| 4/27/26 | Protecting Adirondack Loons: The Science, the Threats, and the Hope | Loons are one of the defining sounds of an Adirondack summer, but protecting them takes far more than admiration from afar.

| 4/6/26 | Adirondack True Crime, Part Two: Ghosts of the Herkimer Jail | In part two of our conversation with the Adirondack Park Paranormal Society, we move from Big Moose Lake to the old Herkimer County Jail, where Chester Gillette awaited trial after the 1906 murder of Grace Brown. APPS shares what they experienced inside the jail, how they approached the investigation, and why they believe some of the building’s most infamous former inmates may still make their presence known. The conversation goes well beyond ghost stories. The team reflects on the energy t... | 49m 19s | ||||||
| 3/30/26 | Adirondack True Crime: The Murder at Big Moose Lake | More than a century ago, a quiet Adirondack lake became the setting for one of the most infamous true crime stories in American history. In this episode of ADK Talks, we dive into the tragic case of Chester Gillette and Grace Brown—a story of ambition, deception, love, and murder that unfolded at Big Moose Lake in the early 1900s.

| 3/16/26 | From Sap to Syrup: Inside Adirondack Maple Season with Toad Hill Farm | For many Adirondack families, maple syrup is simply part of life. It’s on the breakfast table, in the kitchen, and woven into generations of seasonal tradition but behind every bottle of pure maple syrup is a remarkable blend of forestry, science, craftsmanship, and patience. In this episode of ADK Talks, we head to Thurman, New York to visit with Randy Galusha, owner of Toad Hill Maple Farm. Randy shares how a childhood experiment with a few buckets and spouts grew into one of the region’s p... | 45m 17s | ||||||
| 3/2/26 | Breaking Trail: Women Who Shaped the Adirondacks (Revisited) | In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re revisiting a conversation that still resonates: our interview with Peggy Lynn and Sandra Weber, co-authors of Breaking Trail: Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks. For generations, Adirondack history has centered on guides, industrialists, conservationists, and explorers — most of them men. But women were here all along. They were lumber camp cooks and lobbyists, poets and reformers, business leaders and environmental advocates. They shaped communities,... | 30m 21s | ||||||

| 2/9/26 | Healing the World from the Adirondacks: Dr. Trudeau and the Saranac Laboratory - Amy Catania | In this episode of ADK Talks, we step inside one of the most important scientific sites you’ve probably never heard of: the tuberculosis laboratory that helped put Saranac Lake on the global medical map.

| 1/19/26 | Cold Hard Magic: Inside the Making of The Sagamore’s Glacier Ice Bar - Tom Guay | Winter at The Sagamore Resort is anything but quiet. Each January, the lakeside terrace transforms into a frozen spectacle where 300-pound blocks of ice, chainsaws, blowtorches, and a lot of muscle come together as one of the Adirondacks’ most anticipated winter traditions: the Glacier Ice Bar. In this episode of ADK Talks, we’re joined by Tom Guay, General Manager of The Sagamore, whose career at the resort spans more than two decades and nearly every corner of hotel operations. Tom takes ... | 29m 45s | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | Second Acts in the Mountains: Inside NewVida Preserve’s Bold Revival | Rick Vidal left global boardrooms for a forgotten ski mountain and found something much bigger than a renovation project. In this episode of ADK Talks, we head to Jay, New York, to explore the remarkable reinvention of the former Pale Face Ski Area, now reborn as NewVida Preserve. Rick shares the deeply personal story behind buying a long-closed resort, reopening land that had been private for decades, and rebuilding not just buildings, but trust and community.

| 1/5/26 | Cold, Wet, and Unprepared: What Really Happens When Winter Hikers Underestimate the Adirondacks | Winter in the Adirondacks can feel otherworldly. Snow-draped trees, hushed trails, bluebird summit days, and the kind of stillness that only comes when the temperature drops. It can also turn dangerous fast. In this episode of ADK Talks, we welcome back Jeff Berry and Elena Lumby from Search and Rescue of the Northern Adirondacks (SARNAK) for an honest, practical, and sometimes chilling conversation about the realities of winter hiking. From hypothermia and headlamp failures to summit fever... | 1h 01m 34s | ||||||

Jane and Steve head west of the Blue Line to the Tug Hill Plateau—one of the snowiest corners of the East—and sit down with Snow Ridge co-owner and general manager Nick Mir to talk powder mornings, small-mountain grit, and why “Ice Coast” doesn’t always apply.

| 12/22/25 | Inside Nettle Meadow: Adirondack Cheesemaking, Passion, and the Hitching Post Tavern | A woman walks away from toxic-tort law in Oakland, loads four Nigerian dwarf goats into a Honda Element, and drives 3,000 miles with her partner to a scruffy little farm in Thurman, NY. Two decades later, that leap of faith has become Nettle Meadow: a sanctuary for hundreds of animals and the home of Kunik, one of the most celebrated cheeses in America. In this episode, we sit down with Sheila Flanagan, CEO and co-founder of Nettle Meadow, to trace the journey from collapsing barns an... | 55m 34s | ||||||
| 12/15/25 | Education in the Wild: How Paul Smith’s College Shapes Climate Resilience, Careers, and the Future of the Adirondacks | Where else can your morning class involve snowshoes, your lab take place in a 100-year-old white pine stand, and your campus stretch across 14,000 acres of Adirondack wilderness? Paul Smith’s College is a place where learning happens in the field — sometimes literally — and that’s precisely why we love it. This week on ADK Talks, we head to the shores of Lower St. Regis Lake with Dr. Brett McLeod, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Natural Resources, to explore what makes Paul Smith’s unlike ... | 47m 54s | ||||||
