He took all the journalism courses he could fit in while an undergraduate student in wildlife management and served as an intern with Maine Public Television nightly newscast in the early 1970s. Ron is an adjunct faculty member at College of the Atlantic, teaching courses on community development. Ron served on the Bar Harbor Town Council for six years and is currently board chair for the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor, where he has lived since 1975. Look for him on the Allagash River in June, and whenever he can get away, in the highlands of Scotland where he was fortunate to spend two sabbaticals. Liz Graves joined Talk of the Towns as co-producer and co-host in July 2022, having long admired public affairs programming on WERU and dreamed of getting involved in community radio. She works as the Town Clerk for the Town of Bar Harbor, and is a former editor of the Mount Desert Islander weekly newspaper. Liz grew up in California and came to Maine as a schooner sailor.

If you or someone you know has ever dealt with addiction or is in some sort of recovery process, then this is the podcast for you.  Unfortunately, it is all too common to have known someone close that has dealt with something like this.  Both Maggie and Courtney of Iron Wolf Recovery share their powerful stories with us today and their visions that I think will make a huge impact on our community. At Iron Wolf Recovery, they are on a mission to helping people cultivate a lifestyle that is nurturing to an individuals' recovery.  The IRW model is based on a mixture of personal experience and scientific evidence. Not only has physical activity been shown to be effective in supporting mental health and recovery, exercise as means to reduce the vulnerability to return to use has a scientific backing.  Physical activity has been shown to help to restore some of the chemical imbalances created by chronic drug and alcohol use. Maggie and Courtney are two inspiring people and I think you will really enjoy their amazing perspectives on today's episode!  Check them out!   Reach out to Iron Wolf Recovery: Via website: https://ironwolfrecovery.org/ Via Instagram: @ironwolfrecovery Via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Iron-Wolf-Recovery-CHS-104997710884160/

WASHINGTON - Pulling up the rock and seeing what's there is the concept at the heart of investigative reporting. But finding a great funding source, a great backing, for an investigation can be difficult. Two of our friends, former podcast producer Jolie Lee and former professor at AU, Mishi Ibrahim work at the Investigative Reporting Workshop and find themselves in this position â€" having money to do an investigation! They are working on co-creating an investigative piece for a Showtime/60 Minutes collaboration. "Years of Living Dangerously is an 8-part, 8-hour series. It's about climate change and putting a human face on climate change and investigating some interesting things that are going on around the world," says Ibrahim. IRW was approached 2 years ago to be involved in the project and although Ibrahim says they knew it was a big project to take on, they knew it would be worthwhile. The project is being executive produced by legendary director James Cameron. Ibrahim talks about finding the balance between creating a beautifully shot, high production value project while still making sure it has investigative integrity. "Our job is to do all the research and plan everything and be prepared for that to be thrown to the wind when we get out in the field," Ibrahim says she tells Lee when preparing for shoots. The biggest challenge, they say, is finding the characters to follow for a period of time who will allow them to tell the story. In the end, it is a visual product but there has to be the content to support it. They also share their process for investigating a project of this size. The duo are working with actors who are narrating the piece, major directors and lots of equipment â€" something Lee had little experience with before this. "It was such an opportunity that just dropped in my lap because I don't have any film or documentary making experience and a huge part of this is production. We're working with all these gadgets I've never worked with. We use dollies, cranes, even drones. It's a whole new world. I think the key is being flexible ... but you're still bringing your journalistic eye to everything you do," Lee says. Although Ibrahim had her choice of who she wanted as an associate producer, she thought of Lee because of her hard-working reporting background. "I'm a big believer that you don't have know tho the technology and everything. You just have to be smart," Ibrahim says. The Investigative Reporting Workshop is housed at American University. You can find them online and the series is expected to be completed in April.
