When a mentor says, “We're the GPS; you pick the destination,” kids stop bracing for judgment and start mapping their futures.You'll hear how a silent middle schooler lit up over Naruto and, session by session, found his voice, his footing, and a passion for service—now volunteering at coat and school supply drives and bringing friends into the fold. We dig into Hartford's unique pressures—parents working multiple jobs, kids feeling unseen—and how Youth on Fire answers with relevant skills: music production, fashion design, podcasting, branding, and entrepreneurship. Cross-promotion becomes a classroom, and collaboration becomes a credential. As confidence rises, grades follow, and the spark of possibility grows into a plan.Partnerships make the model scalable. Schools secured grants and Apple labs that transformed a single laptop into a media hub. A cosmetology school and a retailer help single dads step into interviews with dignity. State leaders supported licensing, MOUs, and family-centered work that stabilizes homes and lifts outcomes. Stefan shares future plans to add a women's component and thoughtfully expand beyond Connecticut, while keeping the core promise intact: listen deeply, act practically, and let youth leadership drive the ripple effect.If stories of real transformation give you hope, this one delivers—with concrete tools, candid moments, and a roadmap any community can adapt. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who cares about kids and families, and leave a review so more people can find it. Your ripple starts here.Support the show

From Eastern Conference Finalists in 2022 and 2024 to NHL bottom-feeder. The New York Rangers fall from the NHL's elite has been stunning with much of the blame being heaped on GM Chris Drury.Vincent Mercogliano covers the Rangers for The Athletic and joins Neil and Vic to do a deep dive into the current state of the franchise, how they got to this point and where they go in a 100th anniversary season that has been anything but memorable.In Three Things You Need to Pay Attention To, it took more than half of the season but we finally have a head coaching change. Also, the Lightning remain on fire while guess who's back in a playoff spot?IN THIS EPISODE:[01:43] – Three Things You Need to Pay Attention To[13:10] – Vince Mercogliano joins the show and delivers a very extensive breakdown of how things have fallen apart at MSG. The on ice product is visible to all but much of the issues of today have their roots going back as far as two years with several episodes taking place off the ice.[22:25] – Further elaboration on the acquisitions made by GM Chris Drury and why hasn't there been greater accountability from ownership?[26:04] – Perhaps equally distressing for the Rangers organization is an equally weak team in Hartford with three prospects continuing to struggle at the NHL level. Add in the underwhelming career of the first overall pick in the 2020 Entry Draft.[31:06] – Perhaps one of the biggest rubs with GM Drury has been his treatment of players. This coming from a former player, captain of the Rangers and a Stanley Cup Champion in Colorado.[34:10] – The future of Artemi Panarin.[37:13] – The positives Vince sees in the immediate amidst the mess of the 2025-26 season.[39:44] – Updates on Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin[40:21] – More on Fox. Injury aside, the reported pursuit of Quinn Hughes in New York and the not getting a call for the Olympics has been a double whammy.[43:36] - Putting a wrap on the discussion with Vincent Mercogliano.[45:35] - Coaching updates on a milestone for Jon Cooper and a health scare for a former NHL coach working in the KHL.[51:36] - 2026 NHL Draft to be held in Buffalo.[55:00] - The ongoing drama at the main rink at the Milan-Cortina Olympic site.[58:00] - Personnel items.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #PatrickHoffman #NHL #SummerCoolers #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #VincentMercogliano #TheAthletic #DeanEvason #SteveMcCarthy #RickBowness #DougMacLean #ScottHowson #JarmoKekalainen #DonWaddell #JohnnyGaudreau #JimMontgomery #DrewBannister #LukeRichardson #NHLonTNT #KenHolland #BooneJenner #BraydenPoint #CamYork ##ChrisJohnson #TSN #ConnorBedard #SamBennett #WyattJohnston #MarkScheifele #JulienBrisebois #WilliamNylander #MitchMarner...

If you're planning a trip to Ireland in 2026 these tips will make planning smoother, help you avoid crowds, and maybe even save you a bit of money. Probably the most important tips are when NOT to be in Dublin, but there are some updates to European entry & exit systems that you need to know, as well as really important advice for 2027. Jody Halsted – Ireland Family Vacations and the Traveling in Ireland podcast In case you're wondering why you would want to get your Ireland travel advice from me… My name is Jody Halsted, and I am an Ireland travel advisor. I have been traveling to and through Ireland for over 23 years (!!), publish Ireland Family Vacations, host the Traveling in Ireland podcast, assist hundreds of travelers with their Ireland vacations each year and, occasionally, I also host small group tours through Ireland (I have 2 this spring so you can look forward to some live from Ireland episodes in April and May). That's a lot! But Ireland travel is my passion; and my goal -100% – is to help you have an amazing Ireland vacation. And I have quite a few ways to do that. My website, Ireland Family Vacations, is a complete resource for Ireland vacation planning – filled with information on what to do & see as well as handy tips for planning your trip and free itineraries to get your plans in motion quickly. (Don't let the name fool you! I travel through Ireland solo, with my husband, with my family, and hosting small group tours. Whatever your group size or dynamic I am able to assist!) My itinerary personalization, vacation coaching, and custom itinerary creation services help you maximize your Ireland experience, and my small group guided tours are designed to not only deliver the ‘authentic' Ireland of your dreams but also introduce you to the people and hidden places that make the country so very magical. If you love the process of planning your trip the Ireland Travel Compass walks you step-by-step through my expert process, from when to visit and how long the perfect vacation lasts, to what to see, where to stay, and even what to eat. It's basically my entire Ireland vacation planning brain laid out. On a more personal note, I have 2 daughters, now in college, who have been traveling through Ireland with me since before they could toddle and one very supportive husband (who loves it when I plan other people's vacations because it means I'm not planning my own).

Now that you know all about me, let's jump into what you need to know as you consider planning an Ireland vacation in 2026! This article is based on Traveling in Ireland podcast episode 320.

In Case of Cancellation Read and understand cancellation policies on everything from flights and transportation to tours and accommodations before booking. If booking with a credit card be aware of the cancellation coverage you may have with that card. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you book tickets our tours that don't allow 100% refund if cancelled. And always if you are booking a tour package (and not necessarily the one the company offers). 2026 Looks like Another Busy Year from Travel to Ireland from North America Irish tourism numbers showed that tourism from Europe into Ireland was down, but numbers from North America remained steady. From my perspective things are already looking busy, especially in the months of May, late August, and September. (The shoulder season is the new high season.) More Direct Flights to Ireland in 2026 Aer Lingus, Ireland's flagship airline is adding 2 new US routes in 2026, bringing the total to 18 routes from Dublin!This is important because Aer Lingus is considered a ‘budget' carrier. And when budget carriers enter a market, US based airlines will drop rates to compete.
