Pastor Scott Harris reflects on his final season at North Shore by reminding the church that God alone is in control and that the heart of the Christian life is deeply knowing and loving Jesus. Through John 17, John 10, and the documentary *Godspeed*, he challenges believers to reject shallow, fast-paced Christianity and instead embrace slow, relational discipleship where people are truly known, loved, and present with one another. Elder Dave Wallace closes by encouraging the church to grow in “place, presence, pace, and stability,” calling believers to live faithfully in authentic community as they walk with Christ and serve others over the long haul. #Godspeed #KnowJesus #ChristianCommunity #WalkByFaith #RelationalDiscipleship

In this of Sauna Talk, Glenn Auerbach is joined bench-side by Josh Leddy of Get Sweaty with Leddy and sauna builder Leif Kjorness of Excelsior Saunas for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation recorded after multiple sauna and cold plunge rounds on Lake Ann in Minnesota.  What unfolds is more than a discussion about sauna. It's a conversation about craftsmanship, friendship, healing, community, and the ways sauna culture continues to evolve while still holding onto its roots. Josh shares how his lifelong connection to sauna eventually inspired him to launch Get Sweaty with Leddy, a YouTube channel and podcast focused on natural healing, pain management, and meaningful conversations that happen best on the sauna bench. He talks about his upcoming mobile sauna project, his vision for creating immersive wellness gatherings through movement and music, and why sauna creates a unique environment where people can truly connect without barriers. Leif reflects on his journey from custom home building into the sauna world, and how building saunas became more than construction work — it became a calling. He discusses craftsmanship, quality building principles, the importance of slowing life down, and the fulfillment that comes from creating spaces where people gather, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and each other. The conversation also dives into the details behind the "party sauna" concept, including large panoramic windows, skylights, thoughtful ventilation, and building mobile saunas designed to foster memorable shared experiences. Throughout the episode, Glenn shares stories from the early days of SaunaTimes, the origins of Sauna Days on the North Shore of Lake Superior, and his own formative sauna experiences hitchhiking through Finland and Sweden as a young traveler. Together, the three discuss the rise of mobile sauna culture in Minnesota, the power of hot-cold contrast therapy, the difference between manufactured cold plunges and natural bodies of water, and the emotional reset that happens when people gather around heat, steam, cold water, and conversation. There are moments of humor, reflection, and philosophy woven throughout — from stories about cutting fresh ice holes by hand to discussions about social media fatigue, authentic community building, and the importance of finding your own operating system for life. Glenn closes by sharing the personal framework that grounds him today: Freedom, Enoughness, Nature, and Simplicity. This episode captures what sauna culture is really about at its best: generosity, vulnerability, camaraderie, and the simple but profound experience of being fully present together. Topics discussed include: Mobile sauna culture Sauna building and craftsmanship Sauna Days and grassroots sauna community Cold plunging and winter swimming Natural healing and pain management Lake Superior sauna culture Music, movement, and sauna gatherings The mental and physical benefits of contrast therapy Friendship, reflection, and slowing down The future of sauna culture in America Guests: Josh Leddy — Get Sweaty with Leddy Leaf Kjorness — Excelsior Saunas

