What happens when a 19-year-old hunter sets up a tree stand in the quiet woods of Kittery, Maine — only to encounter something that tears it to pieces days later? In this chilling episode, we sit down with Tim, an outdoorsman from New Hampshire, who shares the full story of a 1989 encounter that still haunts him to this day. You'll hear what it's like to have something upright, massive, and loud walk up behind you in the twilight woods — and what it feels like to come back later and find your entire setup shredded, with a single reddish-brown hair left behind.And in the second half of the episode, we're joined by a Georgia resident who lived at ground zero during one of the most controversial moments in Bigfoot history — what most people consider to be the 2008 "Bigfoot in a freezer" hoax. But what he shares isn't about a hoax — it's about what happened in Rex, Georgia, when the media storm descended, armed men filled the woods, and the neighborhood knew exactly what was living in the creek. From laughing hunters tangled in vines to government officials shutting everything down — this is the side of the story you've never heard before.

Pete Endres grew up dreaming of owning a farm.And when his mother passed away in 2011, Pete and his brothers decided they wanted to not only own a farm, but to open up a cidery on said property.Pete, who later moved to the Seacoast in the mid-2010s, spent years searching for the perfect property until, finally, he found it in 2019.That farm? It's now home to Bird Dog Cider in Greenland, N.H., which formally opened its doors last fall.From the cozy confines of Bird Dog, Pete sits down with host Troy Farkas to discuss his childhood days of apple farming in western New York, the blood, sweat, and tears poured into revitalizing the once-dilapidated farm, the family atmosphere that defines Bird Dog, and having lines out the door the day they opened their barn doors to the public.

The best restaurant on the Seacoast?Some will tell you it's The Black Birch.Tucked away in Kittery Foreside, this gastropub is a fan favorite lauded for its deviled eggs, short rib, cocktails, and intimate setting. In fact, when Ben Lord and Gavin Baudry started dreaming of having their own spot while both serving tables of Anneke Jans, the vision they'd laid out is nearly identical to what "The Birch" has become. From Kittery Foreside, Ben Lord and host Troy Farkas discuss what led him and his business partners to open The Birch 14 years ago, its role in the evolution of Kittery Foreside, how the Birch has enjoyed 14 years of success, the state of the Seacoast restaurant industry, the labor shortage, and the key role his other restaurant, Chapel + Main, has played in the revitalization of downtown Dover.CHAPTERS:The appeal of the restaurant industry (00:00)Working at Anneke Jans (05:40)Why they opened The Black Birch (10:00)Bridge closures & Kittery Foreside's evolution (14:02)SPONSORS: Sea Love Portsmouth & Chinburg Properties (21:55)Why people love The Birch (24:50)EVENTS: Seacoast Stories Dinner Club & Seacoast Singles (33:55)Chapel & Main's role in revitalizing Dover (35:10)The state of the Seacoast restaurant scene (42:30)How do you want to be remembered?

In August 1905, the eyes of the world were looking at Portsmouth, N.H.The site of the peace talks for ending the Russo-Japanese War, Portsmouth played host to the delegates from Russia and Japan, who hashed out the particulars of the deal at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.In this weeks-long affair, the citizens of Portsmouth rallied around the cause, hosting dinners, parties, and parades to create an environment suitable for bringing the Russo-Japanese War (named World War Zero due to alliances) to a swift end.On today's episode, Portsmouth Treaty expert Stephanie Seacord joins the podcast to discuss why Russia and Japan went to war, why the United States intervened, how Portsmouth became the center of the talks, what happened at the shipyard, why the citizens of Portsmouth are partly to thank for the war's end, and so much more.

