Podcasts about Niagara Falls

In the summer of 1960, seven-year-old Roger Woodward was just a kid looking forward to a boat ride on the Niagara River to celebrate his sister's birthday—he had no idea he was about to experience something that should have been impossible. When a simple mechanical failure turned their peaceful afternoon into a nightmare, Roger found himself being swept toward the edge of Niagara Falls, powerless against 750,000 gallons of water rushing past him every second. What followed was a series of moments so improbable, so perfectly timed, that witnesses called it a miracle—from his sister's desperate fight for survival just feet from the brink, to Roger's own journey over a 188-foot waterfall. This is the story of the boy who fell into Niagara Falls and lived, and the ordinary people who became heroes in the most extraordinary circumstances.

God has given everyone a general revelation of himself by displaying the beauty and power of creation. Though some reject this truth, it is obvious in the heart and mind of man that there is a God.Main Points:1. As we look around at our world, we see the clues God has left. When you stand at the Grand Canyon, you can't help but be overwhelmed at the mighty power of God to create such magnificence. When you see the vast Pacific Ocean, the power of Niagara Falls, the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, you know there must be a creator.2. I believe King Solomon was right when he said in Ecclesiastes, “God has put eternity on our hearts.” The longing we feel, the cravings we experience, and the unfulfilled desires all leads us to the one who can meet every need and satisfy our every desire. His name is Jesus. He is the Son of God, our Savior, and our Lord.3. Seasons come and seasons go, but nothing in this life is completely satisfying. Solomon said, “it's all vanity.” But through it all, we have a glimpse of something more. We recognize this world is not our home. Creation points to a God who is in control and one who has given us a Savior.Today's Scripture Verses:Romans 1:20 - “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”Ecclesiastes 3:11 states God has “set eternity in the human heart.”Psalm 19:1 - “The Heavens declare the glory of God.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

On the final episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming for 2025, GNC writer-in-chief Dave Briggs and Covers gaming industry senior correspondent Geoff Zochodne were our guests for a media roundtable on the year that's been, and what lies ahead for 2026. The conversation included a record revenue monthfor Ontario's legal operators in November with non-adjusted gross gaming revenue surpassing $400 million for the first time since the province's open, regulated market opened its doors in April 2022. Zochodne and Briggs provided their thoughts on Ontario, the province's Court of Appeal decision earlier this year around liquidity and what should be top of mind for iGaming Ontario boss Joseph Hillier and Co. going into 2026. Of course, there's a segment devoted to Alberta and the provincial government's plans to launch its expanded legal gaming marketplace next year. Our two media guests chimed in on the industry's continued efforts around responsible gaming, Ontario Premier Doug Ford's latest plan to turn Niagara Falls into the “Vegas of the North” and a discussion around changes to the Canadian horse racing industry – including Great Canadian Entertainment's decision earlier this month to close historic Hastings Park. Finally, Briggs and Zochodne identified some storylines to follow over the next 12 months. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cabbacis CEO Joe Pandolfino joined Steve Darling from to discuss the company's strategic preparations to enter the U.S. market with its proprietary low-nicotine tobacco products. Cabbacis is a federally licensed tobacco product manufacturer with a robust intellectual property portfolio that includes 35 issued patents worldwide, covering its iBlend™ cigarettes and vaporizer pod technology. The company operates out of a manufacturing facility in Niagara Falls, New York, and is led by a management team that brings more than 50 years of combined experience in the tobacco industry. Pandolfino explained that iBlend™ products have been specifically engineered to align with anticipated regulatory changes in the United States. He noted that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is advancing a rule that could require a reduction of nicotine levels in all cigarettes sold in the country by approximately 95%. “The FDA is moving forward a rule which would mandate the reduction of nicotine in all cigarettes sold in the United States by about 95%,” Pandolfino said, positioning iBlend™ as a potential solution for a post-regulation tobacco market. Cabbacis' strategy centers on improving consumer acceptance of very low nicotine cigarettes, which multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown can significantly reduce smoking frequency and nicotine dependence. Pandolfino highlighted that the company's proprietary blend incorporates hemp alongside tobacco, a formulation that internal focus group research indicates is more appealing to smokers than traditional very low nicotine products. Looking ahead, Cabbacis plans to conduct additional studies in the first quarter of 2026 to support regulatory submissions. The company is targeting the submission of a Pre-Market Tobacco Application (PMTA) to the FDA for its iBlend™ products in the first half of 2026. Pandolfino told Proactive that achieving FDA authorization would mark a major milestone and could position Cabbacis as an early mover in a rapidly evolving, regulation-driven U.S. tobacco landscape. #proactiveinvestors #cabaccis #otcqb #cabi #Cabbacis #iBlend #LowNicotine #TobaccoInnovation #FDARegulation #PMTA #NicotineReduction #HarmReduction #TobaccoIndustry #SmokingCessation #RegulatoryStrategy #IntellectualProperty #PatentedTechnology #USMarketEntry #ConsumerHealth