Season 15 of The Temple of Surf Podcast begins with an extraordinary episode featuring legendary surf photographer Patrick Eichstaedt, known around the world simply as Tupat. For decades, Tupat has been one of the key visual storytellers of surf culture, documenting some of the most iconic moments and personalities ever seen in the sport. From his early years growing up in Florida to eventually finding himself immersed in the powerful and unforgiving energy of Hawaii's North Shore, Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt witnessed surfing history unfold directly through his lens. In this exclusive opening episode of Season 15, we explore Tupat's personal journey into surf photography, the evolution of surf culture through the decades, and the unforgettable experiences he lived while documenting one of the most influential eras in modern surfing history, the rise of Andy Irons, Bruce Irons and Sunny Garcia on Hawaii's legendary North Shore. This was not simply competitive surfing. This was a cultural movement. The North Shore during those years represented intensity, progression, raw power and authenticity. Pipeline, Backdoor, Sunset Beach and Waimea became the stage where some of the most fearless surfers on Earth pushed the limits of what was possible in heavy waves. Tupat was there for all of it, capturing moments that today are part of surfing mythology. Throughout the episode, Tupat shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories from life on the North Shore, discussing the atmosphere in Hawaii during that generation and the personalities that shaped the sport forever. His photographs helped define the visual identity of surfing during a transformative period, appearing in magazines, editorial projects and surf media around the world. What makes this episode even more special is that Tupat personally allowed The Temple of Surf Podcast to feature rare and unique archival video materials directly on our YouTube channel. These are authentic historical moments from one of surfing's most important eras, offering viewers an opportunity to experience the energy and emotion of the North Shore in a way that few people ever could. For surf fans, historians, photographers and lovers of ocean culture, this episode is a true journey through time. Beyond the famous names and legendary waves, Tupat speaks about the human side of surf culture, friendship, risk, creativity, respect for the ocean and the deep connection between photographers and surfers in the water. We also discuss how surf photography has evolved over the years, from film cameras and water housings to the digital era and social media explosion. Tupat reflects on what has been gained and what may have been lost in modern surf culture, while reminding us why authentic storytelling and real moments still matter today. This conversation captures the soul of surfing: early mornings on the North Shore, massive winter swells, the tension in the lineup at Pipeline, the dedication required to document dangerous waves, and the passion that drives surfers and photographers alike to keep chasing unforgettable moments in the ocean. If you are passionate about surf history, Hawaiian surf culture, legendary photographers, vintage North Shore energy and the generation that changed surfing forever, this episode is absolutely not to be missed.

What does 1692 have to do with 1775? More than you might think.The families of 1692 did not vanish from history. One to two generations after the Salem witch trials, descendants of both the accused and the accusers were drilling on village training fields, defying British soldiers, and dying on the same battlefields. Israel Putnam, one of the Revolution's boldest generals, was born in Salem Village, raised in a family at the center of 1692, and though he moved to Connecticut, he answered the call when Massachusetts needed him most.From Leslie's Retreat in Salem to the Battle of Menotomy, Bunker Hill, the siege of Boston, Long Island, and Saratoga, the men of Essex County were present from the first confrontation to the wider war. And Benjamin Franklin's tie to the Salem witch trials runs closer than most people know.This episode connects two of American history's most significant chapters and asks: what did the witch trial era leave behind, and how did it shape the people who built this country?Danvers and Salem historian Dan Gagnon, author of A Salem Witch: A Biography of Rebecca Nurse, returns to The Thing About Witch Hunts to tell stories of the North Shore's role in the American Revolution as part of America 250. From a standoff at a toll bridge to the bloodiest stretch of road on Patriots Day 1775, the story of Essex County and the Lexington Alarm is one most Americans were never taught.Hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack trace the thread from the Salem witch trials through Lexington and Concord, from the Rebecca Nurse Homestead to the halls of the Continental Congress, and from the accused of 1692 to the soldiers of 1775.What You Will Learn:The through-line between 1692 and 1775 that changes how you understand bothWhy Leslie's Retreat in Salem months before Lexington and Concord matters more than you have been toldWhat happened when Salem witch trial family names started showing up on revolutionary muster rollsIsrael Putnam: the founding-era general with Salem Village roots whose story was nearly erased from history, and whyA founding father with a direct family tie to the Salem witch trials, and what that connection revealsWhat one brutal day at the Battle of Menotomy cost a single Massachusetts town, and why they brought their dead homeWhat you can see at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead today that quietly holds the story of two centuriesDan Gagnon leads walking tours in Danvers and the Rebecca Nurse Homestead is open seasonally. #AmericanRevolution #America250 #IsraelPutnam #LesliesRetreat #BattleOfMemotomy #BattleOfBunkerHill #SiegeOfBoston #LexingtonAndConcord #LexingtonAlarm #PatriotsDay1775 #BattleOfLongIsland #FrenchAndIndianWar #BostonTeaParty #GeneralGage #GeorgeWashington #BenjaminFranklin #RebeccaNurse #RebeccaNurseHomestead #DanversAlarmList #Minutemen #ContinentalCongress #CoerciveActs #Marblehead #Menotomy #Arlington #EssexCounty #NorthShore #ColonialHistory #AmericanHistory #FoundingFathers #RevolutionaryWarLinks Rebecca Nurse Homestead: rebeccanurse.orgA Salem Witch: A Biography of Rebecca Nurse by Dan Gagnon: www.bookshop.org/Shop/endwitchhuntsEnd Witch Hunts endwitchhunts.orgAbout Witch Hunts aboutwitchhunts.comSalem Witch Trials History YouTube: https://youtube.com/@aboutwitchhunts

