Long before Champ, Vermont's Lake Champlain was said to be home to Odziozo, a colossal water beast from Abenaki legend. This ancient creature is credited with shaping the lake and surrounding land—and sightings of Odziozo outnumber those of Champ.

In this episode, we're tackling the massive news shaking the bass fishing world: the new BASSMASTER rules on Forward-Facing Sonar (FFS). Join the discussion as we break down the controversial decision to split the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Series season, with some tournaments allowing FFS and others banning it completely. We'll reveal which tournaments are FFS-free, including Lake Champlain and Santee Cooper, and which ones will still allow it, like the St. Lawrence River and Lake Murray. This change has huge implications for professional anglers. We also cover the latest retirements from two icons of the sport, Skeet Reese and Bernie Schultz, and discuss their legendary careers. Plus, we dive deep into the angler cuts from both the Bassmaster Elites and the MLF Bass Pro Tour, listing the pros who didn't requalify and debating what's next for them in the world of tournament bass fishing. Whether you're for or against the FFS ban, this is a must-watch conversation for every bass fishing fan. We share our candid opinions and want to hear yours in the comments! #BassFishing #ForwardFacingSonar #Bassmaster #MLF #Fishing #TournamentFishing #BassmasterElites

If being born in Butterfield Hospital defines someone as a true local, Jim Myatt more than fits the bill. Myatt, who turns 100 on Saturday (Aug. 30), was one of 21 babies born at the newly opened hospital in 1925. A century later, and 32 years after the hospital closed, Myatt is going strong. He has lived in Nelsonville for a century. Seventy years ago, Myatt built a home on Wood Avenue. He still resides there, along with his partner, Marie Gargano. They met about 10 years ago at the Philipstown senior center when it was in the American Legion on Cedar Street. "He chased me all over town, and I was like, 'What does he want?' " recalls Gargano, 87, with a laugh. "Eventually he gave me his card and said, 'Call me when you're ready.' " She called and they've been together for seven years. "He's kind, patient and never complains about anything," Gargano says. "He's just a great guy." Although Myatt suffered a stroke in December and has less than perfect hearing and eyesight, he remains active, including tending to his lawn on a riding mower. He makes breakfast every morning, a menu that usually includes coffee, V8 juice, scrambled eggs, hash browns and English muffins. He and Marie spend their weekday lunch hours at the Philipstown Friendship Center and on weekends they often enjoy watching NASCAR while sharing a single Miller High Life. Up until a few years ago they liked to drive go-karts at an indoor Poughkeepsie track that has since closed. They were also regular moviegoers until recently. One of Myatt's favorites is the 1980 comedy Hog Wild, and he loves pretty much any Western. The couple doesn't care for most of the latest Hollywood offerings. As a boy, Myatt loved hunting and fishing more than sports. He was a member of the Coon Hollow Bowmen, an archery club that had a course in the woods and trails near Breakneck Ridge. He also belonged to the Philipstown Rod & Gun Club and has fond memories of swimming in the Hudson River. When he was 14, he and a friend answered a Macy's ad that would be unusual today. "They were selling day-old baby chicks," Myatt said. "My friend bought 15 and I bought 25." He remembers his first car fondly, a used 1932 Chevy. Myatt was unable to serve during World War II because he suffered from asthma. "I had quite a few jobs working for town folks during the war," he said. He worked for the Allen Coal Co. in winter, drove a truck for the Percacciolo Co. in the summer and also worked for the local highway department. In 1945, Myatt married Jeanette Maddox. They had three children: Jackie, Jamie and Joan, 11 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. They divorced in 1972. Myatt married twice more, to Velma "Teddy" in 1975 and Ruthie in 1996. He has outlived all three wives. Myatt has always been involved in village life. He helped build the Nelsonville firehouse in the early 1950s and served as fire chief in the early 1960s. The fire company was disbanded in 2001, and the building now serves as a substation for the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. He ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Nelsonville Village Board in 1958. Beginning in the late 1960s, he was an officer with the Nelsonville Police Department for 10 years; the department disbanded in 1984. For the past 50 years, Myatt has been a member of Masonic Lodge No. 236, which occupies the former Hickory Grove Academy where Myatt attended school. He was also a founding member of the Cold Spring Boat Club when it was established in 1955. "In the 1960s, we had a cabin cruiser, and we'd go anywhere from the end of Long Island all the way up to Lake Champlain," his daughter, Jackie, recalls. "We were out on the river all summer long." Myatt worked at IBM for 35 years, retiring in 1987 as a senior model toolmaker. He still enjoys tinkering with the metal lathe and drill press in his garage. "He can still pull a car engine apart and put it back together," Jackie says. On Thursday (Aug. 28), the Philipstown Friendsh...

