Big cats used to roam the entire United States. You might know them as mountain lions, pumas, cougars, or catamounts. Though they go by many names, they're actually all the same species.  Their current population is mostly confined to the West, and part of Florida, though in recent years they've been spotted in other areas east of the Mississippi River. Most cougars were gone from the Northeast by the 1800s, with the last verified accounts in the 1930s.  Mountain lion ecologist Mark Elbroch hopes to reintroduce these big cats back into their previous habitats in New England. But, should we? What are the benefits and drawbacks of reintroducing the apex predator into an ecosystem it's been away from for so long?  Guest: Dr. Mark Elbroch is the director of the puma program at Panthera, a big cat conservation organization.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Surveying wildlife along Lewis and Clark's route, 220 years later Are Raccoons On The Road To Domestication?

Benjamin L. Carp explains that following the blaze, the British detained several suspects found with "combustibles" like gunpowder and turpentine-soaked matches. While Washington officially claimed ignorance regarding the fire's origin, he privately celebrated the outcome. A notable figure associated with this period is Nathan Hale, who was executed as a spy just one day after the fire. Although most historians conclude Hale did not set the fires, the coincidence of his execution and reports of a "New England captain" caught in the act led many at the time to link him to the arson.

The path to a senior world title is entirely black and white. There is no grey area on an elevated mat inside the Prudential Center—only a best-of-three series that ends with one athlete holding a plane ticket to the World Championships and another left behind in the wrestling room. For decades, the senior level was defined by a specific geography: farm boys from the grain elevators of the Midwest or private school hammers out of New England. On June 19, the sport shifts its entire weight to the concrete of the Tri-State area as Final X pairs elite freestyle with the infrastructure of the country's largest grassroots wrestling network.NOTE: This was recorded prior to the annoucement that world medalists Real Woods and Kyle Welker have delayed their Final X series matches.  Host Jason Bryant sits down with Beat the Streets New York Executive Director Bob Seidel to dissect the structural evolution of an organization that has grown 300% over the last four years. These are not suburban athletes with parents chauffeuring them to private clubs; these are fiercely independent kids taking two-hour subway rides from the outer edges of Queens and Brooklyn just to get a hand-fight in the middle of Manhattan. Seidel details the extreme logistics of maintaining a permanent training center on the most expensive real estate in the country, and why the daily grind of mass transit translates directly into individual accountability on the mat. The conversation pivots to the relentless competitive stakes of the Newark card. The lightweight matchups represent a complete collision of eras and philosophies, headlined by the re-ignited rivalry at 57 kg between Olympic silver medalist Spencer Lee and reigning NCAA champion Luke Lilledahl—fresh off Lilledahl's shocking last-second headlock victory at the U.S. Open. From the hyper-aggressive offense of youth phenoms Bo Bassett and Jax Forrest to the structural control of multi-time world champions Helen Maroulis and Kyle Dake, this card is an absolute grinder. With Columbia University officially establishing the first Ivy League Division I women's program right in their backyard, this event marks the exact moment where the pipeline from the streets of New York to the global stage becomes undeniable. Want an ad-free version of the show AND the best in wrestling news from around the world?

Allen covers Siemens Gamesa’s warning that Europe is 40 GW short on offshore wind, Shell’s plan to sell its offshore wind farms, Maine’s multi-state bidding round, and Egypt’s grid financing deal.