Click here to send a message. We love to hear from our listeners! Send us a text message and share your feedback Lake Superior is not just cold, it's demanding. The weather can turn fast, the waves hit differently than the ocean, and a shipwreck that felt “familiar” a decade ago may have collapsed into something sharp, dark, and dangerous today. We sit down with Stephen B. Daniel, an accomplished diver, author, illustrator, photographer, and maritime expert who has logged 530+ dives and brought countless wrecks to the surface through detailed underwater sketches and diver-friendly maps. We get practical about Lake Superior scuba diving safety: how Stephen plans a wreck dive, why dry suit layering matters, what good buoyancy control protects, and how depth changes everything from bottom time to decompression risk. He shares stories from standout dives like the SS America and describes what makes a wreck beautiful and what makes it a trap when storms shift structure and visibility drops. Then we zoom out to shipwreck preservation and Great Lakes maritime history. Stephen explains the difference between documented and undocumented wrecks, why laws like the Abandoned Shipwreck Act exist, and why “take pictures, leave bubbles” is more than a slogan. We also explore underwater photogrammetry and 3D shipwreck models that let non-divers experience these sites, track how wrecks change over time, and protect the past without removing it from the lake. If you care about shipwreck diving, boating safety, or the hidden history off Lake Superior's North Shore, this conversation will stick with you.

In this replay episode, Margo is joined by multi-passionate creative Kim Bloomberg, the joyful force behind Studio Art Beat. A fine artist, educator, and self-proclaimed art supply nerd, Kim brings a refreshing perspective to the creative journey—one that's less about staying in your lane and more about following curiosity wherever it leads. With a background in both fine art and education, over two decades of teaching experience, and years running her own jewelry business, Kim shares how she ultimately found fulfillment by embracing her ADHD-fueled love for switching mediums and diving headfirst into new materials. After leaving behind the New York hustle for the artistic charm of Chicago's North Shore, Kim launched Studio Art Beat as an inclusive space to demystify art and make creativity accessible to all ages. She now leads workshops, partners with brands like Gelli Arts, and teaches online courses—including one that brings rhinestone bedazzling to the masses. Through her story, Kim reminds us that freedom, play, and experimentation are not distractions—they're the path. Margo and Kim discuss: Growing up in an art-loving family and the creative influence of her parents and grandfather. Letting go of a long-term jewelry business and the guilt that came with that decision. How embracing her neurodivergent brain led to business clarity and personal joy. Turning her natural desire to switch mediums into a strength rather than a struggle. Building an online art education platform that's welcoming, inclusive, and non-intimidating. Why sharing her process openly (rather than gatekeeping) has helped her business grow. Collaborating with brands while maintaining authenticity and community connection. The value of playful creativity for both kids and adults—and why it's never too late to start. How she's made rhinestones cool again with her Cricut-powered online course. The beauty in allowing your creative identity to evolve—and giving others permission to do the same.

