What if fewer mics could help you make better records? Alan Evans (Soulive) joins me to talk 4-track recording, Iceland sessions, AI in music, and how simplicity, mindset, and health can fuel your best creative work.   Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Alan Evans, a recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, producer, and musician based in Western Massachusetts. Alan's probably best known as the drummer and co-founder of Soulive, but over the past 30 years, he's also built a deep discography engineering, producing, and shaping the sound of hundreds of recordings. He grew up in a musically rich household in Buffalo, NY, soaking in the sounds of Miles Davis, Ray Charles, and Jimi Hendrix which ignited his interest in music. As a teenager, he hit the clubs and started recording bands, teaching himself the craft of recording, mixing, and production from the ground up. These days, Alan continues to push boundaries through his label, Vintage League Music, with projects spanning jazz, funk, reggae, rock, and Americana—including recent recordings with Oteil Burbridge and MonoNeon at Floki Studios in Iceland, and a new album with Charlie Hunter and Ella Feingold at Pilot Recording Studios in Housatonic, MA. Alan's been on the show before in episodes RSR183, RSR339, and RSR440—and I'm psyched to have him back again, this time in person for video at Ready To Rock Studios.

This segment is focusing on a small but important group of Connecticut's hungry - students attending our community college network. In the few years since it opened, the Food Pantry at CT State Housatonic has gone from feeding a few hundred to thousands of students, so we'll speak to a pair of representatives from that operation to bring you up to speed on how things are going so far this year, and how you might be able to help support the cause.

We're opening with a focus on a small but important group of Connecticut's hungry - students attending our community college network. In the few years since it opened, the Food Pantry at CT State Housatonic has gone from feeding a few hundred to thousands of students, so we'll speak to a pair of representatives from that operation to bring you up to speed on how things are going so far this year, and how you might be able to help support the cause. Then we'll be catching the buzz with the Back Yard Beekeepers Association, which is inviting anyone who cares about these critical pollinators to learn from their monthly meeting info session, and from their next "Bee School," which is signing up its next class right now. And we're closing with important updates about the upcoming election and how easy Connecticut is making it for you to still get registered and vote - whether at the polls on November 4, by Absentee Ballot, or as part of the state's very first year providing Early Voting opportunities.

We reached out to the Director of the Housatonic Museum of Art to hear about her dream to bring together dozens of two-year college art gallery professionals, and how she is poised to host the nation's first ever gathering of these colleagues with the aim of taking academic art institutions to new heights across the country.

Eric Loftus was there as a businessman through the past decade as tennis grew in the Northeast, and in New England, in particular. He's been building pickleball courts throughout the region and has seen that sport rise almost as fast as slam of a whiffle ball. Now, he is hoping to be there for the boom that will be the new sport invading our shores from Europe: Padel. He believes the sun is only just rising over the future growth of padel. With his high school mate, Loftus built an empire through tennis court construction. Working with country and tennis clubs and private residences, Loftus has crisscrossed New England and the northeast in search of new spaces for tennis, and running tracks, provided for the other segment of his clientele: educational institutions and public facilities. He knows the market for courts and tracks, from the clay courts of Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, to the tracks and concrete of Providence and Springfield. Padel Is Far Different From Pickleball But now, he's looking at Padel. Loftus believes that, long term, padel rather than pickleball may be the sport to usurp the grip that tennis has on its racquet competitors. He even sees a possibility of padel joining forces with tennis, say, at the US Open in Flushing Meadows. What's interesting about his view is that, unlike how many regard pickleball, he doesn't view padel as an opponent trying to take replace tennis courts and kill off his main business of building tennis courts. He sees padel as an addition. Country clubs are going in circles, says Loftus. He calls it the "wild wild west" is the current state of play with padel court construction. Clubs are watching what investors are doing with the sport and promotion. While private equity team up with racquet sport enthusiasts to join forces and investigate various ways to house and build padel courts, Loftus is left holding the figurative shovel until the nod is given. Once he receives the "ok" he can import the structures from Spain and start to add to the 350 courts already here in the States. Finally, it might be time to invest in those old red-brick mercantile and textile factory buildings in New England from New Bedford to New London and inland along the rivers like the Housatonic and the Connecticut. Loftus is always looking up, as he has to find ceilings over 24 feet. Come and have a listen and maybe you'll be raising the roof!