For most anglers, drum are a nuisance bycatch. The biggest reason drum get the cold shoulder? They're not great on the plate — or are they? Guide Drew Price runs dedicated drum trips on Lake Champlain each season and spends a lot of his personal fishing time getting after them. Why? Because they're reliable and pull a heck of a lot harder than bass and trout. Here's how to change your attitude. This episode is brought to you by Victorinox.

In this episode, we sat down live with Katy Elizabeth, the leading researcher behind the Lake Champlain mystery. Known for her years of dedication to uncovering the truth about Champ, Katy has built a career on evidence, eyewitness encounters, and relentless investigation that points to one undeniable fact: something is alive in Lake Champlain.Katy shared not only her own research and fieldwork but also the stories and testimonies she's gathered over the years—painting a picture of a thriving, breeding population of lake creatures. Her work challenges the idea of a lone monster, instead suggesting a dynamic ecosystem where cryptid creatures may move in and out of the lake system itself.We connected these findings with our own traditions in New Zealand, where tales of the Taniwha show striking similarities to Champ's story. Cross-cultural patterns and shared folklore raise bigger questions about what's really beneath the surface of our waters.Katy also gave us the inside scoop on her latest expedition to Scotland, where she investigated the legendary waters of Loch Ness and Loch Morar. From Lake Champlain to the Highlands, the hunt for lake monsters is alive and evolving.If you think you know Champ, think again—this conversation will make you see lake monsters in a whole new light.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook & YouTube: @cryptidwomenssocietyhttps://www.instagram.com/cryptidwomenssociety/https://www.facebook.com/cryptidwomenssocietyhttps://www.youtube.com/@CryptidWomensSocietyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@cryptidwomenssocietyJoin the movement: www.cryptidwomenssociety.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

The Northeast is the most densely populated part of our country, and is rich in opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking and camping, due to an extensive network of public lands and the massively successful wildlife restorations and legislation to clean up rivers and reclaim the industrial and mining mishaps of the past. None of our outdoor pursuits exist here by accident or by luck. The hunting and fishing, the habitat, the access that they depend upon, is the result of work inspired by a passion for making sure that something wonderful can go on and on, in the face of ever increasing challenges. Join us for a conversation with two BHA guys on the front lines, Lake Champlain's Brian Bird, rural New York-state native, PhD in geology, hunter, angler, and professional meatcutter, and Chris Borgatti, Eastern Policy and Conservation director, based in coastal Massachusetts on the Great Marsh, teacher, hunter, fisherman, surfer and endurance athlete. Let's talk brook trout, biodiversity, public lands and state agencies, family, hunting, and making sure that it goes on. ---- The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.

The August 2025 Sturgeon Moon will reach peak illumination on August 9 at 3:55 a.m. Eastern Time, coinciding with the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks August 12-13. The Sturgeon Moon is named after lake sturgeon that were once abundant in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Conservation efforts have helped restore lake sturgeon populations, and they are not currently listed under the Endangered Species Act. The brightness of the full moon is expected to reduce visibility of the Perseid meteors this year. NASA recommends the Geminids meteor shower in December for better meteor viewing.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