The projections are currently showing that Pittsburgh lost money from NFL Draft weekend, per reports. It seemed like everything went over with rave reviews from outsiders, but that didn't tell the full story. A lot of local businesses shared that they did not get anywhere near the crowds they anticipated. What was it like outside of the North Shore bubble? Was it the case of a lot of cities being within a day-trip driving distance to Pittsburgh? The hotel business reportedly got hit big time last weekend. Other cities have seen big returns in previous years of hosting the draft.

The projections are currently showing that Pittsburgh lost money from NFL Draft weekend, per reports. It seemed like everything went over with rave reviews from outsiders, but that didn't tell the full story. A lot of local businesses shared that they did not get anywhere near the crowds they anticipated. What was it like outside of the North Shore bubble? Was it the case of a lot of cities being within a day-trip driving distance to Pittsburgh? The hotel business reportedly got hit big time last weekend. Other cities have seen big returns in previous years of hosting the draft. How did fans feel about the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh? Good? Bad? Reviews were mostly positive. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike joked with Poni about quitting on Monday. Mike described the newest move between the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers as a ‘swing & a miss.' What does it mean? Mike said it's mostly so Rodgers can't wait around and latch onto a team that loses its QB in the middle of the season, like we saw with Phillip Rivers last season. Mike said the whole thing doesn't make sense. Mike believes this is an indication that the Steelers don't really know if Rodgers is coming back. Mike said the Steelers are still in a tough spot because their plan at QB mostly stinks. We rekindled the Rodgers to the Broncos conversation because on the same day the Steelers made this chess move, the Broncos announced that Bo Nix needs another surgery on his ankle. Is Mike Vrabel really going to resign from the Patriots and could Mike Tomlin be his replacement? Mike reminded us that the Patriots would need to talk to the Steelers before they speak with him about the hypothetical head coach vacancy. Mike doesn't think the Steelers will get in any trouble for the Makai Lemon debacle on draft night. Mike isn't surprised by Pittsburgh losing money during draft weekend and said it's not likely that other cities make all that much in the end.

The daughter of an American father and a Japanese mother, Shirley Rogers was born in Japan in 1953. She spent her first nine years there, then a few years in Texas. At 16, she moved with her parents to Oahu. At Campbell High School on the Westside, she took photography classes and found a passion for it. She also found surfing—the act of riding waves, the culture, and the community. In 1971, her parents moved back to Texas. Having freshly graduated, Rogers chose to stay in Hawaii. She moved to the then rural and untapped North Shore and fell in with the surf luminaries of the era—Jeff Hakman, Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell, Eddie Rothman, Shaun Tomson, and Peter Townend, among many others. One day at Waimea Bay, filmmakers Jack McCoy and Dick Hoole handed Shirley a 650 Century lens and a tripod and told her to, essentially, "have at it." She was amazed by what she saw through that telephoto lens. These were the days before auto-focus, and it was a true challenge to follow the surfer and nail the shot, but Rogers was a quick study. She submitted her photos to Surfer, Surfing, and Tracks magazines. They ran them. Soon she was getting paid for her work. There were few female surf photographers on the 1970s and '80s North Shore. Rogers gained a reputation for her tight, sharp, well-composed images, typically shot from the beach. Her portraiture emitted a candid and all-access quality—she was merely shooting her pals, who also happened to be the most sought-after surf stars of the time. She traveled—to Indonesia, Australia, Tahiti. She photographed the nascent women's pro events. She moonlighted as a bartender at the Kuilima, today known as the Turtle Bay Resort. In her spare time, she rode dirt bikes. In the late 1980s, Shirley gave up surf photography, got a sales job, and moved from the North Shore to Honolulu. Now 72, Rogers lives in Huntington Beach. In this episode of Soundings, Rogers talks with Jamie Brisick about changes on the North Shore, capturing waves less trodden, surfing's commercialization, her favorite spots to shoot, and tiger tracks in Indonesia.  Presented by Rainbow® Sandals.

