Podcasts about Lake George

People like to come to Lake George to go fishing, boating, and take up other water activities... like screaming! If you stand in the right spot, you can hear yourself as if the sound wave passed through a giant megaphone. Scientists still can't explain this acoustic phenomenon or figure out the reason for this behavior of the sound waves. It could be because of a small curved wall surrounding the platform. There's also an old legend according to which a magical creature appeared at this spot and shouted towards the water, and its wisdom has echoed throughout the lake ever since.

For nearly two and a half centuries, they were forgotten beneath the soil near Lake George, New York. No marked graves stood above them. No descendants visited to leave flowers. No stone carried their names. The men who fought for the American cause during the Revolutionary War disappeared from history as the years passed and the nation they helped create grew around them. Now, 250 years later, America has finally brought them home...

A la gente le gusta ir a Lake George para pescar, pasear en bote y realizar otras actividades acuáticas... ¡como gritar! Si te paras en el lugar correcto, puede escucharse como si la onda de sonido pasara por un megáfono gigante. Los científicos aún no pueden explicar este fenómeno acústico ni descubrir la razón de este comportamiento de las ondas sonoras. Podría deberse a un pequeño muro curvo que rodea la plataforma. También hay una vieja leyenda según la cual una criatura mágica apareció en este lugar y gritó hacia el agua, y su sabiduría resuena en todo el lago desde entonces. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's edition of The Update Journal… we begin with a level of anger that even the producers are a little nervous about. The Mets have lost 11 straight games, and I'd like to personally apologize to my blood pressure, my television, and Gary, Keith, and Ron for what they're about to endure. This isn't just a losing streak—it's an emotional hostage situation.Meanwhile, in a rare moment of peace and stability in New York media, Mr. G has returned to our screens… and suddenly, balance has been restored to the universe. The sun shines a little brighter, the forecasts feel trustworthy again, and for a brief moment, we all remember what happiness looks like at 10pm.And because it's 4/20, we wrap things up with a “legal-ish” celebration—because nothing says responsible broadcasting like carefully choosing your words while the producers hover over the dump button. It's festive, it's questionable, and it's probably the most relaxed we'll be all episode… which, given the Mets, is not saying much.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, one person was killed and three others including a young teen wounded in a wild New Jersey shootout that left victims sprawled in the street near a 13-year-old girl's weekend birthday party.Multiple people were injured when a bus full of students and chaperones from multiple Bronx high schools crashed near Lake George, according to authorities and reports. And in Louisiana, a father fatally shot eight children, including seven of his own, in an attack on his family that stretched across two houses in a Shreveport neighborhood left shaken by one of the nation's deadliest mass shootings in recent years, police said.

In this episode, we dive into the term “picturesque” and how it ties in with Nathaniel Willis and his views of Lake George. We ask each other philosophical questions as to what really is art when it comes to “natural beauty”. In this episode, our group discusses the way we view art and what can potentially “count” as art. Together, let's dive into this powerful term and what it can mean for you and the way you view your world.

The battlefields were not the only places that threatened death during World War I. As conflict raged on and supply lines tightened, the allied powers of France, Britain, and Italy faced a fundamental problem: keeping their soldier and civilian populations safe from starvation. Wheat at War: Allied Economic Cooperation in the Great War (Oxford UP, 2025) describes how, faced with this immense challenge, the Allies devised a multilateral institution--the Wheat Executive--to do what no state could do alone. Rosella Cappella Zielinski and Paul Poast examine the difficult considerations made by the allied powers when ceding authority to an international body that would make decisions for them. Beyond successfully managing wheat shipping and distribution, they argue, the Wheat Executive proved to have significant influence in the evolving landscape of interstate cooperation. As a case study, the Wheat Executive improves our understanding of international institutional design, the importance of commodities during wartime, economic coordination amongst wartime coalition members, and the legacies of international cooperation during the First World War. As one of the first great experiments in supranationalism, the Allies' management of wheat while at war provides lessons about the emergence of international organizations and their contours. Jobie Turner is a military historian who studies logistics in warfare.  His most recent work is Feeding Victory:  Innovative Logistics from Lake George to Khe Sanh, 1755-1968 which discuss the impact of technology on transportation across three centuries of warfare.  Jobie is a retired Colonel in the USAF and a pilot for United Airlines email: here  Learn more about your ad choices.