Farmington River Show Notes with Antoine Bissieux 1:34 - Antoine gives us an update since he guested on our podcast in episode 424. He talks about that time when he spent two weeks in the Farmington River with his old friend, Yannick Riviere, and some other anglers. When they were there, a tremendous storm came in. 8:20 - His season comes to an end after Christmas. He doesn't start fishing until mid-March. It varies from year to year depending on the weather. In his spare time, he usually ties flies and creates watches, which he finds relaxing. 11:07 - Antoine teaches us about Connecticut's best rivers. The Housatonic River is a beautiful river that offers excellent fishing in the fall and spring. Summer pike and bass fishing in Housatonic are fantastic. It's double the size of the Farmington. The Farmington is Connecticut's most well-known river. Click here for a list of the top 15 fly fishing locations in Connecticut. 15:14 - He explains why Farmington is the number one river to visit in Connecticut. To fish the Farmington, he advises starting from the section between New Hartford and Riverton. He mentions a guidebook to fishing the Farmington by the Farmington River Anglers Association. 20:02 - If you're going to hit dry flies in the Farmington River, the best month would be from the end of May to July. He also mentions the bugs present at this time. 22:53 - His off-season patterns are typically some form of crippled or handicapped bug. He mentions a fly that looks identical to it. A fly created by Yannick that he claims is hard to sink also works well for him. 29:00 - He gives more dry fly tips and tricks. He says that a good fly is nothing else but a good cast. 33:20 - We talk about his leader setup and other gear in detail. 40:44 - Antoine highly recommends Bestard boots for wading. 44:47 - He discusses the Magic CDC, a new CDC on the market that is not yet accessible in the United States. 46:37 - He uses a semi-automatic reel from Peux Fly Fishing, notably the Fulgor 01 which is also available at the Tactical Fly Fisher. He explains the difference between an automatic and semi-automatic reel. 51:40 - I ask him questions from our listeners about the rod and reel combo for fresh and saltwater and streamer fishing. 53:51 - He provides additional useful dry fly fishing tips and tricks. He recounts using a CDC fly called berzilleuse, which Yannick named for himself. 57:05 - He tells the secret of a good dry fly cast. 59:50 - He does fishing sessions with Orvis.   Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/494 

Native Americans in western and eastern Connecticut had decidedly different experiences when white European settlers arrived. This episode focuses on the Native Americans of western Connecticut, who avoided direct involvement in the brutal Indian Wars #1 and #2 (Pequot War and King Phillip's War). Two reservations exist in western CT, and they are quite small, when compared to those found elsewhere throughout the U.S. Learn about the history and the myths of past Native American activities along the Housatonic and Still Rivers from Western Connecticut State University Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Dr. Laurie Weinstein.

Annea Lockwood thinks of rivers as “live phenomena” that are constantly changing and shifting. She's been drawn to the energy that rivers create, and the sound that energy makes, since she first started working with environmental recordings in the 1960s.One of her projects has been to create detailed “river maps” of the Hudson, Danube, and Housatonic rivers. Using stereo microphones and underwater hydrophones, she captures the gentle, powerful sounds of the water, along with the noises of insects, birds, and occasional humans she finds along the way.Lockwood's 2010 composition, “A Sound Map of the Housatonic River”, takes listeners on a 150-mile tour, from the headwaters in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, past sites of toxic PCB contamination, to the Connecticut Audubon sanctuary, where the river spills into Long Island Sound. You can also hear an excerpt of the full composition at Annea Lockwood's music portfolio.Universe of Art is hosted and produced by D Peterschmidt, who also wrote the theme music. Charles Bergquist and John Dankosky provided production assistance. The original segment was produced by John Dankosky, and hosted by Ira Flatow. Our show art was illustrated by Abelle Hayford.