What does it actually take to build a pitch competition that changes lives and keeps founders in their hometown? In this episode, Molly King, VP of Clients at Economic Impact Catalyst, sits down with Cenzo Caronna and Shivang Thakor of STartUP Northshore to pull back the curtain on the Inspire Startup Slam, one of the Gulf South's largest pitch competitions, running out of a 100-year-old theater in Hammond, Louisiana.Cenzo and Shiv share how they've built a $100K prize ecosystem (combining $50K in non-dilutive grant cash with in-kind services) serving a three-parish rural region north of New Orleans, and why the event they designed for "the person who got dragged there" has become the cornerstone of their startup ecosystem.In this episode:How STartUP Northshore came together across St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington Parishes, and why trust-building in rural communities requires a boots-on-the-ground, not broadcast, approachThe full founder journey: from the ID Institute 12-week accelerator → Launchpad ($5K competition) → Inspire Startup Slam ($50K)Why they scrapped winner-take-all after year one and what they changedThe six judging criteria, including one most competitions miss: commitment to and potential impact for the North ShoreHow they built a $100K prize pool starting with their own money, a Chevron partnership, and a cold call from Capital OneThe pro tip that saved them $28,000 (hint: book a theater, not a conference room)Why in-kind services like accountants, marketing firms, and coworking space may matter more than the cash prizeLeading vs. lagging indicators: why business formation is a "vanity metric" and what STartUP Northshore actually tracksPractical advice for other program managers: expect the unexpected, do non-scalable things, and text your foundersThis year's winner didn't make the finals the previous year. He kept building with STartUP Northshore's support and came back to win the whole thing.Guests:Cenzo Caronna, Executive Director, STartUP NorthshoreShivang Thakor, Program Manager, STartUP NorthshoreHost: Molly King, VP of Clients, Economic Impact Catalyst

For this episode Katie and Zondra take to the wilds, sort of. They take the show on the road to the Global Wildlife Center in Folsom to speak with Director Christina Cooper about all the new things happening at one of the Northshore's most cherished institutions, and why guests return again and again. 

Todays episode of the Stoked Bloke SHow we have famed Ocean Photographer Clark Little on the show. Known for his incredible Shorebreak photography Barton and Clark talk about his roots, rise to fame, love of plumerias and remember Clark's older brother Brock Little (the North Shore big wave veteran and stunt man) Brought to you from the A New Earth Project Studio at Pipeline in Hawaii. Enjoy

Today we've got Bethany Andres-Beck, a DSA member who is running for Congress in the 6th District of Massachusetts, on to discuss why that state and the House of Representatives could use a nonbinary trans socialist with a lot of coding experience. Enjoy!

A new documentary premiering at the Independent Film Festival Boston tells the story of a North Shore musical friendship 50 years in the making. Mason Daring and Jeanie Stahl made names for themselves in the golden era of Cambridge's coffee house music scene.

So, how many people are we going to see on the North Shore this weekend? Is the NFL Draft too much of a made-for-TV event? Are locals afraid of the crowds? All of the polls show that most people don't want to go if they already live in Pittsburgh. Are locals turned off by big events in the city? Or is the NFL Draft just too much? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. The guys had to get Mike's reaction to NBC making it official with Mike Tomlin, as he's set to join the SNF coverage. Mike has long been annoyed by Aaron Rodgers, but it's more embarrassing on the Steelers as he continues to dictate terms. Mike doesn't really understand why Rodgers even wants to come back. How much better will the team be under Mike McCarthy than they were under Tomlin? Mike's sources have told him that Rodgers doesn't like that there is all this talk about him, allegedly. Mike doesn't rule out Rodgers coming back midseason if a team needs a QB. Mike also pointed out that the Phil Rivers situation was very rare. Mike has no idea what's going to happen in the NFL Draft and he's not surprised by how many pundits are all over the place. Mike hates doing mock drafts and admitted to making someone else do it. What's going to happen with the QBs in this class?

