This is an edited interview first heard in May 2021, and the subject is Montauk Lighthouse on Long Island, New York. Located at the eastern tip of Long Island, Montauk is the oldest (1797) lighthouse in New York and the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the country. When the light station was automated and de-staffed in 1987, a museum opened in the keeper's house, operated by the Montauk Historical Society. Mia Certic became the executive director of the Montauk Historical Society in April 2020. She is a writer and screenwriter who's lived in California for many years, but she's spent every summer in her life at Montauk. Henry Osmers is now retired as historian for the lighthouse, and he's written four books about Montauk history. One of them, On Eagle's Beak, published in 2008, was the first major history of the lighthouse.

Campobello Island is in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada, near the border with Maine. With trade, fishing, and shipbuilding flourishing on Campobello in the 1820s, it was decided that a lighthouse was needed. The lighthouse and the other station buildings were constructed in 1829 on a tiny island just offshore, accessible by land only at low tide. The 51-foot tower is one of the oldest surviving wooden lighthouses in North America. The station remained staffed with resident keepers until its automation in 1986. A group called the Friends of the Head Harbour Lightstation was formed in 2000 to preserve the site and its history. Ilana Grallert is on the board of the Friends of the Head Harbour Lightstation and performs all kinds of functions for the group, as you'll hear. Ilana was formerly a processing specialist at the special collections library of Dartmouth College. Head Harbour Light Station, New Brunswick, Canada. Photo by Jeremy D’Entremont.

This is the audio from a live streaming episode on June 3, 2026. Seguin Light Station, photo by Jeremy D’Entremont Seguin Island Light Station is about two and a half miles off of the mouth of the Kennebec River in Maine. The establishment of a light station on Seguin was approved by president George Washington in 1793, and the buildings were completed in 1796. The 53-foot stone tower that still stands was constructed in 1857 along with a duplex keepers' house. A new first-order Fresnel lens was installed, and that lens remains in operation today. The light was automated in 1985 and the keepers were removed. Concerned local citizens  founded the Friends of Seguin Island Light Station in 1986. In February 1998, under the Maine Lights Program, ownership of the property was transferred to the group. There are two guests in the episode. Chris Hall was the registrar and curator of exhibits at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath and he's now the historian for FOSILS. Tip Koehler is a retired Naval architect with 41 years in naval combatant design, manufacturing, and testing on Bath built ships. and is the vice president of the Friends of Seguin Island Light Station.

St. Johns River Lighthouse (Mayport Lighthouse Association) The St. Johns River Lighthouse is a decommissioned lighthouse located on the grounds of Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Florida. First lighted in 1859, it was decommissioned in 1929 and replaced with a lightship. The lightship in turn was replaced by the 1954 Art Deco style St. Johns Lighthouse, which is also on Naval Station Mayport. The Mayport Lighthouse Association or MLA is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and restoring St. Johns River Lighthouse, as well as safeguarding the cultural, historical, and maritime heritage of Mayport Village. Our guest, Elizabeth Boggs, is the vice president of the Mayport Lighthouse Association. Elizabeth was recently awarded a “Guiding Light” award for her volunteer work at the St. Augustine Lighthouse.

Amazon's announcement of its own distribution network poses a significant challenge to UPS. The delivery industry is facing increased competition from various players, including Amazon and FedEx. Carol Tomé's leadership strategy focuses on building better, not bigger, for UPS. The recent tragedy involving a delivery driver highlights the need for safety and awareness in the industry. Drivers should not take offense if customers are more cautious around them after recent events. The hosts emphasize the importance of community and support among delivery drivers. The return of photo delivery is seen as a positive step for customer service. The conversation reflects on the changing landscape of the delivery industry and its future. The hosts express a mix of humor and seriousness regarding their experiences back at work. Justice is a complex issue, especially in cases of severe crimes. Family time can lead to personal growth and reflection. Anniversaries are opportunities for unique experiences and memories. Mother's Day can evoke both joy and reflection on loss. Lighthearted discussions can provide comic relief in serious conversations. Support for political candidates can stem from personal connections and values. Golf is a sport that combines frustration with moments of joy. Creating memorable experiences with family is essential. Navigating difficult conversations can lead to deeper understanding. Celebrating milestones, like a 200th episode, is a significant achievement.

Jonathon Gaare (Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society) Jonathon Gaare, executive director of the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society in New York, last joined us in December 2024. In this episode, Jonathon updates us on preservation projects at the lighthouse, the exciting events lined up for Fire Island Light Station’s 200th anniversary this year, and some exciting historical finds. The current lighthouse at Fire Island, built in 1858, is a 168-foot brick tower. Visitors get to climb the tower for an amazing view, and there’s a museum in the keeper’s house. Another big draw is the separate building that was constructed to exhibit the lighthouse’s old first-order Fresnel lens. The Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society was formed in 1982 to preserve the site. An evening tower tour at Fire Island (Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society)

Bill Merlin had a 34-year career in the Coast Guard. After graduating from the Coast Guard Academy in 1956, he served on Coast Guard cutters in the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Caribbean. He eventually served as the Twelfth District Chief of Operations and Chief of Staff in San Francisco. That's where he met Wayne Wheeler, founder of the U.S. Lighthouse Society. Bill was instumental in the early days of the Society. He retired in 1990 as a rear admiral. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States. Bill is currently the treasurer on the U.S. Lighthouse Society board of directors. We talked about his distinguished career and also about his view of the place of lighthouses in the world today. Early in his Coast Guard career, Bill Merlin served aboard the USCG Cutter Androscoggin, based in Miami, Florida.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with some easygoing chatter about an unusually cool, rain-soaked spring—before heading straight into far darker territory. Because once the sun goes down and the trees close in, something changes… and everyone feels it.First, a listener shares two chilling encounters with a creature known only as the Hoof Man, said to stalk the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Reservation in Arizona. What begins as a family cookout quickly spirals into confusion, fear, and missing meat… but the second encounter? That's when things get up close—and far more terrifying.Then, we head deep into the swamps of Louisiana, where another listener recounts a night of illegal hunting that turned into something he's never been able to explain. Step for step, something walked alongside them in the darkness—always just out of sight, always just beyond the beam of their lights. Was it the legendary Honey Island Swamp Monster… or something even stranger?After the break, Cam brings a collection of truly unsettling camping and backpacking encounters that all circle back to one question:Why is being in the woods so unnerving?Is it just our imagination playing tricks on us… or is there something primal—something ancient—watching from between the trees?Lighthearted moments, eerie stories, and a deep dive into that universal, creeping fear of the wilderness… all of that and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives.Sponsors:Mars Men: For a limited time, our listeners can get 50% off for life plus Free Shipping AND 3 Free Gifts at MenGoToMars.com.
