This is an edited version of an interview that first appeared in episode 79 in September 2020. Ian Duff worked as a keeper at 13 Scottish lighthouses between 1976 and 1992. He spent about five years at Skerryvore, a remote station off the west coast of Scotland. He also spent about five years at Duncansby Head Light Station at the most northeasterly point of the British mainland. Ian Duff at St. Abbs Head Lighthouse in Scotland. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. Ian remained involved with lighthouses after his retirement as a keeper. He became the president of the Association of Lighthouse Keepers, or the ALK, an organization that provides a forum for everyone interested in lighthouses, lightships, and maritime aids to navigation. When Ian passed away last year, a large collection of his photographic slides were donated to the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, along with lighthouse artifacts.

This episode blends thoughtful insights, humor, and a touch of nostalgia. The hosts explore how love languages shape relationships, using sandwiches as a playful metaphor for connection and appreciation. A deep dive into vanity sizing reveals how inconsistent clothing measurements fuel frustration, waste, and unrealistic beauty standards. Stories about misfit jeans and brand manipulation highlight how sizing tricks have become a marketing weapon. The discussion then shifts to spiritual encouragement, offering scripture-based affirmations to counter self-doubt and anxiety. Lighthearted moments include admiration for adorable fruit bats, affectionately dubbed “sky puppies”, and plans for a spirited Uno showdown. From reflections on American history to brainstorming cow-print outfits, the show delivers a mix of levity, inspiration, and community, all tied together by a shared determination to live with purpose and joy.
With foreign trade blossoming from Newport, Rhode Island, local merchants petitioned for a lighthouse at Beavertail Point at the southern tip of Conanicut Island in the town of Jamestown, and a 69-foot-tall wooden tower was first lighted in 1749. It was the third light station in the American colonies. The 45-foot square granite lighthouse that stands today was built in 1856. The lighthouse is located within Beavertail State Park, and the Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association (BLMA) preserves and manages the light station. The museum occupies two former keepers' houses and two other buildings.

She's also a councilwoman on the Jamestown Town Council and owner of the Jamestown Early Learning Center. David Smith is a board member of the BLMA, and he has been involved with the development of many of the exhibits in the museum at Beavertail. Varoujan Karentz is on the board of the Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association and is the author of three books and numerous articles. His book Beavertail Light Station is the most comprehensive history available on this historic location.

Grosse Point Light Station. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. Grosse Point Lighthouse, located at the southern end of Lake Michigan in Evanston, Illinois, was established in 1873 as the primary lighthouse marking the approach to Chicago. Since 1983, for an amazing 42 years, Don Terras has been chief administrator of the Lighthouse Park District, a unit of local government in Evanston. He is also the live-in manager of the Grosse Point Light Station museum, essentially serving as the modern-day keeper. Don Terras This is an edited version of a conversation with Don Terras that was recorded in the museum in the former keeper's house at Grosse Point Light Station in November 2019. Also taking part in the conversation is Jeff Gales, executive director of the U.S. Lighthouse Society.

This is part two of a two part interview with Lorna Pierce and Gloria Coder, the daughters of Seamond Ponsart Roberts (1940-2023). Seamond was the daughter of the longtime Massachusetts lighthouse keeper Octave Ponsart, and she was the author of the book Everyday Heroes, The True Story of a Lighthouse Family. Seamond's childhood was spent at Cuttyhunk Light and West Chop Light in Massachusetts. Seamond Ponsart Roberts in 2001, tossing a wreath into the waves at Cuttyhunk Island in memory of her parents. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. Here is an excerpt from Seamond's obituary: "The bad days were sure bad enough, but since there were so many good days (like 99.9 percent of the time) what the heck. She had a good life for sure — and I should know as I, Seamond Roberts, wrote all this myself. Goodbye to all my family and friends. Thank you for listening to me and for being so dear to me. I hope to see each of you in our next life's further adventures." Right: Seamond, Gloria, and Lorna, circa 1960s.