We meet artist Joe Bradley, on the eve of his new solo show of new paintings in London. Animal Family is Bradley's second exhibition with David Zwirner since the announcement of his representation in May 2023. His celebrated debut at David Zwirner New York, Vom Abend, was presented in spring 2024. In November 2025, a major survey of Bradley's works from the past ten years will open at Kunsthalle Krems, Austria.In these new paintings, figurative elements—which Bradley had begun to develop in previous works—emerge as central compositional structures. ‘I have never really felt comfortable calling myself an abstract painter,' says Bradley. ‘There have always been flashes of figuration in my work. For whatever reason, at this moment, I feel ready to let it all come to the surface.' 1A group of horizontal paintings feature black contour lines that serve as scaffoldings for swaths of colour, floral blots of brushy paint, and scraped and stippled textural patches, which coalesce into hulking, animal-like forms that fill the surface of the support. Bradley builds up these forms until they achieve a loose balance between assembled wholes and disparate parts, establishing a dynamic tension in the work between cohesion and dissolution.In one painting, pinkish triangles read like teeth extending along a pronounced blue-and-white snout. Lines, shapes, and blots of colour momentarily read like a tail or paw but just as quickly come to stand as distinct visual components. This figural mass rests against a black ground dotted with white, suggesting a dark, star-filled sky. While related to those paintings, several vertical canvases represent a notable evolution in Bradley's work in which the human form becomes a broad organising principle. Shades of mid-century deconstructed figuration and other art-historical references and associations come through in these large, frontally oriented figures.Like his constant working and reworking of the formal and compositional elements in his paintings, such associations are part of Bradley's open and deliberative method of painterly accumulation and adaptation, whereby he constantly reacts and responds to the process of creation itself. In some of these paintings, the figure is quite discernible. In others, the formal elements share only a general relationship to the human form with eyelike ovals or leglike protrusions suggesting bodily architectures. Like the animal associations in the horizontal canvases, these roughly human-scale paintings reinforce such bodily associations, reflecting Bradley's sensitivity to the formal, compositional, and material qualities of his medium.Joe Bradley (b. 1975) is widely recognised for his expansive visual practice that encompasses painting as well as sculpture and drawing. Over the past twenty years, Bradley has constantly reinvented his approach to his art, creating a distinctive body of work that has ranged from modular, minimalist-style paintings and sculptures to rough-hewn, heavily worked surfaces featuring pictographic and abstract elements to refined and layered compositions that, as critic Roberta Smith notes, “balance gracefully between representation and abstraction.”Bradley was born in Kittery, Maine, and received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1999. He presently lives and works in New York. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a re-edited version of an interview that was first heard on "Light Hearted" in 2019. Jim Pope was a keeper at rugged Whaleback Lighthouse in Maine from 1960 to '62, and the light was automated and de-staffed a short time later. Whaleback is a ledge on the northeast side of the entrance to the Piscataqua River, on the approach to the harbor of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The 70-foot granite lighthouse tower was built in 1872. The keepers lived inside the tower itself. Whaleback Lighthouse, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont Jim Pope was born in Scarborough, Maine, in 1938. After graduation from Traip Academy in Kittery he began a lifelong career on the water. After his time in the Coast Guard, he worked as a tugboat captain for Moran Towing for more than 25 years.

Middle school is a terrible time for teenage girls. Their bodies are changing. Acne is developing. Boys are starting to look at them. And for whatever reason, girls start being really mean to each other. They often feel like no one understands them, like they have to pretend to be someone else, like they're supposed to mold themselves into what society expects them to be. Carrie Penna remembers these feelings. Now she's on a mission to make sure no Seacoast girl ever has to feel them again. In today's conversation from my makeshift studio in Portsmouth, the Executive Director of Soul Models and I discuss: Why I care about women's issues (00:00) Carrie's middle school experience (02:45) Living in San Diego (07:04) Working at Lululemon in NH (12:50) Why Carrie joined Soul Models (26:05) What Soul Models does (28:02) How to participate in Soul Models (38:18) Boys' struggles vs. girls' struggles (42:55) Soul Powerful event (47:10) Why Carrie froze her eggs (48:58) What's your mission?

Everyone wants to live on the Seacoast. And who can blame longtime city dwellers, newlyweds, retirees, or recent college graduates for wanting to plant down roots here? With proximity to mountains, beaches, great food, and Boston, the Seacoast is a highly practical place to call home. The problem is ... the demand doesn't meet the supply these days. So, as simple economics would have it, housing prices surge. Costly Seacoast real estate, unfortunately, is costing many aspiring homeowners their dreams of owning property, leaving lots of New Hampshirites and Mainers feeling dejected, hopeless, and like they'll have to settle for a house that doesn't meet their needs and wants. Fortunately, today's guest is here to help those who feel they're getting the short end of the real estate stick. In today's conversation from my makeshift studio in Portsmouth, Andrew Samonas, one of the Seacoast's leading real estate experts joins me to discuss: The importance of choosing the right home (00:00) The BTS of working in real estate (03:30) The state of Seacoast real estate (09:51) How to buy an (expensive) Seacoast home (14:30) How the U.S. economy impacts Seacoast housing (17:20) Under-the-radar Seacoast towns to buy property in (23:30) Buyers' biggest concerns (25:35) Buying vs. renting (30:36) Hearth Market's big miss (36:13) Why businesses struggle surviving in Portsmouth (43:00) What's your mission?

1983 - Kittery, Maine. Sometime after leaving work on February 3, 1983, 31-year-old Reeves K. Johnson vanished without a trace. Over the next three weeks, his bank account was drained to make strange purchases that weren't discovered until the account was overdrawn. The case went cold almost immediately. In 2021, Murder, She Told produced a special episode on Reeves' case, but a lot has changed since then. This is not that episode. In collaboration with the Kittery Police Dept, we have uncovered new information that wasn't known before. Listen to Reeves Johnson's story with a fresh perspective and new interview, go behind the scenes of the investigation, and hear first-hand how we discovered the first major clues of this newly re-opened unsolved case. If you have any information on the disappearance of Reeves Johnson, please contact Sgt. Brian Cummer of the Kittery Police Dept at (207) 439-1638 or bcummer@kitterypolice.com.