SEASON 4 EPISODE 42: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is drowning. Trump’s presidency is DROWNING. Yesterday, it was Republicans forcing a vote to extend Obamacare subsidies. Yesterday, 38 PERCENT approval in the Marist poll. Monday, his Rob Reiner tweet that appalled even the worst of MAGA. Tuesday, Susie Wiles. Friday, the Epstein Files, proving: no, history doesn’t repeat itself but yes, sometimes it LITERALLY rhymes. The Venezuela Wag-The-Dog episode collapsed before it started. It's about Narco-terrorism, whatever the eff that is? Oil? Stuff they stole? Nuh uh. For the first but not the last time we turn to Susie Wiles for the, uh, well, it’s a strange word to use about the Trump administration but here it is: TRUTH. "He wants to keep on blowing boats up until [president Nicolás] Maduro cries uncle. And people way smarter than me on that say that he will." She also single-handedly ended the just-forming prosecution of Jack Smith, and the vowed prosecution of Anthony Fauci, and the already-moribund prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James and Adam Schiff and and and…All those cases will be thrown out of court. All of them. Because Susie Wiles is on tape saying quote “I don’t think he wakes up thinking about retribution but when there’s an opportunity he will go for it.” About Comey, quote: “I mean, people could think it does look vindictive. I can’t tell you why you shouldn’t think that.” Trump’s chief of staff. Confirming it’s retribution. And retribution means selective prosecution and selective prosecution is illegal and you not only get the case thrown out, if you’ve had to defend yourself or your reputation has been hurt, you can sue the government. And it’s on TAPE. So why did she say it? Why did she think she could get away with it? Because inside the White House even the Chief of Staff knows Trump is drowning. And they are beginning to distance themselves from him. B-Block (27:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Laura Ingraham doesn't know Niagara Falls is in Ontario or Ontario is in Canada or that Premier Doug Ford isn't an American. I make bad choices in Exes. And these MAGA idiots just cannot see anything in the world any more without trying to force it into their brain-dead templates: it MUST be political and it MUST be an attack on Trump. New York City councilwoman Vickie Paladino "knows" the terrible shooting was an attack on Republicans at Brown University, and the moronic troll "Cat Turd" is sure they're wiping the shooter's social media history clean (which is an idea he should execute). C-Block (37:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I'm off by only four days from the exact anniversary, but it is now 42 years since I first met and interviewed Trump and I know most of us who knew him before knew he was nuts, but I must give myself credit. An hour after that meeting I was asking a colleague "what the eff is wrong with THAT guy?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Barry, Abigail, and special guest Carlo “from Canada” Sgro discuss Carlo's Phone-a-Friend selection, Version 2.0 by Garbage, and sample Carlo's choice of three Canadian porters: Stranger Than Fiction from Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton, Ontario; Clifford Porter from Clifford Brewing Co. in Hamilton, Ontario; and Vanilla Porter from Side Launch Brewing Company in Collingwood, Ontario.Abigail always gets Collective Arts confused with Untitled Art in Waunakee, Wisconsin. Barry always gets it confused with Counterpart Brewing in Niagara Falls, Ontario.Carlo told the story of Shirley Manson calling Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders to ask permission to use the lyrics “We were the talk of the town” in Special, since Manson had pulled those lyrics from The Pretenders' Talk of the Town. Hynde agreed, and did not ask for any credit or royalties, before even having heard Special, and rumor had it she was flattered by the ask.Hammering in My Head reminded Barry of Leave by R.E.M.Barry heard elements of both The Munsters theme and The Beach Boys' Don't Worry Baby in Push It. Unfortunately, he cannot claim credit at the AHSOSSAM for this find, as Garbage credited The Beach Boys for those lyrics and melody.

Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is: "A Day at Niagara Falls – Solo, Soaked & Spectacular" Today, we're diving into the thundering wonder that is Niagara Falls, from a solo female traveler's lens — and yes, I got a little wet. On the Road to the Falls I took the FlixBus from Toronto to Niagara Falls. The ride is scenic and comfortable, even with a bit of drama—my Toronto Metro train broke down this morning. I had to get off and wait for a new train, adding 10 minutes of stress, but I made it to Union Station with 10 minutes to spare. Assigned seats on the FlixBus? Yes, but only six of us are aboard. Arrival and First Impressions Niagara Falls is hot, humid, and packed with tourists, but the moment you see those Horseshoe Falls, it's all worth it. There are three waterfalls here: Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil, but the Canadian side is definitely the star. I hopped on the Canadian version of the Maid of the Mist—you'll get soaked, especially your socks and sneakers like mine were. But you'll also get rainbows, misty selfies, and memories that stick. A little side note: I had a sore little toe, so I MacGyvered it with a Band-Aid and masking tape. That's solo travel resilience! Good impression: the Queen's Palace and a delicious ice cream. Free water refills and restrooms here. Nearby, there is a Hidden Park called "The Secret Garden". Spend your extra time here and relax in the grassy areas. The hotel section of the falls left a good impression: A walking tour of the hotels and touristy sights resembled the strip in a touristy trap like Las Vegas. The Hard Rock Cafe. The Sheraton, Rainbow Forest, and games for kids. I would not want to stay here by choice. There is a free bus that takes you to and from the parking lot where the Flix Bus and other buses congregate. There is some walking, though. If you are not up for that, you will want to stay closer to town. It's flat. There are no hills here to speak of. There are a lot of seniors, so expect to have special needs taken care of upon arrival. But it never hurts to ask in advance. Sights to Soak In   Here's what I recommend for women over 50 visiting Niagara Falls without a car: Niagara SkyWheel – An enclosed Ferris wheel with views from above. Great if you want the drama without the wet socks. https://www.cliftonhill.com/attractions/niagara-skywheel https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit/attractions/journey-behind-the-falls/ https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/play/outdoor-recreation/niagara-parks-botanical-gardens/ https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/play/outdoor-recreation/dufferin-islands/ https://www.niagaraonthelake.com/ Journey Behind the Falls – Walk through tunnels to observation decks behind the roaring water. Just bring a poncho. I thoroughly enjoyed that, so go there first. Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory – Peaceful, flower-filled, and shaded—ideal for avoiding tourist fatigue. These were closed early, so I did not get to experience them, except from the outside. Dufferin Islands – A quiet nature escape just a short walk from the main attraction. Niagara-on-the-Lake – A 20-minute shuttle or bus ride gets you to this charming town with wineries, boutiques, and calm waters. Do it if you want a "reset" after the tourist crush.