Do subscribe to show Minimalist Techie over Apple Or Spotify Or YouTube podcast (Click on Hyperlinks for Apple Or on Spotify Or on YouTube) or hear it over email you received through my subscription or on my website.This weekly newsletter is mostly about the article, books, videos etc. I read or watch or my views on different topics which revolves around my head during the week. The Summer Squeeze & Heatwave Havoc"It's mid-June, and if you're like me, you've got a lot on your plate."* School graduation season – the bittersweet farewells, the endless ceremonies, the proud but exhausting moments.* Summer camp registration – navigating waitlists, packing lists, and figuring out how many swimsuits a child actually needs.* Vacation planning – the excitement mixed with the dizzying logistics of flights, accommodations, and itineraries.* Hitting those last work deadlines – the sprint to the finish line before a hopeful, but often elusive, summer slowdown.Top of all of that, Mother Nature decided to turn up the dial. Way, way up."* "In the last week, we've been smack dab in the middle of a serious heatwave. Temperatures hitting 100 degrees Fahrenheit, sometimes even higher, across swaths of the U.S., especially here on the East Coast where records are being shattered. It's not just hot; it's oppressive."* Physical impact: "You step outside, and it feels like breathing soup. That thick, hot, humid air just clings to you. And for me, personally, I've found myself dealing with a sore throat and nasal congestion, which just adds insult to injury when you're already feeling drained by the heat."* "It's not just the external temperature, is it? It's the feeling of being overwhelmed when your body is literally fighting to stay cool."As if navigating our personal summer chaos and battling the relentless sun wasn't enough, we're all acutely aware of the larger world spinning around us, often feeling like it's teetering on the edge. So, here are some practical tips to manage the heat and its effects:Heat-specific self-care, a bit more practical* Hydration, Hydration, Hydration: This sounds obvious, but it's your number one defense. And I'm talking about more than just water! Think electrolyte drinks, coconut water, and watery fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges. These help replenish vital minerals you lose through sweat. Try to avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, as they can actually dehydrate you further. A simple tip: Keep a reusable water bottle with you at all times, and maybe set an alarm on your phone every hour or so to remind you to take a big gulp.* Strategic Cooling Strategies:* Stay indoors during peak heat: This is crucial. The hottest part of the day is usually between 11 AM and 4 PM. If you can, avoid being outside entirely during these hours.* Cool showers or baths: These are amazing for instantly bringing down your core temperature. Even just dipping your feet in a basin of cool water can provide surprising relief.* Light, loose clothing: Opt for natural fabrics like cotton, and stick to light colors. These choices make a huge difference in how your body dissipates heat.* Cool compresses: A damp cloth or ice pack on your neck, wrists, or inner elbows can offer surprisingly fast relief by cooling the blood flowing close to the surface.* Utilize fans and AC: If you have air conditioning, use it! If you don't, fans can help, especially if you place a bowl of ice in front of them to create a makeshift cool breeze. Also, don't be shy about seeking out public cooling centers, libraries, or even a local shopping mall for a few hours of free, glorious air-conditioned relief.* Food choices: Opt for lighter, cooler meals. Think crisp salads, refreshing smoothies, and plenty of fresh fruit. Avoid heavy, hot meals that make your body work harder to digest and generate more internal heat.* Mind-Body Connection:* Deep Breathing Exercises: When we're stressed or overheated, our breathing tends to become shallow and rapid. Taking a few slow, deep breaths – inhaling deeply into your belly, holding for a few seconds, and then exhaling slowly – signals to your nervous system that you're safe. It can calm you almost instantly. Let's try one quickly: Inhale slowly for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and then slowly exhale for a count of six. (Pause) Feel that subtle shift? It's powerful.* Gentle Movement (even in the heat): While your Pilates or gym class is excellent, for others, even a gentle stretch session indoors, some slow, restorative yoga poses, or even just dancing to a favorite song in your living room can release tension and get your blood flowing without overheating you.* Mindfulness Moments: Beyond walks, try mindful eating – truly savoring each bite of your food. Or mindful listening – just focusing on one sound, like the hum of your AC or the distant chirping of birds. Even a quick body scan meditation, where you focus on sensations in each part of your body without judgment, can be incredibly grounding. There are tons of free apps like Calm, Headspace, or Insight Timer that offer guided meditations for all levels.* Healthy Escapism: You're already a pro with books! Keep a stack of novels, thrilling mysteries, or uplifting non-fiction that has absolutely nothing to do with work or global crises. Dive in. When it comes to movies or shows, choose comfort. Lighthearted comedies, fascinating nature documentaries, or visually stunning films that transport you to another world. Now is not the time for intense dramas or news-heavy content if you're trying to de-stress. Think about what brings you genuine joy and calm.* The Power of "No": Finally, and this is a big one: sometimes, true self-care is simply saying "no" to one more thing on your plate. Say "no" to an extra commitment that stretches you too thin. Say "no" to feeling guilty for taking a much-needed break. Say "no" to the pressure to be "on" and productive all the time. Your well-being needs that space.This summer chaos, the relentless heat, the weight of the world… it's all very real. It's valid to feel overwhelmed, to feel stretched. But so is our incredible capacity to navigate it with grace, resilience, and intentional self-care. It's not about eliminating every single stressor, because that's often impossible. Instead, it's about finding those small anchors, those moments of quiet, those intentional acts of self-kindness that help you refuel, re-center, and remind yourself that you've got this.You're doing great, even when it feels like you're not. Give yourself permission to feel overwhelmed, and then give yourself permission to step back, re-center, and implement even just one small self-care strategy today.What's your go-to grounding practice when life gets wild? How are you coping with this extreme heat? I'd absolutely love to hear from you. Let's share our strategies and support each other through this wild summer. That is all for this week.