We're circling back to the Wheeler Health network to help celebrate the recent CT Community Foundation grant supporting Wheeler's Walk With Me program -  creating a safe, affirming, and inclusive array of outpatient services for LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones. Then head back up the mighty Housatonic to catch up with the Housatonic River Commission - the decades-long driving force behind a recent federal 'Wild & Scenic' designation that was provided for one of the most pristine stretches of that western Connecticut waterway. Finally, we'll lead you from the river to the forest, to catch up with the Aspetuck Land Trust and invite you to explore the 2100-plus acres they manage in southwestern Connecticut — while learning more about their Green Corridor initiative and other cool activities for the spring and summer.

We've got exciting news for farmers, gardeners and those who love our land resources - The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut (NOFA-CT) is with us previewing the 41st Winter Conference coming up in March and culminating with an in-person gathering and celebration at Wesleyan University. Then, we'll tell you about CONNIE - the CT Health Exchange that's required to implement by May. There are more than a few serious concerns about it and a lot that consumers aren't aware of — so we'll call on the President of the CT Psychological Association to help unpack some of the key details you need to know. And we'll close with more good environmental news - a 41-mile section of the Housatonic River just received federal Wild and Scenic designation, which should lead to better protections for the waterway. So we'll chat up a leader from the Housatonic Valley Association - one of the two organizations that helped Connecticut earn this high profile national designation to learn more.

Le premier navire coulé par un sous-marin ne l'a pas été durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ni même durant la guerre de 1914-1918. C'est en 1864, au cours de la guerre de Sécession, qu'il fut envoyé par le fond. Un sous-marin à propulsion humaine Le premier sous-marin à avoir coulé un navire est le H.L. Hunley. Il fut construit, au début de la guerre de Sécession, sur les conseils d'un homme d'affaires sudiste. Ce petit submersible mesurait un peu plus de 12 mètres de long et pesait environ 8 tonnes. Il ne pouvait accueillir qu'un modeste équipage de 8 hommes, qui actionnait le sous-marin à la main, au moyen d'une simple manivelle. Le submersible était équipé d'une charge explosive placée au bout d'une sorte de harpon. Après quelques essais réussis, le sous-marin coule à deux reprises, entraînant la mort de plusieurs marins. Après de tels échecs, un officier sudiste s'exclame que le Hunley sera sans doute plus dangereux pour ceux qui l'utilisent que pour leurs adversaires. Un double naufrage Malgré ses évidents défauts, les Sudistes décident d'utiliser le sous-marin pour briser le blocus de Charleston, dans le sud des États-Unis. Le 17 février 1864, le Hunley repère donc sa cible, le Housatonic, ancré dans le port de Charleston. À la force du poignet, le sous-marin fonce vers le navire et le heurte de son bélier. La charge explose comme prévu. Le navire sombre, entraînant 5 hommes d'équipage dans la mort. Le Housatonic est donc le premier bateau à être coulé par un sous-marin. Mais le même sort attendait le submersible. En effet, celui-ci se met à dériver, puis sombre à son tour. Tous les marins périssent dans le naufrage. Dans l'épave du Hunley, repérée dès 1995 et remontée à la surface en 2000, on a retrouvé les squelettes des membres d'équipage. Ils n'avaient donc pas eu le temps de quitter leurs postes. D'après les spécialistes, qui se sont livrés à une série d'essais, avec un sous-marin miniature, l'explosion aurait produit une onde de choc assez puissante pour détruire les poumons des sous-mariniers.

Le Housatonic est donc le premier bateau à être coulé par un sous-marin. Mais le même sort attendait le submersible.En effet, celui-ci se met à dériver, puis sombre à son tour. Tous les marins périssent dans le naufrage. Dans l'épave du Hunley, repérée dès 1995 et remontée à la surface en 2000, on a retrouvé les squelettes des membres d'équipage. Ils n'avaient donc pas eu le temps de quitter leurs postes.D'après les spécialistes, qui se sont livrés à une série d'essais, avec un sous-marin miniature, l'explosion aurait produit une onde de choc assez puissante pour détruire les poumons des sous-mariniers.