My relatively new friendship with Robyn Pray is undoubtedly a result of the universe connecting the two of us.  Here's how that happened and why this episode means so much to me.In the summer of 2023, I received a very kind and somewhat mysterious note from a name that I didn't recognize, though I did recognize the sender's address - Keeseville Free Library in Keeseville, New York.  Admittedly not being an avid reader or library-goer, I thought to myself “who and why is anyone from any library reaching out to me?”Turns out, Robyn had been on a quest to find a copy of “Corlear Bay Club - The First 100 Years”, written by Luisa Fernholz.  For context, Corlear Bay Club is the small private community located on the New York shores of Lake Champlain that my family has been coming to for 58 consecutive summers.  In her Google search for Fernholtz's book, she stumbled on my memoir, called The Perfect Club.  And although she never did find a copy of the original book she was after, Robyn took interest in my memoir, she found my contact info, and politely asked if I'd be open to sharing a copy of my memoir, which of course I did.I was honored and somewhat disbelieving that anyone other than my immediate family and friends even knew about my little memoir project.  It was then in the summer of 2024 that Robyn and I finally met in-person when I discovered that she was in fact, a DEADHEAD too.  Robyn was even kind enough to invite me to host a book-talk at the library that summer, and the rest as they say, is history!Recently I sat down with Robyn at the library to share a few concert war stories and learn more about how and what lead her to become the director of the institution known as the Keeseville Free Library, now celebrating its 99th anniversary.  Just a few short days after my interview with Robyn and in honor of the library's anniversary, the Corlear Bay and Keeseville communities rallied together in our first-ever 5K Color Walk to support the KFL.  BIG shoutout to Lilly Staib for being the brainchild behind the idea and to Robyn for pulling it all together.  Our little walk raised over $1000!The theme that Robyn and I kept coming back to was how, despite the often-times sad or even tragic mysteries that surround us all in life, we continue to trust the universe.  And Robyn has, what I can only describe as amazing “Universal Energy”.So join us, and let's see where the energy takes us!Library Magic https://music.apple.com/us/album/library-magic/1118453756?i=1118453892Ramble on Rose https://music.apple.com/us/album/ramble-on-rose-live-at-jfk-stadium-philadelphia-pa/366394085?i=366394312Gold Dust Woman https://youtu.be/4QiAmkF-QkE?si=LhnAzVQVO1_DMqWiFeelin' Alright https://music.apple.com/us/album/feelin-alright-feat-dave-mason-anders-osborne-live/1820042229?i=1820042465 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1983015048745357

Elias Makos welcomes back Caroline Codsi, Founder & Chief Equity Officer, Women in Governance, and Political analyst Karim Boulos. Fresh off cancelling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ending that franchise’s three-decade-plus run, Paramount signed a $1.5 billion dollar deal with the creators of South Park who came back with a season premiere last night and immediately took aim at Donald Trump. A Quebec man is warning Canadian boaters to steer clear of the US border after he says he was wrongly detained by the US Coast Guard while fishing on Lake Champlain. Hydro-Québec’s new CEO, Claudine Bouchard, could earn up to $988,500 this year if she receives her full performance bonus Uber is rolling out a new safety feature that pairs women drivers with women riders.

Lake Champlain is more than 16 times smaller than Lake Ontario, the smallest Great Lake. But in 1998, Congress designated Lake Champlain as the sixth Great Lake, teeing off a historical and cultural fight over which lakes can really call themselves Great. _______________________Join the Points North Fan Club today!