And subscribe to Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! The wind industry got a warning this week… and it came from the top. Siemens Gamesa, the world's largest maker of offshore wind turbines, says governments in Europe may be running out of time. The company's chief executive sounded the alarm Thursday. Europe is currently forty gigawatts short of its one-hundred-and-twenty gigawatt offshore target for twenty thirty. Sixteen gigawatts of projects in Germany alone are at risk of delay, tangled up in lengthy permitting and grid connection backlogs. The plants are running full today. But without new orders soon, factories could go dark for contracts starting in twenty twenty-eight. “It is not yet an existential threat,” said Siemens Gamesa chief Vinod Philip, “but it could become one.” He stopped short of predicting shutdowns. But he said the company would likely have to downsize resources if governments fail to act quickly. Europe's offshore supply chain has already committed fourteen billion euros to meet the twenty thirty targets. That is roughly sixteen billion dollars… with no guarantee the orders will follow. Meanwhile… one of the world's biggest oil companies is quietly walking away from wind. Shell is preparing to sell its offshore wind farms in a deal that could fetch more than one billion dollars. The company has hired advisers to run the process, which could launch before the year is out, with a sale expected sometime in twenty twenty-seven. Shell once dreamed of becoming the world's largest electricity producer. That vision died when its current chief executive took over in early twenty twenty-three and shifted the focus back to fossil fuels and shareholder returns. Since then, Shell has been unwinding its green power portfolio piece by piece. It sold its European onshore renewables arm. It sold Indian renewable company Sprng Energy, which it had bought just years earlier for one-point-five-five billion dollars. And it walked away from planned offshore wind farms in Scotland. When this latest sale closes, Shell will have little wind left in its portfolio. But where one door closes… another opens. Up in the northernmost corner of Maine, a region that has sat on one of the best wind resources in the country for years, a long-awaited breakthrough may finally be at hand. The Maine Public Utilities Commission is closing its latest round of bidding for wind and solar generation in Aroostook County, plus the new transmission lines needed to move that power south to the rest of New England. The target: at least twelve hundred megawatts. Enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. Maine is not going it alone this time. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont are sharing the cost of the new transmission infrastructure. The previous attempt in twenty twenty-one fell apart. Costs rose. Deals could not be finalized. Landowners fought the proposed one-hundred-forty-mile power line. This time, officials say things are different. The multi-state partnership changes the math. And northern Maine's wind resource has not gone anywhere. Dozens of energy companies have signed up to compete, from local developers to major multinationals. If everything goes to plan, the best-case scenario puts new turbines spinning in the twenty thirties. And half a world away… Egypt is making a major investment to keep pace with its own renewable ambitions. The Egyptian prime minister this week witnessed the signing of a financing agreement worth sixty billion Egyptian pounds, earmarked for the national electricity transmission network. That money will go toward upgrading the grid so it can absorb the solar and wind power Egypt plans to add in the coming years. The target: forty-five percent of national electricity from renewable sources by twenty twenty-eight. The electricity minister said modernizing the grid is a “continuous and evolving process,” and that implementation timelines are being compressed to meet that twenty twenty-eight deadline. The wind is shifting. The question is… who moves with it. And that's the state of the wind industry for the 15th of June 2026. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast tomorrow.

Ike, Spike, and Fritz explore the anxiety surrounding A.J. Brown's move to the Patriots and whether his potential success will make the Philadelphia front office look foolish. They reflect on past sports departures like Jimmy Butler before reminiscing about their own humble beginnings in the workforce. The crew also investigates potential fraudulence regarding local figures spotted supporting the Knicks during the NBA playoffs.

At last week's NYU IHIF, Glenn Haussman talks with John Schultzel, Chief Growth Officer at Olympia Hospitality, about drive-to demand, shrinking booking windows, rate discipline, destination marketing, and how hotels can stay close to guests without losing the human side of hospitality. Olympia operates across New England, up and down the East Coast, and as far west as Colorado, giving John a clear look at different market patterns. He sees continued opportunity in drive-to leisure markets, even when broader economic stress makes travelers more cautious. Drive-to demand can hold up when travelers still want a getaway but rethink distance or transportation Short booking windows make pricing discipline harder when hotels watch pace late in the week Creative packages beat panic discounting when travelers make last-minute decisions Hotels need stronger destination marketing because guests often choose the place before they choose the property Weather should change the message, not kill the opportunity AI can help marketing teams move faster while still keeping the human side of hospitality intact Thanks to Actabl.

Gay men know what it cost to come out. Bisexual people paid that same price and then got rejected by the community that was supposed to finally understand. Katherine Wela Bogen is a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, scholar-activist with 600K followers, and author of the debut novel Queering Him. She and Rick get into the real conversation gay and bisexual men keep not having: where the experiences genuinely overlap, where they do not, and why assuming you already understand bisexuality because you know gay identity causes real damage. This one asks gay men over 40 to look at a blind spot most of them did not know they had. Key Takeaways: Where gay and bisexual experience genuinely meet and where they part waysWhy bisexual people have worse health outcomes than gay or lesbian individualsHow double discrimination operates differently than what gay men experienceWhat it actually costs to get rejected by the community that should get it mostWhat Queering Him is and why Katie wrote it About Katherine In her own words, Katherine Wela Bogen is “first, a storyteller; second, a scholar-activist; and third, a joyful little freak.” Bisexual and Jewish, she grew up in rural New England.