So, how many people are we going to see on the North Shore this weekend? Is the NFL Draft too much of a made-for-TV event? Are locals afraid of the crowds? All of the polls show that most people don't want to go if they already live in Pittsburgh.

Some connections defy explanation. They arrive on a random Tuesday afternoon through a phone scroll, a face you haven't seen in decades, a name that pulls you back to childhood hallways — and suddenly, the universe has done the thing it sometimes does, folding time neatly in half. That is exactly how host Olivia Howell found herself reconnecting with Zahra Tangorra, an old schoolmate from the North Shore of Long Island who had gone on to become one of New York City's most celebrated culinary voices. But this episode isn't just a reunion story. It's the story of a woman who survived a 40-foot cliff, rebuilt herself from the wreckage, fed a city through a pandemic, and then sat down to write the memoir she was always meant to write.Zahra's debut culinary memoir, Extra Sauce: The Good, The Bad, and The Onions, is the kind of book that reads like a conversation with someone who has seen the full spectrum of life and decided, against all odds, to lean into it. Part love letter to food, part reckoning with family, grief, identity, and starting over, Extra Sauce traces Zahra's unlikely path from a directionless 22-year-old on a cross-country tour bus to a restaurateur, chef, and writer who has spent her career asking one essential question: what happens when we stop accepting less? The memoir is as much about the restaurant she opened with her accident settlement money as it is about the father she lost, the long-lost brother she discovered, and the community she spent a lifetime trying to create — because growing up as an only child of divorced parents had left her hungry for something far more nourishing than food alone.What makes this conversation so deeply resonant for anyone navigating a life transition is the philosophy at the heart of Zahra's book: that in a world constantly asking us to shrink — fewer rights, fewer people, less room in our hearts — the most radical act is to ask for more. More joy. More messiness. More extra sauce. Zahra wrote this book for the people who feel the longing for connection, who are carrying grief they don't know how to name, who are rebuilding their lives one small act of courage at a time. Her warmth, wit, and honesty make this episode feel less like an interview and more like the very thing Zahra herself has always been building: a table big enough for everyone.

HNN Investigates has learned the Lieutenant Governor hired a former Hawaii attorney general to represent her campaign amid the investigation by the current attorney general's office. The pilot of a helicopter that crashed on Kauai's North Shore told federal investigators the aircraft experienced "high frequency vibrations" before it spun out of control. And police are looking for a suspect after a 43-year-old man was stabbed on Ala Moana Boulevard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NFL Draft is taking over Pittsburgh, and even if you're not a football fan, there's still probably something up your alley. We've got concerts, brunches, happy hours, block parties, and so many more activities, and there's even plenty to do beyond Downtown and the North Shore. To help you navigate it all, content creator Brenasia Ward-Caldwell created the Pittsburgh Draft Week Guide. Brenasia tells host Megan Harris which events she's looking forward to the most, what's free to enter, and what she hopes visitors will take away from the big weekend.

The Michelin Guide is coming to Pittsburgh! The timing is kind of hilarious, since we just did an episode about why our city doesn't have — or need – Michelin star restaurants. Host Megan Harris and City Cast contributors Colin Williams and Hal B. Klein chat about this development, laugh about our clairvoyant conversation, and share which restaurants they think might (or might not) get a star. Plus, executive producer Mallory Falk joins to discuss a Washington Post editorial chiding Pittsburgh Public Schools for going remote during the NFL Draft. The team also gets into concerns about how our unhoused community might get treated during the draft, PA's first underground state park, and more bad news for Pittsburgh's brewery scene. Then, in a members-only fourth segment, we unpack a juicy profile of the Block brothers and share the latest gossip about the future of the Post-Gazette. Come celebrate Pittsburgh with us on 412 Day! We'll be at Southern Tier Brewing on the North Shore on Sunday, April 12 from 11am-2pm. Find all the details about the free event and RSVP here. We'll be cheering on everything we love about our city.