250 Years Ago (July 1775) Benjamin Franklin wrote to William Strahan in England: "You are a member of Parliament, and of that majority which has doomed my country to destruction. You have begun to burn our towns and murder our people. Look upon your hands! They are stained with the blood of your relations! You and I were long friends; You are now my enemy, and I am yours." The mayor of London and the Common Council petitioned King George to end military operations in the colonies. The Continental Congress requested that each colony establish minutemen units. Maj. Gen. Philip Schuyler, arriving at 10 p.m. on July 18 to take command at Lake George in the Adirondacks, found a single sentry on duty. On seeing the general, the soldier quickly tried to awaken the three other guards. Patriots in New York City raided royal stores in Turtle Bay (East 42nd Street) for supplies, which were sent to Boston and Lake Champlain. New York observed a day of fasting and devotion, as requested by the Continental Congress. 150 Years Ago (July 1875) After assaulting and robbing the elderly Levi Washburne in Carmel inside his home at 2 a.m., five "ruffians" harnessed a pair of horses to a wagon and drove to Cold Spring, where they abandoned the vehicle. Two men chasing them took the property back to Carmel. The editor of The Cold Spring Recorder noted that local law enforcement did not continue the pursuit, but that the deputy sheriff in Cold Spring and the sheriff likely knew it would be difficult to get reimbursement from the Village Board for their expenses or a reward. A horse left untied by a pineapple peddler at Moshier's fish market was found near the Pacific Hotel. The Cold Spring and Nelsonville rifle clubs held a friendly match, shooting at targets of 50, 75 and 100 yards with Hunter's Pet guns. Cold Spring won, 390-375. Frederick Osborn, 17, drowned while swimming off Mine Point. "His brother made a heroic attempt to save him, but finding that both were sinking, said goodbye and released his hold," according to The Recorder. A passenger on the Montreal Express who disembarked at Cold Spring forgot his pocketbook, with a large amount of cash. He rushed to the telegraph office. His message and the train reached Poughkeepsie at the same time, and the pocketbook was found on the seat, undisturbed. At 7 p.m. on a Tuesday, Miss Kellogg called a girl playing the violin on Main Street for change to her carriage, where they conversed in Italian. After a series of overnight burglaries and home invasions, the Village Board adopted a resolution "that the constables of the town and police officers of the village be specially requested to arrest and take into custody and detain all persons of suspicious character found roaming through the village at any unreasonable hour of the night, or found under suspicious circumstances at any time justifying their arrest and convent without delay to the police magistrate." Billy McCormick, jailed in Cold Spring for stealing a barrel of liquor, claimed he was paid $250 [about $7,300 today] for the job but would not say by whom. A tornado at West Point broke 140 gas hotel lights and moved artillery guns. After a shot was heard at 10 p.m. on a Tuesday, two Fair Street men took their guns to Sandy Landing to investigate. They found a dog belonging to Michael O'Brien, of Garden Street, had been shot dead and supposed it was causing trouble for thieves hiding their goods. Passengers aboard the Boardman and Cornwall steam yacht complained that young male swimmers waiting for the swell created by the boat would stand naked on the dock rather than jumping in the water in advance of her passing. Burglars visited B Street, where they attempted to break into the home of James Ball and took a watch from under a mattress in the house of John Butler. A child in Nelsonville was pushed into the road while he and a playmate jostled to catch a pear falling from a tree, and only skillful horse management by Mr. Mangham prevented ...

In Episode 403 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger boat out near Shelburne Point on Lake Champlain in South Burlington, Vermont, to search for an ancient creature the Abenaki people called Odziozo, who was said to have created the lake, nearby hills, and river. Champ isn't the only mysterious creature to dwell in this massive lake. The difference is there have been far more Odziozo sightings than Champ.    See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-403-odziozo-of-lake-champlain/    Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends  Check out Jeff's new underground publication Shadow Zine! https://shadowzine.com/  Listen to Ray's Local Raydio! https://localraydio.com/  

Is it just a local legend, or something real beneath the surface? For centuries, Lake Champlain has been home to stories of a mysterious creature known as Champ. Fact, fiction, or something in between?For generations, stories have surfaced of a mysterious creature gliding through the waters of Lake Champlain, described as serpentine, elusive, and impossible to forget. Nicknamed Champ, this lake monster has drawn the attention of locals, skeptics, cryptozoologists, and even sonar scans. But is there truth behind the legend? From Indigenous folklore to 20th-century tourism, we delve into the murky depths of this creature's history and the question that refuses to be answered: what's really out there?Edited by Maxwell Holechek

Scientists and researchers try to find out where the harmful microplastics in Lake Champlain are coming from. Plus, economic challenges have forced about one third of small outdoor cannabis growers in Vermont to give up their licenses, a heat wave descending on the region today has utilities asking customers to conserve energy, state tax revenues fell well short of their predicted targets last month, Montpelier's City Council will review its sanctuary city policies, and scientists and researchers who want to leave the US are being recruited in Montreal.   

Researchers on Lake Champlain are doubling down on years of research to try to figure out how tiny pieces of toxic plastic are getting into the lake, which serves some 200,000 people with drinking water.