If you haven't heard of my next guest, like me, you are in for a wonderful treat, like me!Toni Hunlo came into my life just a short few weeks ago, when my team suggested I have him on. Who is him, I asked?? Well, once I started listening and reading about Toni, I certainly found out. Toni Hunlo is like no other Athens singer I've heard. You can't say a specific genre, but you can say everything that comes out of his mouth when he sings, performs in spoken word and the lyrics that are some the most thoughtful, genuine, and authentic lovely and sophisticated. In my opinion of course.I just met him, but I fell in love with him at first listen with his own band or with Lighthearted. Athens has already begun to do the same. I beg you to go listen to him at a venue that will allow you to capture and take in the essence of Toni Hunlo.

Young Seamond in front of the keeper's house at Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts. The guests in this episode are Gloria Coder and Lorna Pierce. Gloria and Lorna are the daughters of the late Seamond Ponsart Roberts (1940-2023). Seamond was the daughter of a longtime lighthouse keeper in Massachusetts, and she was the author of the book Everyday Heroes: The True Story of a Lighthouse Family. Seamond's father, Octave Ponsart, began his lighthouse keeping career at Great Point on Nantucket. He spent five years as the keeper at Dumpling Rock in southeastern Massachusetts, and he and his family barely survived the hurricane of 1938. He became the keeper of Cuttyhunk Light off Cape Cod in 1940. He then spent 11 years as keeper at West Chop Light on Martha's Vineyard. Seamond spent just a few years as a child at Cuttyhunk, but she always considered it home because of her mother's family's roots there. This is part one of a two part interview.

A light station was established on Maine's 220-acre Great Duck Island in 1890, with a 42-foot-tall brick tower and three keepers' dwellings. Only one of the three houses remain standing today. The light was automated in 1986 and it remains an active aid to navigation. In 1998 Great Duck Island Light Station, along with Mount Desert Rock Light Station, became the property of Bar Harbor's College of the Atlantic. Students and staff from the college now live in the former keeper's dwelling much of the year. The ongoing research projects largely focus on the island's bird populations.

Maine's wave-swept Whaleback Lighthouse. (Photo by Dominic Trapani) In January 2024, two powerful storms -- just three days apart -- struck northern New England, coinciding with the highest tide ever recorded in Portland, Maine, at 14.75 feet. The damage was severe up and down the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire, and about a third of Maine's 66 historic lighthouse sites suffered significant damage. Pemaquid Point Light Station's bell tower suffered heavy damage during the January 10, 2024 storm.(Photo by Bob Trapani, Jr.) The nonprofit American Lighthouse Foundation has formed a Storm and Mitigation Response Team that is dedicated to the development of a series of best practices that can help lighthouses become more resilient in the face of future storms. Today's conversation is with three members of the team. Bob Trapani Jr. is the executive director of the American Lighthouse Foundation. Ford Reiche is the president of the Presumscot Foundation, which owns Halfway Rock Lighthouse in Maine's Casco Bay.