THE YOU LAKE GEORGE....2025 Cast Music

The moment a guest opens your door, you're no longer just a real estate investor, you're running a hospitality business.   In this episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Katie to talk about something a lot of hosts say they care about, but don't always know how to execute: true hospitality. Katie spent years in global PR and communications for brands like W Hotels, Ritz-Carlton, Le Méridien, and more, and now owns and operates three short-term rentals while co-hosting a fourth. She's lived on both sides of the industry, and she has a very grounded perspective on what it really means to move from "real estate investor" to "host." We talk about the moment you open your doors and how, from that point on, you are running a hospitality business, not just holding an asset. Katie shares a hotel study that found the first ten minutes of a guest's arrival sets the tone for their entire stay, and we unpack what that looks like inside an STR: clear directions, lights that actually come on, intentional amenities, and those small, thoughtful touches that make guests feel seen instead of nickel-and-dimed. We also get into bachelorette groups, kids and pets, and why welcoming every member of the family changes how people experience your space and how they talk about it later. Katie walks us through her own portfolio in Lake George, Saratoga Springs, and the Finger Lakes, and how staying in a destination as a guest shaped what she looked for as an owner. We talk about design gaps, experience gaps, and why she's now exploring boutique motels and hotels with the same heart for hospitality she brings to her STRs. If you've ever felt the tension between automation, profit, and genuinely caring for the people in your homes, this conversation will feel like a reset and a reminder of why this work matters.

In this episode, our group dives into the questions of whether Lake George's beauty belongs to the landscape itself or to the way viewers frame it in their minds. We connect Nathaniel Parker Willis' vivid 19th century description of the lake to the idea of the picturesque and how artists and writers "compose" nature. Drawing on landscape art, aesthetic theory, and our own reactions, we debate whether beauty is discovered in the environment or created through imagination. Join us as we unpack how framing, culture, and perspective shape what we see as beautiful in both nature and art. Music Clear Horizon by LR Beats

This episode, we talked about Nathanial Willis and his experience with Lake George. We went into depth speaking about beauty and how people interpret it. We dived into subjects such as objective vs. subjective and much more. We talked about how cultural differences and experiences impact our perception of beauty. We learned tons of new insight and how beauty is more complex than what we believed it to be.

Winter at The Sagamore Resort is anything but quiet. Each January, the lakeside terrace transforms into a frozen spectacle where 300-pound blocks of ice, chainsaws, blowtorches, and a lot of muscle come together as one of the Adirondacks' most anticipated winter traditions: the Glacier Ice Bar.In this episode of ADK Talks, we're joined by Tom Guay, General Manager of The Sagamore, whose career at the resort spans more than two decades and nearly every corner of hotel operations.

A woman walks away from toxic-tort law in Oakland, loads four Nigerian dwarf goats into a Honda Element, and drives 3,000 miles with her partner to a scruffy little farm in Thurman, NY. Two decades later, that leap of faith has become Nettle Meadow: a sanctuary for hundreds of animals and the home of Kunik, one of the most celebrated cheeses in America. In this episode, we sit down with Sheila Flanagan, CEO and co-founder of Nettle Meadow, to trace the journey from collapsing barns and ice storms to national cheese awards and the warm glow of the Hitching Post Tavern in Lake Luzerne. Sheila shares how she and her partner, Lorraine, learned cheesemaking by trial, error, and sheer stubbornness—and why the terroir of the Southern Adirondacks is baked into every wheel they produce.You'll hear about the goats who rode cross-country, the historic butter cellar that turned into an aging cave, the community that carried them through lean winters, and the tough choices they're facing now as they look for the right partner to help Nettle Meadow's next chapter unfold. If you've ever daydreamed about ditching a soul-crushing job for something wilder and more meaningful, this one's for you.What you'll hear in this episodeHow a burned-out toxic-tort lawyer in Oakland fell in love with a tiny goat farm listing and convinced her partner to move to Thurman, NY.The origin story of Kunik—why Sheila calls it “a buttery brie with a goat kick at the end,” and how Nigerian dwarf goats tricked them into thinking they were instant cheese geniuses.Growing from 36 goats to close to a thousand animals: hybrid “all-American” goats, Jersey cows, sheep, and a whole lot of retired and differently abled residents living their best lives.Why Adirondack terroir matters: goats munching nettles and raspberry leaf, loamy soil, and a 19th-century butter cellar that shaped the flavor of their cheeses.The brutal first winters—ice storms, deep snow, generators, and the moment Sheila almost put the farm back up for sale.How and why Nettle Meadow took on the historic Hitching Post Tavern near Lake George, and turned a dude-ranch roadhouse into an Adirondack cheese tavern and production hub.Tips for pairing Nettle Meadow cheeses with mac and cheese, salads, flatbreads, and more—plus how the menu gently converts “goat cheese skeptics.”Where to find Nettle Meadow cheeses across the country, from NYC specialty shops to regional grocers and national chains.Sheila's honest look at growth, finances, and why they're now seeking an investor to help sustain the mission—and possibly relocate the sanctuary closer to Lake Luzerne.Her advice for anyone dreaming of a big life change: what she'd do differently, and why she still says “go for it.”Resources:Learn more at www.nettlemeadow.comNettle Meadow Farm & Artisan CheeseHitching Post TavernToad Hill Maple FarmFriends Lake InnOscar's SmokehouseMartins LumberProduced by NOVA