Independent ATM Deployers are a critical part of the ATM ecosystem. These front-line businesses provide access to cash in areas deemed too risky by financial institutions. The market for IADs has changed significantly in recent years, both in negative and positive ways, such as declining cash usage, rising AI tools and advanced ATM features.In today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience podcast, Bradley Cooper, podcast host and editor of ATM Marketplace, spoke with Todd McEwan, president of New England ATM, an ATM service provider based in the New England states, about what the past and present landscape is like for IADs.One fact he pointed to was that the market for IADs has changed significantly. He said in 2008 it was very common not to see ATMs in convenience stores, but now the market has matured and one can find ATMs in gas stations and convenience stores around the U.S.Over time, the valuable locations have changed as well. Hotels and hospitality were highly sought after in the early 2000s, as customers would often withdraw cash to tip taxis, but with the onset of Uber and other ridesharing apps, this has cut into the market. McEwan said the current most valuable locations for IADs are "vice" locations such as cannabis dispensaries, liquor stores and other shops of that nature.Of course, by installing in locations like these, IADs also have to think carefully about security. He pointed out that on average, his business loses "$7,000 to $10,000" annually due to theft, and he has to consider that a "business expense." In some locations, he doesn't stock the ATMs with a lot of cash due to the risk of theft. For loss prevention, he said it's important to bolt the ATM to the floor and keep it away from easy access such as doors and windows.McEwan discussed a number of other topics of importance to IADs including:How is cash usage trend impacting the business?What's good tactics for dealing with banking relationships?How feasible is it to provide more advanced features for an ATM as an IAD?Listen to the discussion in its entirety above.

The Cincinnati Bengals created salary cap space this week by restructuring quarterback Joe Burrow's contract, a move that longtime observers say reflects an unusually aggressive offseason for the franchise. According to multiple reports, the restructuring frees up approximately $10 million in salary cap space and comes after the Bengals acquired All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence in a blockbuster trade. The move is notable because Cincinnati has historically avoided restructuring contracts to push salary cap charges into future seasons. “I think one of the biggest things for me, quite frankly, is that it shows this continues to be an atypical offseason,” Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner said to Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media. “From trading for Dexter Lawrence to overspending at a couple of positions of need, it continues that trend.” While some of the newly created cap space helps account for Lawrence's contract, Skinner said the move also gives the Bengals flexibility to address other roster needs, including adding a veteran linebacker or offensive tackle. The restructuring came just minutes before the Bengals announced the signing of second-round draft pick Cashius Howell, officially putting all seven members of the team's 2026 draft class under contract. Unlike a pay cut, a restructuring converts salary into a signing bonus that can be spread across future years of the contract. “They did the best of both worlds,” Skinner said. “It gives you the flexibility to still add to the roster today without just kicking the can way down the road.” Petraglia noted the Bengals could have freed up nearly twice as much cap space but chose a more measured approach. “By converting only enough salary to free up the $10 million, I think the Bengals showed a layer of restraint,” Petraglia said. “It's the best of both worlds for the Bengals in this particular case.” The discussion also highlighted several emerging storylines from organized team activities. One is veteran safety Kyle Dugger, who joined Cincinnati after stops with New England and Pittsburgh. Skinner described Dugger as a potentially valuable veteran presence and a candidate to contribute in defensive packages featuring three safeties. The pair also discussed rookie linebacker Boye Mafe, whose versatility could allow defensive coordinator Al Golden to deploy more varied fronts featuring players who can rush the passer or drop into coverage. Both agreed that Lawrence remains one of the most intriguing additions heading into training camp. “I cannot wait to see Dexter Lawrence line up against somebody else,” Skinner said. “He's just going to overwhelm some people at times.” Mandatory minicamp begins next week, when coaches and media will get a clearer picture of how the Bengals' revamped roster fits together heading into the 2026 season.