When Scott Dukette left his hometown of Plattsburgh, New York, to attend college, he never imagined he'd return for more than the occasional family visit. But as retirement approached, Scott and his wife, Barbara, couldn't pass up the chance to buy a home directly on Lake Champlain—for just $210,000. Now, they spend their summers soaking up life on what's known as “the Adirondack Coast” or “the poor man's Vermont.” Although Plattsburgh may seem secluded, there is plenty to do including lounging on a beautiful beach, and it is not far from Montreal, Canada; Burlington, Vermont; and Lake Placid, New York. Find out more about the Dukettes' lakeside adventure on Episode 212 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. #retirethere #retiretherepodcast #retirewhere #retireabroad #retirehere #wheretoretire #retireearly #bestplacetoretire #retirement #retirementplanning #babyboomers #genxers #plattsburgh #plattsburghnewyork #plattsburghny #lakechamplain #adirondackcoast #poormansvermont #adk #adirondackmountains #adirondackpark #lakegeorge #adirondacks #upstateny #saratogasprings #lakegeorgeny #newyork #iloveny #lakeplacid #upstatenewyork #ny #lakelife #saratoga #adks #adklife #adirondacklife

Join us live on the water in central Vermont for this episode of New England Outdoor Life, where we dive deep into spring bass fishing tactics, pre-spawn strategies, and the hottest baits for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Whether you're chasing bedded fish, transitioning lake trout, or post-spawn pike, we've got you covered with real-time insight from the boat.

Join us on this special episode of the New England Outdoor Life Podcast as we welcome Liz Ellers from Lake Champlain International (LCI) to discuss the rich history and growing legacy of the 44th Annual Father's Day Fishing Derby. With over $200,000 in prizes, 13 eligible species, and weigh stations spanning Vermont and New York, this is the largest multi-species derby of its kind.We dive into:The origins of the Derby in 1982How it's grown to attract anglers from 38 statesThe role of anglers in conservation and researchTips on how to register, compete, and win bigWhy this event is about more than just fishing—it's about community, tradition, and preserving the outdoor lifestyle

Lake Memphremagog provides drinking water for around 200,000 Canadians, and recreation for countless Vermonters. It also faces serious environmental challenges. Today on Vermont Edition: the fight to restore and protect the water quality of our region's largest lakes. We'll hear from a Quebec-based group about their effort to designate Memphremagog as a lake in crisis. We'll also talk with a scientist from the Lake Champlain Basin Program, and a shoreline ecologist with Vermont's Department of Environmental Conservation. They'll tell us about the biggest threats to these water bodies, like phosphorus runoff.

Lake Champlain's wild lake trout population is sustaining itself on its own again, but scientists aren't sure what's brought the fish back. Plus, voters in Bethel and Royalton shoot down a school bond for the third time, a new federal COVID vaccine policy gets mixed reviews from a leading state infectious disease specialist, plans move ahead for a Canadian entrance to a historic library that straddles the U.S.-Canada border, and the Milton selectboard appoints a new town manager. 

For the first time in decades, scientists are not going to stock Lake Champlain with hatchery lake trout. That's because wild fish are finally spawning and sustaining their populations again.

Send us a textThis week, we're taking a different path—one that starts in Cherokee and Mohawk territory and winds its way across the Americas, ending with the Rarámuri in northern Mexico. We're not talking about monsters or murder today. We're talking about what Indigenous people would be doing right now—planting, gathering, fishing, dreaming—and the spirits, warnings, and weirdness that come with it.We talk about the Cherokee Raven Mocker, a heart-stealing death spirit that shows up when the seasons shift. The Mohawk Stone Giants, ancient cannibal beings driven underground when humans forgot their place. The Abenaki one-legged giant, Odzihozo, who dragged himself across the landscape to shape Lake Champlain. The Crow River People, spirits beneath the water who give visions—or take lives. And the Rarámuri peyote journeys, where the Blue Deer leads chosen travelers through the spirit world.The cycle of spring, the work of survival, and the stories that still walk with us.And yeah—some of it gets weird.Stick around—next time we're heading north into Canada and west to the coast, with even more tribes, spirits, and stories that still move with the seasons.Merch store- https://indigenoustales.threadless.com/Email us at info@behillnetwork.com Also check out our Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/indigenous_tales/And our TikTok -https://www.tiktok.com/@indigenous_talesAmanda Bland Dallas area Bakeryinstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cupidsweetsbakes/Cupid Sweets- https://www.facebook.com/cupidsweets

(May 2, 2025) Lake trout have been restored to Lake Champlain, bringing an end to a decades-long stocking program; the state Assembly has approved a bill that would allow physician-assisted suicide; and we get a preview of this weekend's Clayton Spring Fest, which will have a focus on climate change.