THE WIDOW'S OFFERING Mark 12:41–44 Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus: Jesus sees value where the world sees insignificance. The God who notices a poor widow's two pennies is the same God who sees you and knows you. SERMON SUMMARY Jesus sits in the temple, watching people give their offerings. In a surprising move, He draws His disciples' attention—not to the wealthy, powerful, or impressive, but to a poor widow who drops in two tiny coins. Her gift, seemingly worthless, becomes one of the most famous moments of worship in all of Scripture. Coleton teaches that Jesus uses this woman as an object lesson to form His disciples—and us. The heart of the message is this: Jesus highlights this woman because He wants His followers to live with her kind of obedience, sacrifice, and trust. Coleton explores three reasons Jesus focuses our attention on this woman's life. 1. Be Obedient With the Seemingly Insignificant Stuff Mark 12:41–42 “Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.” Jesus watches people give. Many contribute large sums, but a poor widow drops in two lepta—the smallest coins in circulation. Mark Strauss writes: “Two lepta could almost purchase a handful of flour… less than one penny today.” In other words, her gift can't pay for anything. If we watched her give, most of us would be tempted to say, “Ma'am, please keep it. It won't help.” But she gives anyway. She does not give based on outcomes or impact—she gives out of obedience. This is the first lesson: Obedience is not about impact. It's about faithfulness. Christians often fall into disobedience because we think: What difference will forgiving them make? What difference will praying make? What difference will reading my Bible make? What difference does kindness make? But Coleton reminds us: Nearly everything God calls His people to do looks insignificant in the moment—but God loves to use small acts to unleash enormous outcomes. Examples from Scripture: Moses: “Raise your staff over the sea.” Joshua: “March around Jericho.” Samuel: “Anoint the youngest son, the shepherd boy.” And the results? A sea split, walls fell, and David became Israel's greatest king. Examples from Jesus' ministry: “Fill the jars with water.” “Bring me what bread you have.” “Go show yourself to the priest.” Again and again, God works through small acts of obedience. Coleton then shares the story of David Wilkerson, the small-town pastor who obeyed a tiny, strange prompting: stop watching TV at night and pray instead. That insignificant act eventually led him to New York City, to ministry among gang members, to founding Teen Challenge, and to beginning Times Square Church—now influencing 140 nations. What began with giving up TV changed lives worldwide. Coleton also shares from his own life: A simple prayer to surrender his life to Jesus Reading Scripture daily Going to counseling Turning the other cheek Fasting and praying None of these felt dramatic in the moment. All of them changed his life. Point: God delights to work through the small things. Jesus points to this woman because she obeys God even in the places that seem insignificant. 2. Be Obedient Even When It Costs You Mark 12:44 “They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” The widow's obedience isn't just small—it's costly. She gives all she has. Literally, she “lays down her whole life.” James R. Edwards paraphrases the Greek: “She lay down her whole life.” This is the second reason Jesus points to her: Jesus wants followers who obey even when obedience costs them something. Coleton notes that Western Christians often prefer convenient obedience. But true discipleship requires sacrifice. C.S. Lewis wrote: “I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give… The only safe rule is to give more than we can spare… If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small.” This doesn't apply only to money. It applies to: Forgiveness — which costs us comfort and pride Confession — which costs our image Serving the poor — which costs our time and resources Living within our means — which costs our wants Marriage and parenting — which cost our preferences and independence Coleton gives honest, vulnerable examples: In marriage, he could “win” arguments by being bigger and louder—but that would crush intimacy. As a father, he could refuse to sacrifice his time—but Teddy would pay the price. In friendships, refusing to risk or be selfless leads to loneliness. We want life on our terms but still want the fruits of obedience. But we cannot have both. Then Coleton shares a story about Teddy getting stuck in a playground structure—terrified and refusing help because doing it “Dad's way” felt worse than being stuck. That posture, he says, is all of us: We would rather stay stuck than trust Jesus when His way feels costly. Jesus points to the woman because her costly obedience leads to life. Jesus doesn't ask for sacrifice to harm us but to heal and free us. 3. Trust Him Even When It Doesn't Make Sense This widow doesn't just obey—she trusts God with her entire life. Jesus celebrates her because she trusts God beyond her understanding. Coleton illustrates this with one of the most powerful stories of trust ever recorded: Charles Blondin, the tightrope walker who crossed Niagara Falls. After crossing the falls multiple daring ways, Blondin decided to cross with another person on his back. His manager, Harry Colcord, was the one who climbed onto him. Before stepping onto the rope, Blondin told him: “Don't look down. Look up… You must be one with me. If I sway, sway with me. Do not attempt to do any balancing yourself. If you do, we will both go to our death.” Harry later said: “I learned more religion on that wire than in all my life.” Solomon says the same thing in Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Jesus calls us to trust Him because He wants to lead us into places we could never reach on our own. Coleton names the hard questions: Why trust Jesus when it doesn't make sense to surrender? Why trust when prayer feels pointless? Why forgive enemies? Why give sacrificially? Why wait on God? Why believe He can use suffering for good? Jesus is not dismissing the tension—He's saying: “Stop trying to balance yourself. Let Me carry you.” The widow shows us what that kind of trust looks like. FINAL CHALLENGE Jesus points to this woman because: She obeys God in the insignificant things. She obeys God even when it costs her. She trusts God even when it makes no sense. And Jesus wants the same kind of life in us—not to burden us, but to lead us into freedom, joy, and the abundant life He promises. He has already proven His love by giving everything for us. Therefore, we can entrust everything to Him. Discipleship Group Questions Where in your life does obedience feel insignificant or pointless? What might God be asking you to do anyway? What is one area where following Jesus currently costs you? How might obedience in that area lead to greater freedom? Which of Jesus' commands do you struggle to trust because it doesn't make sense to you? How have you seen God work through something small or seemingly insignificant in your life? What would it look like this week to “sway with God” instead of trying to balance your own life?

It's a life-or-death situation for 30 beluga whales currently being held at Marineland, an amusement park located in Niagara Falls, Ont., who's doors shuttered more than a year ago following claims of animal mistreatment.The park has requested the mammals be moved to an aquarium in China, or for the federal government to provide emergency funding to keep them alive - or else they risk being euthanized. While these whales' lives remain in limo, these last weeks have been a finger-pointing battle between the park, the provincial government and federal government, all claiming onus doesn't fall on their shoulders to care for the whales.Host Richard Southern speaks to Liam Casey, a journalist for the Canadian Press, to discuss the park's claims of insufficient funds, and where exactly these whales belong if Marineland can't take care of them.

What the if all bodies of water on Earth were fizzy like soda? In the real world, Seneca Lake in New York produces mysterious underwater booms called "Seneca guns" that scientists think come from occasional gas pockets, but nobody knows for sure. But in our imaginary world where every lake constantly fizzes like champagne, Chicago would relocate to the mountains as Lake Michigan burps methane clouds all day long. New York and London would move to higher ground, while only brave "soda dwellers" would live at water level like Mad Max characters in vans by the river. Niagara Falls would transform into a methane-harvesting factory with enormous vacuum cleaners shipping gas to Texas for barbecue. Cities would rebuild on mountainsides and clifftops, everyone would construct homes on stilts near shores, and Mentos would become weapons of mass destruction capable of triggering lake explosions. Based on "Why is this lake burping?" published in The New York Times on Oct. 8, 2025: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/nyregion/seneca-lake-guns-drums.html?unlocked_article_code=1.vU8.hjhV.kfNyB5WcMwSr&smid=url-share --- Find out more about Gaby's science fiction short story!