A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode Worth Hearing. This is more than a headline. It is a true story of survival, loss, depression, and an unexpected moment of human connection that changed everything. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Dean Simpson is a retired police officer from the New York City Police Department. Years before this Christmas Eve, he was shot in the line of duty during a violent, life-and-death encounter. He survived the attack, but the shooting left him permanently disabled. What followed was a slow, painful unraveling that many first responders know too well. The inpsiring episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform Purpose disappeared. Pain remained. Alcohol filled the silence. By December of 2001, Dean's life had narrowed to drinking, isolation, and attending one police funeral after another. Just three months earlier, the Twin Towers had fallen. While his fellow officers ran toward the chaos on September 11, Dean woke up late, hungover, and drowning in guilt. He still put on his uniform and reported to Ground Zero, working at “The Pile” for weeks, until he realized he wasn't helping anymore. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode Worth Hearing. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Then came Christmas Eve. That morning, Dean put his father's revolver in one pocket and his father's worn Bible in the other. He boarded a train at Penn Station with a one-way ticket upstate. He had already decided that once he reached his destination, his life would end. He chose a secluded place so no one would have to clean up the mess, a thought that haunted him even then. While the train rolled north through snow-covered landscapes, a stranger sat down next to him. Her name was Erin. She was a chatty grandmother with a red scarf and a warm smile, exactly the kind of person Dean did not want to talk to. She spoke about the beauty of the city, the holidays, life, and love. Dean sat in silence, angry at her optimism, angry at everything. When she finally asked what he loved about New York City, his response was cold and sharp. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “I love being left alone.” Instead of snapping back or moving seats, Erin stayed. When Dean apologized, she accepted. Slowly, gently, she drew him into conversation. She shared her own story, her late husband, her children, her grandchildren. And for the first time in a long while, Dean talked about his life. About being shot. About losing his father. About feeling useless and invisible. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve, A Special Episode When the train reached Albany, Erin handed him a small pink note. “I don't know where you're headed,” she told him, “but when you get there, read this.” They hugged, and she was gone. Dean continued on to Black Mountain, climbing toward Lake George with ice-capped water below. At the summit, he opened his father's Bible. A scrap of paper fell out, marking a verse: Corinthians 10:13. To a cop, that number meant something else entirely, police code for officer needs assistance. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Then he read Erin's note: “Dean, life is a gift meant to be shared. Don't ever give up hope. Merry Christmas. Erin.” In that moment, something lifted. The weight inside him eased. Dean emptied the revolver and threw it into the abyss. Then he turned around and walked back down the mountain. A Stranger Saved a Retired NYPD Officer's Life on Christmas Eve. That was the day a stranger saved his life. In this special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Dean Simpson tells his story openly, not for attention, but to reach others who may be standing on the same edge.

The discussion surrounding the French pittoresque and the Italian pittoresco reveals the extent to which each culture influenced the perception of “the picturesque” in art and aesthetics. In its basic form, pittoresco in Italian indicated “worthy of being painted.” That is to say; it highlighted the natural visual interest, the vivid detail, and the scenes which were of direct appeal to the artist's eye. On the other hand, the French version, pittoresque, advanced the term into a more theoretical category which was linked not only to taste but also to composition and the principles of aesthetic judgment. Hence, the French version was more philosophical and systematically whereas the Italian term was still connected to the practice of art and observation. This, in turn, led to a historical debate whether the picturesque was to be seen as a property of the real landscapes (Italian) or as a frame for evaluating beauty (French).