(May 2, 2025) Lake trout disappeared from Lake Champlain by 1900, the victims of pollution, overfishing, and the invasive sea lamprey. Biologists have engineered a remarkable comeback, and now the fish are thriving on their own and stocking efforts are winding down. Also: Fort Drum generates almost $2 billion for the North Country economy, making it the largest single-site employer in the region.

In the northeastern part of Vermont you'll find Lake Champlain, and in that body of water there are the Hero Islands.  So who is the...

This Day in Legal History: Rush-Bagot TreatyOn April 16, 1818, the United States Senate ratified the Rush-Bagot Treaty, a landmark agreement with Great Britain that fundamentally reshaped security along the U.S.-Canada border. Negotiated in the aftermath of the War of 1812, the treaty aimed to de-escalate military tensions between the two nations by significantly limiting naval armaments on the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Specifically, it allowed each country to maintain only a single military vessel on Lakes Ontario and Champlain and two vessels on the upper Great Lakes, each restricted in size and armament. The treaty marked a mutual commitment to demilitarization and ushered in a new era of diplomacy.The negotiations were spearheaded by Acting U.S. Secretary of State Richard Rush and British Minister to the U.S., Charles Bagot. Though initially framed as an exchange of diplomatic notes rather than a formal treaty, it was nonetheless submitted to the Senate for ratification, reflecting its constitutional significance. The Rush-Bagot Treaty laid the groundwork for what would become the world's longest undefended border. It also set a precedent for the peaceful resolution of border disputes through legal and diplomatic means rather than military force.While tensions between the two nations would persist in other areas, the Great Lakes remained largely free of armed conflict, validating the treaty's long-term effectiveness. Over time, the agreement became a model of arms control and remains in effect today, albeit with amendments reflecting evolving security concerns. Its ratification on this day helped steer U.S.-British relations toward lasting peace and cooperation, especially in North America. The treaty's enduring legacy is a testament to the power of legal frameworks in shaping geopolitical stability.The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Maine, escalating tensions between the Trump administration and the state over transgender athletes' participation in girls' and women's sports. The suit alleges that Maine is violating Title IX by permitting transgender female athletes to compete on girls' teams, citing recent examples from high school track events. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the action days after the administration attempted to cut off Maine's federal school funding and school lunch programs.This legal move follows a standoff between President Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills, who rebuffed Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from female sports. Mills told Trump, “We're going to follow the law, sir. We'll see you in court.” The administration's Title IX-based complaint argues that allowing transgender participation undermines fairness and safety, though no specific safety threats are detailed—of course.The Department of Education had already announced the suspension of $250 million in K-12 education funding for Maine, while the Department of Agriculture sought to freeze school lunch support. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the USDA's actions after Maine sued the federal government. Maine's Assistant Attorney General, Sarah Forster, pushed back, arguing that Title IX does not prohibit schools from including transgender girls in girls' sports and criticized the federal government's lack of legal precedent.US to take legal action against Maine over Trump executive order on transgender athletes | ReutersSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will block President Trump's nominations of Jay Clayton and Joe Nocella to serve as U.S. attorneys in New York's Southern and Eastern Districts, respectively. Schumer's refusal to return the customary “blue slip” signals his opposition and sets up a potential clash over the Senate tradition that gives home-state senators influence over federal prosecutor and judge appointments. He cited concerns that Trump intends to politicize the Justice Department, accusing him of seeking to weaponize law enforcement against political enemies.Clayton, a former SEC chair, was nominated to oversee the Southern District, which includes Manhattan and is often referred to as the nation's "Wall Street watchdog." Nocella, a state judge, was tapped for the Eastern District, covering Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Schumer's move could provoke Republicans to eliminate the blue slip practice for U.S. attorney nominations, as they previously did for circuit court judges.While Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley had earlier indicated he planned to preserve the blue slip process for U.S. attorney picks, growing political tensions may lead to changes. The debate echoes earlier pressure on Democrats to bypass blue slips during the Biden administration for nominees in states with GOP senators. Meanwhile, other Democratic senators, like Adam Schiff, are also using procedural holds to delay nominees they find objectionable, such as Ed Martin, who previously defended January 6 participants.Schumer to Block Jay Clayton as Top US Prosecutor in ManhattanPresident Donald Trump's threat to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status has sparked broader concerns about the politicization of the IRS and a potential crackdown on nonprofits. His warning followed Harvard's refusal to meet administration demands tied to federal funding, prompting a freeze of over $2.2 billion in grants. Other universities like Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton also saw funding halted, amid GOP claims that schools are failing to curb antisemitism after protests over the Israel-Hamas war.Critics see Trump's move as an attempt to use federal tax authority to punish political opponents. Legal scholars warn that using the IRS in this way echoes past abuses, such as those during Nixon's presidency. Some nonprofits have already started removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language from websites to avoid scrutiny, with lawyers reporting a spike in “DEI audits.” Though the IRS hasn't yet changed its enforcement patterns, reduced staffing could make it more susceptible to politicized influence.A recent executive order from Trump targeting “illegal DEI” efforts has heightened fear among nonprofits that their programs, especially those aimed at underrepresented communities, could be labeled discriminatory. Meanwhile, conservative activist Edward Blum has asked the IRS to investigate several foundations for offering race-specific grants, hoping to set a precedent against such practices. Legal experts say programs must be evaluated based on whether they exclude other races, which would likely violate federal law.Trump's Harvard Threat Raises Specter of IRS Nonprofit CrackdownIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I argue that proposals to exempt college athletes' name, image, and likeness (NIL) income from state taxes undermine one of tax policy's core principles: horizontal equity. That principle holds that taxpayers with similar incomes should be taxed similarly—something these NIL exemptions blatantly violate. While some student-athletes now earn six or seven figures, their peers working long hours in campus jobs continue to pay tax on modest earnings. Exempting high-income athletes while taxing low-wage student workers creates a two-tiered system that rewards fame and marketability, not need or effort.These exemptions aren't rooted in sound tax design—they're political moves, often motivated by the desire to curry favor with voters who are fans of college sports. But when states exempt wealthy student-athletes, they're making a value judgment: that celebrity deserves more support than everyday work. Even in states where lower-income students may owe no tax, the policy distinction is stark—exempting income to prevent poverty is not the same as exempting it to boost a football program.Rather than distorting the tax code to chase athletic prestige, I propose a fairer alternative: a progressive income exemption available to all full-time students, tied to the cost of their tuition. If a student pays $12,000 in tuition, they could exempt that amount from tax—regardless of whether their income comes from NIL deals, a job in the library, or a work-study program. This model keeps relief targeted to those bearing educational costs while avoiding regressive giveaways to already well-compensated students. The tax code should reflect fairness and support for all students—not just the most marketable ones.Student NIL Tax Breaks Would Put Splashy Recruits Above Fairness This is a public episode.