Metacom's Resistance, Puritan Mythology, and King Philip's War with Sarah Stewart (Partnership of Historic Bostons)We speak with Sarah Stewart, president of the Partnership of Historic Bostons, a public history organization focused on 17th-century New England, to confront Puritan mythology and widen the lens beyond Salem to Indigenous history, enslaved Africans, and displaced peoples. We dig into why King Philip's War, which is often skipped in schools and told through colonial monuments, Increase Mather, and captivity narratives, was a turning point that devastated Native sovereignty, reshaped New England, and fed the fear that later influenced the Salem witch trials. Sarah breaks down PHB's “Metacom's Resistance” series, the need for reframing the war through Indigenous voices, and the realities of enslavement, land commodification, and legal encroachment on sovereignty. 00:00 Meet Sarah Stewart00:50 Origins of the Partnership01:51 Broadening the 17th Century Lens03:21 Programs and Events04:58 Puritans Beyond the Myths06:51 Building Community Feedback08:06 Why King Philip's War Matters10:53 How the Story Got Distorted13:22 Metacom's Resistance Series17:49 Indigenous Voices Center Stage20:50 Violence and Witch Trial Fear23:59 Captivity and Enslavement25:53 Land Commodification Clash28:50 Land And Equality29:31 Amplifying Indigenous Voices33:08 Powerful Panels And Future Events37:08 Puritans Fear And Ongoing Wars39:11 Courts Sovereignty And Punishment42:23 Thomas Morton And Other Paths45:29 War Choices And Modern Parallels46:55 Audience Reflections And Truth52:01 Keep Learning Stay ConnectedPartnership of Historic Bostons“The Unknown War: King Philip's War, 1675-1678” (video)“The Past is Now: An Inter-Tribal Panel Discussion of King Philp's War” (video)“Surviving Slavery: Indigenous Enslavement in King Philip's War” (video)“Erasure: History, Memory and King Philip's War” (video)“What Really Happened at Turners Falls?” (video)“The Long Legacy: The Cost and Consequences of King Philip's War” (video)“The Slews and Hoars of Beverly: From Witchcraft to Slavery” (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GEspMnY9-o“The Other: Understanding Witch Hunts, Part I, with Emerson Baker, Sarah Jack, and Josh Hutchinson” (video)“Resistance: Stopping Witch Hunts, Part II” (video)Jenny Hale Pulsipher, Subjects unto the Same King: Indians, English, and the Contest for Authority in Colonial New EnglandJill Lepore, The Name of War: King Philip's War and the Origins of American IdentityPeter C.

Born and raised in Newport, Rhode Island, Sid Abruzzi came to surfing and skateboarding in the early 1960s. In 1969, 18-year-old Abbruzzi drove down to New Jersey to buy a few Rick single-fins, as surfboards were hard to come by in Rhode Island back then. He swiftly sold the boards, then sold another batch, and found a liking for this buying and selling business. In 1971, Abbruzzi opened Water Brothers Surf and Skate, which became the hub of surf-skate culture in Rhode Island. And in the spirit of "If you build it, they will come," the various quarterpipes, halfpipes, and full-scale skateparks that Abbruzzi spearheaded attracted the world's greatest skateboarders.  Hailed as the "Godfather of New England surfing," Abbruzzi is a regular at Ruggles, the fabled reef break along the scenic Newport Cliff Walk. When it became endangered, he stepped up as the spot's most vocal advocate, fighting the good fight—and winning.  Abbruzzi is a punk rocker. In 1981, he, his brother, and some friends started the band Big World. Abbruzzi was the lead singer. He threw body and blood into the shows. Big World opened for Iggy Pop, The Tubes, and Johnny Thunders, among others. Abbruzzi is the subject of Water Brother: The Sid Abbruzzi Story, a 2024 feature documentary. Now 74, Abbruzzi lives with his wife Danielle not far from the break where he first rode his first waves some 60-plus years ago. In this episode of Soundings, Abbruzzi talks with Jamie Brisick about the founding of Water Brothers, the commitment of cold water surfing, building his legendary skatepark, playing music, and shaping New England's surf and skate scene for over half a century.

On the shores of Vermont's Lake Champlain in the summer of 1968, two camp counselors watched a glowing craft descend over the dark water before losing hours of time they could never explain. What followed were terrifying dreams, recovered memories, hypnosis sessions, and claims of telepathic contact that would haunt them for decades. Known today as the Buff Ledge abduction case, the encounter became one of New England's most chilling and heavily investigated UFO cases.