In this episode of the Exploring Art Podcast, our group discusses who Nathaniel Willis was, some of his history, and what might have inspired him. We identify some of Lake George's natural features. Using Nathaniel Willis' description and images of the lake, we broke down what beauty really is and what makes something “beautiful”.

In this episode, we dive deep into the debate behind the meaning of picturesque and uncover the question of where beauty truly lies. Our group explores the writings of N. P. Willis, Lake George, and 18th–19th century landscape works as we debate whether natural beauty is inherent in the land or constructed by the viewer's imagination. Join us to listen to historical explanations, reviews of artwork, and nuanced debate.

Nathaniel​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Parker Willis's The Picturesque: Lake George is a 19th-century American travelogue that blends the elements of nature, the artist's reflection, and a subtle romantic drama to lure the audience into one of the most talked-about landscapes of the century. Willis sees the Lake George not only as a lovely spot but as the "picturesque" living example - a measure between the still somewhat wild nature and a nature-like art piece. His writing is all about how the light plays on the water, the wild rocky shore, and the peaceful little valleys, and it's all showing how the whole thing looks like a very lucky and yet very carefully planned event at the same time. We are looking at how Willis made the Lake George a sight for the eyes through his words and why his view changed the way people in America started to see the importance of nature as a source of delight in this ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌episode.

In today's podcast, we travel back in time to explore the concept of the picturesque and how its meaning has evolved across generations. We look at how different viewers- artists, writers, and tourists have perceived certain landscapes and artworks as “picture-worthy.” Lake George serves as our central case study, a place celebrated for its natural beauty but interpreted differently depending on who viewed it and how they framed the scene. By examining these shifting perspectives, we uncover why the picturesque is not just about what we see in nature, but also how we imagine and interpret it.

In this episode we will dive into the intriguing concept of the picturesque through a case study about Lake George in 1840. The American writer Nathaniel Willis described the landscape as a natural masterpiece, prompting us to ask: is its beauty and serenity that the land inherent in the land itself or shaped by our perception? We explore the orgins of the term ''picturesque'' contrasting French and Italian interpretations that focus on the resemblance versus imagination. Join us as we examine how different cultures and artistic movements have defined natural beauty. This goes on to question the idea of beauty in nature and what truly makes it beauty. This discussion offers an insight into how we experience and interpret the art of this world

In this episode, we explore the idea of the picturesque through the story of Lake George and the artists and writers who were moved by its dramatic landscape. Jasheena and Daniella examine whether beauty is something that exists naturally in the world or something that viewers create through imagination and framing. Our conversation looks closely at how perception, culture, and artistic traditions influence the way people judge a landscape as beautiful. By discussing the difference between seeing nature as a picture and seeing it through the mind of a painter, we invite listeners to question how much of beauty comes from the eye and how much comes from the mind. Join us as we unpack this timeless debate and encourage a deeper way of looking at the world.

Depending on where you live, if you've ever driven a snowy mountain road or parked your car after a winter storm, you've probably seen that familiar crust of salt left behind. It's easy to think of road salt as just another part of winter, and a simple fix for icy conditions. But that same salt, once it washes off our roads, has a far-reaching impact on the water we drink and the lakes or streams that we love.Across the Northeast and beyond, road salt has become a threat to freshwater ecosystems. It seeps into wells and disrupts aquatic life. In New York State, scientists are warning that the overuse of salt could be creating “thousands of mini-Flints,” a public health crisis unfolding one winter at a time.Today, we're joined by Dr. Brendan Wiltse, Executive Director of the Lake George Association, the nation's first lake conservation organization, founded in 1885. The LGA has been leading efforts to protect Lake George, known as the “Queen of American Lakes,” through science and community collaboration. Dr. Wiltse's decades of research in aquatic ecology and his leadership at the LGA shed light on how salt pollution, climate change, and infrastructure are interconnected, and what we can all do to protect our clean water.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------Lake George Association Website: https://lakegeorgeassociation.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lakegeorgeassociation/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LakeGeorgeAssociationYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/LakeGeorgeAssoc