Ian has a new book out called: The Fix, looking at the light hearted transformation that the 12-steps have. Ian shares how he unconsciously audited the 12-steps in 1987. He shares how his spiritual misadventures were an invitation from God for deeper intimacy. The suggestion that a setback is a better name than relapse. Ian also shares his thoughts on why the church is not like the rooms of recovery.

Richard Klein A lighthouse was proposed in 1896 to mark Peck (or Pecks) Ledge, at the east end of the Norwalk Islands in Connecticut. It began operation in 1906 and was the last staffed lighthouse to be built at a waveswept site on Long Island Sound. Its life as a staffed light was relatively short, only 27 years. It's a typical offshore light of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century period, with a cylindrical cast-iron foundation topped by a "sparkplug" type cast-iron lighthouse. Peck Ledge Lighthouse, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. Richard Klein cooking at Peck Ledge Lighthouse The lighthouse was sold via online auction in September 2015, and the owner is now Norwalk Art Space. Today's conversation is with artist, writer, and curator Richard Klein. Richard has utilized found objects in his sculptural work since the late 1990s.

Stratford Point Light Station in 2015, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont David Wright Stratford, Connecticut, was an active port in coastal trade, shipbuilding and oystering in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. To mark the entrance to the harbor, the first Stratford Point Lighthouse was built on the west side of the dangerous mouth of the Housatonic River in 1822. The present tower, 35 feet tall, was built along with a new keeper's house in 1881. Theodore of "Theed" Judson was keeper from 1880 to 1921. In his more than 40 years at Stratford Point, Judson frequently made the local newspapers with sightings of sea monsters and mermaids. The light station is still owned by the Coast Guard, but the town of Stratford holds occasional open houses for the public. Our guest in this episode, David Wright, is the Stratford town historian. He gives walking tours and writes articles about local history. When the lighthouse is open, David takes on the identity of Keeper Theodore Judson while his wife portrays the keeper's wife, Kate.
John Jamingo, Deuce, and Joe reunite for a wide-ranging, offbeat conversation brimming with personal stories, hot takes, and unscripted laughs.

Prudence Island Lighthouse, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont Prudence Island, about seven miles long, is the third largest island in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. It was determined around 1850 that a lighthouse was needed to guide vessels passing between Sandy Point, at the island's easternmost extremity, and Aquidneck Island, about a mile to the east. Instead of building a new lighthouse, a disused one at Goat Island in Newport was moved to Prudence Island. Originally built at Goat Island in 1842, the lighthouse still stands at Sandy Point and is the oldest free-standing lighthouse in the state. The granite stairs inside Prudence Island Lighthouse The Prudence Conservancy, a nonprofit organization, was involved with the upkeep of the lighthouse and its grounds since the late 1980s. The Coast Guard granted a license to the group in 2001, and in 2024, the property was conveyed to the Prudence Conservancy under the guidelines of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. Interviewed in this episode are Prudence Island Historian Joe Bains, and Ray Jenness, who is the chairman of the Prudence Conservancy. The interview was recorded at the Prudence Island Historical Museum. The wife and son of Keeper George Gustavus, along with three other people, lost their lives when the keeper's house at Prudence Island was destroyed in the Hurricane of 1938.