Champ the Lake Champlain MonsterThis week we dive into the legend of Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster, exploring over 300 reported sightings dating back to 1609 when Samuel de Champlain claimed to witness a 20-foot serpent-like creature.We chronicle key evidence including Sandra Mansi's famous 1977 photograph, sonar readings capturing unusual shapes, and alleged echolocation recordings from cryptozoologist Katy Elizabeth.Throughout the episode, we discuss theories about whether Champ could be a prehistoric survivor like a plesiosaur or tanystropheus, citing Lake Champlain's substantial depth of 400 feet as a potential habitat. We also look at alternative explanations for the Lake Champlain cryptid, including large sturgeon (which can reach 27 feet), groups of otters swimming in formation creating a serpentine illusion, or partially submerged logs moved by underwater currents called seiches.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Erik's goal with these interviews is to shine light into that obscure terrain between the struggle and the success. It's dark there with plenty of barriers; metaphorically speaking certainly, but also many times literally….  as is the case with Sarah; she stared into the darkness of  English Channel waters crossing it back and forth twice. Oh yeah, she was swimming. And she was battling breast cancer too.Sarah's journey is both surreal and inspiring. Her feats of sheer endurance go beyond the English Channel, across the world. 104 miles across on Lake Champlain, 80 miles across Lake Powell.. a short 22 miles across the Loch Ness (no monster sightings) and many, many more.She's on a mission to complete the Ocean's Seven marathon swims.Erik digs into it all, from her motivations, breathtaking encounters with marine life and how she's thriving post-breast cancer.Sarah's website: https://sarahthomasswims.com/Sarah on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/sarahswims04