Celebrating Earth Day With Sustainable Action Today is Earth Day, when many people around the world are taking time to think about their relationship with the planet and to focus on activities helping to mitigate the existential problems our environment faces. And we will be doing the same: devoting our program to Earth Day stories, ideas, and issues. Sara Kiley Watson, assistant editor at Popular Science in charge of their sustainability coverage, joins Ira to talk about some challenges facing our planet—from air pollution in megacities to the tension between ethanol biofuels and food supplies. She also offers some tips for actions individuals can take to make a small difference on their own, such as improving home energy efficiency even if you're a renter, reducing the impact of your takeout order, or considering a neighborhood microgrid.   Can The Latest IPCC Report Pave The Way To Better Climate Policy? One of the best resources to understand the state of our climate crisis is the report developed by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), every six to seven years. The most recent installment of the IPCC report, compiled by Working Group III, was released earlier this month. It outlined ambitious steps needed to mitigate some of the worst possible climate futures. It's increasingly unlikely that we'll be able to keep the planet from warming by an average of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Yet, the report optimistically focuses on achieving that 1.5 degree benchmark. The report's recommendations include things like phasing out coal entirely, slashing methane emissions by a third, reducing our carbon output among all sectors of the global economy, and developing new technologies to help us do it. But how do governments make laws to reach these goals? That's not addressed in the IPCC report. Ira is joined by David Victor, professor of innovation and public policy in the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego to discuss the difficulty in developing climate policy solutions and some that seem promising.   Can Carbon Removal Actually Make A Difference In Reducing Emissions? One of the technologies highlighted in the latest IPCC report is carbon removal. Not to be confused with carbon capture, CO2 removal is a process that absorbs CO2 already in the atmosphere and stores it elsewhere. Carbon capture, on the other hand, is removing CO2 from smokestacks, for example, before it gets into the air. CO2 removal technology has some climate scientists worried about pouring money into this new technology, in lieu of cutting back on our reliance on fossil fuels. Joining Ira is Amar Bhardwaj, energy technology policy fellow at the International Energy Agency, to talk about the pros and cons of carbon removal.   Composing A Sound Map Of An Ever-Changing River Annea Lockwood thinks of rivers as “live phenomena” that are constantly changing and shifting. She's been drawn to the energy that rivers create, and the sound that energy makes, since she first started working with environmental recordings in the 1960s. One of her projects has been to create detailed “river maps” of the Hudson, Danube, and Housatonic rivers. Using stereo microphones and underwater hydrophones, she captures the gentle, powerful sounds of the water, along with the noises of insects, birds, and occasional humans she finds along the way. Lockwood's composition, “A Sound Map of the Housatonic River”—a decade old, this year—takes listeners on a 150-mile tour, from the headwaters in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, past sites of toxic PCB contamination, to the Connecticut Audubon sanctuary, where the river spills into Long Island Sound.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.      

Robert Malone has been all over the media spreading his message. Some say he is the inventor of MRNA tech. Some say otherwise. Mark from Housatonic gives us his view on the situation. It's a barn burner.  Find Kev Baker memorial go fund me here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/kev-baker-memorial?fbclid=IwAR3157pAcrMIQ2aIuF91DuTHXjkgx0bur8cj1rKRElj8dt3csQUKoEU5yi8 Find Spars document here; https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/publications/the-spars-pandemic-2025-2028-a-futuristic-scenario-to-facilitate-medical-countermeasure-communication        

Many train companies have operated in Connecticut since the 1800s. Most have gone out of business, leaving rusted rails or converted "rail-trail" hiking opportunities. The Housatonic Railroad is a rarity amongst the group. While their passenger service ended 50 years ago, you can still see the iconic yellow diesels hauling freight up and down western Connecticut a few times a day. The history of the line is magical -- from its "love-hate relationship" with farmers, to its unique passenger service, majestic former train stations, breathtaking scenery and its unfortunate share of tragic accidents. Four guests share their knowledge of the line: Susan DelBianco, a local historian and an expert on the Housatonic; Peter McLoughlin, a retired Housatonic train engineer with lots of captivating memories, Jeremy Ruman, Board President of the organization that's restoring the historic Merwinsville Hotel, which figured prominently in the railroad's past; and Bob Brown, President of the Brookfield Museum and Historical Society, where a major train station and key cog in the Housatonic's operations used to exist.