Next is an abridged version of a conversation with John Potvin first heard in November 2019. John is the manager for the Chesapeake Chapter of USLHS of Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse in Chesapeake Bay, the only surviving cottage-style screwpile lighthouse in the country still in its original location. Following that is a chat with Natasha Nash Dixon. Natasha's new children's book, “Drew's Grand Advenure,” is based on a true tale about the beloved mascot of Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
This month's Deep Dive series is all about how much fun we are—or aren't—having while raising our kids. Listen to the whole playlist on Spotify. We all fall into the trap of thinking that every day with our kids has to contain a “snow globe moment,” a social media-worthy image of perfect joy for our entire family. And even if part of us knows that's not realistic, another part of us thinks that it's all supposed to be fun. That there must be something wrong with us if we don't love every single moment of our chaotic lives with little ones. But once we kick that shame to the curb, there really are ways to make our lives as parents more fun and lighthearted. Even on a regular Tuesday. In this episode, we discuss: How we can be lighthearted, even when things aren't fun How we can have fun even when things aren't easy How we can have fun even when our kids definitely aren't Our basic takeaway: parenting definitely gets a little more fun as our kids get a little bit easier… and by “easier,” we mean “not throwing themselves into mortal danger every ninety seconds because they don't know any better.” The first step to having more fun may simply be to wish that it were so. As motivational speaker Danielle LaPorte explains: “Knowing how you want to feel is the most potent form of clarity you can have.” We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

The strait between Bristol and Portsmouth, Rhode Island, was busy in the early 1800s, with all manner of vessels passing between Narragansett Bay to the west and Mount Hope Bay to the east. A lighthouse was built on the Bristol side in 1855, with a small brick dwelling and a lighthouse tower attached to its southern end. The lighthouse's days as an aid to navigation ended with the construction of the Mount Hope Bridge in 1929, almost directly over the lighthouse. The lantern was removed and the property passed into private ownership. Bristol Ferry Lighthouse, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont Simon and Laura Thomas Owners Carol and Bob Lundin restored the building and had a new lantern room fabricated and installed in the 1990s. Today, the lighthouse is owned by Simon and Laura Thomas and managed as an inn, with bookings available through AirbnB and Vrbo. Simon and Laura are interviewed in this episode along with Rhode Island marine photographer Matthew Cohen. Judianne Point co-hosts.

This is an edited version of the second part of an interview with Dave and Lynn Waller, owners of Graves Lighthouse in outer Boston Harbor, a classic wave-swept granite tower on a barren, rocky ledge. The interview was first heard in May 2020 in episode 61. L to R: Bob Trapani Jr., Dave Waller, and Light Hearted host Jeremy D'Entremont in 2020 Dave Waller built this first-order Fresnel lens in his Malden, MA, home.

Neil Hurley Neil Hurley's interest in Florida lighthouses goes back to the mid-1980s. He was serving as a staff officer for the Seventh Coast Guard s District Aids to Navigation Branch, and he often had to answer questions about lighthouses in Florida. Neil decided to make Florida lighthouse history his off-duty hobby. That led to countless hours of research, and he's been the historian for the Florida Lighthouse Association since it was founded. His books include Florida's Lighthouses in the Civil War, An Illustrated History of Cape Florida Lighthouse, and Lighthouses of the Dry Tortugas: An Illustrated History, and he was co-author of the first edition of The Florida Lighthouse Trail. The articles he's written include several for the U.S. Lighthouse Society's quarterly journal, the Keeper's Log. Neil retired as a commander from the Coast Guard, and today he continues to work in the defense industry. This is episode is co-hosted by Ralph Krugler, historian for Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and historical archivist for the U.S. Lighthouse Society.

This is an edited version of an interview that was first heard in episode 60 in May 2020. The guest is Dave Waller, the owner of Graves Light in Boston Harbor. This is part one of two parts. Graves Light in June 2001, photo by Jeremy D'Entremont Dave Waller The ledges in outer Boston Harbor called the Graves – about 10 acres in all – have been home to a lighthouse since 1905. The 113-foot tower is made of granite, and a first-order Fresnel lens was installed in the lantern. After the light's automation in 1976, weather and vandalism took its toll. Under the guidelines of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, the lighthouse was sold in a government auction in September 2013 to businessman David Waller. Another partner for the preservation of Graves Light is the well-known Boston philanthropist Bobby Sager. Dave Waller owns a video special effects company headquartered on Newbury Street in Boston, and he also collects and restores old neon signs. He and his wife, Lynn, a graphic designer, live in a restored fire station in the Boston suburb of Malden.
