Welcome to episode 173! With Tad off chasing tumbleweeds out west, I’m holding down the fort with historian and author A.J. Schenkman, who joins me to talk about his book Wicked Ulster County. We’re diving into the wild side of local history—think gangs, thieves, shady characters, and scandalous tales that once rocked the Hudson Valley. Oh, and there’s good news for the Catskills: we break down what the new NYS budget means for the region. History, mischief, and money—what more could you want? Need a sticker?

Welcome to episode 172! Tonight, Tad and I take a trip back in time with filmmaker, comedian, and pop culture historian Ron MacCloskey as he shares vivid and hilarious memories from the golden days of the Borscht Belt. From iconic entertainers to behind-the-scenes stories, Ron brings the Catskills' heyday to life—and proves he’s still very much in step with today’s world. We also cover recent Catskill headlines, including a rescue in Hunter, Leo DuFour’s body being found in the Adirondacks and other local updates around the area. Need a sticker?

Welcome to episode 61 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode, I am joined by retired DEC fish and wildlife technician Pete Nye and tonight, we are chatting about the HUGE role he had in the bald eagle restoration project in the 1970s to the early 2000s. In 1976, bald eagles were on the verge of extinction, especially in New York. There was only ONE nest located in NY. Pete’s hard work and dedication brought that bald eagle population in New York State back to life. We also chat about the Canadian Rockies and a hiker's death on Baldy Mountain.

Welcome to episode 58 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode, I am joined by me and myself and I'm going to chat about the best winter starter hikes that you can do in the Catskills to get you on the right foot for winter.

I am very sorry that you have to listen to almost an hour of me. Tonight's history is about the bald eagle restoration project that started in the late 1970's for New York. Subscribe on any platform!

Welcome to episode 57 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode, I am joined by Henri de la Vega of West Mountain Guiding Company. Henri is one of the 575 registered finishers of the amazing triple crown! The triple crown is when you complete three major long distance trails: the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. These three trails combined equal to a total of over 8,000 miles of hiking! (Henri added the 1,100 mile Florida trail, but that's no big deal) Henri chats with me about some of his experiences while out on these long distance hikes, some of the different gear he used for each section and some crazy encounters he's had with animals while hiking the sections.

Welcome to episode 51 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode, I am joined by Darin White who is going to share his story of his close call on a hike of “the six”. “The six” is a thru-hike where you summit six 3500 peaks: Friday, Balsam Cap, Lone, Rocky, Table and Peekamoose.

Welcome to episode 46 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode I am joined by Catskill legend Dr Michael Kudish and we chat about the great Fenwick Lumber Company located on SW Hunter Mountain. Dr Kudish has dedicated his life to the Catskills, studying the history of the forests, beginning with Vegetation History of the Catskill High Peaks and expanded to include an examination of Catskills soils, climate, ecological personalities of tree species, human disturbance and history and the history recorded in the rings of living and just-fallen trees. The Fenwick Lumber Company was located near the summit of SW Hunter Mountain. A lumber company at that elevation is unusual, which is why Dr Kudish has put time into this study into this company. We also chat about several other lumber companies and a road once located in Mink Hollow between Sugarloaf and Plateau Mountain. Subscribe on any platform! Share! Donate! Do whatever you want!

Welcome to episode 45 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode I am joined by authors and writers Randi Minetor and Stacey Freed. Randi and Stacey just released the book ‘Hiking The Catskills.’ I have read this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe me, it’s tough to convince me to like certain books. They cover hikes all over the Catskills and also break down the hikes with descriptions, distance and difficulty. We also talk about local news, Stacey’s experience when she hiked here and Randi’s books about deaths in national parks! Tonight's history is about bluestone quarries. Subscribe on any platform!

Welcome to episode 39 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! In this episode, I have a great chat with Laurie and Tom Rankin who are, to me, Catskill legends because of the amount of time and effort that they put into our mountains. We chat about their peak experiences in several places like the Catskills, Adirondacks and White mountains as well as the extraordinary effort that they put into the fire towers of not just the Catskills but also New York state. Tom gives some info about his patch that he has put together called Views and Brews. Catskill history is about stone walls and farming in the Catskills. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to episode 38 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! In this episode I have a great chat with local author and long-time hiker Alan Via.

Welcome to episode 37 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! In this episode John and I go over some hiking gems of the Catskills to get you away from those 3500 club hikes that might be overcrowded. We talk about the stunning North South Lake region, Harding Road Trail, Camels Hump from Barnum Road and Bearpen from Heisinger Road. We also chat about the first albums we ever bought and the bald eagles restoration project. Catskills history is about tree lines and logging companies in the Catskills! Thanks for listening!

Welcome to episode 36 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! In this episode, I have a great chat with Martin, the owner of Abandoned Hard Cider located in Woodstock, Red Hook and Kingston. Martin's business has a unique way that they make their delicious cider. As their name implies, they use abandoned apple trees in and around the Catskills for their products. We chat about his business, how it all got started and some of the different places that they have gathered their apples from. We also chat about the 7 year anniversary of prisoners escaping and fleeing to the Adirondacks, Martin's experience with a bear attack and a snippet about Martin's attempt at hiking across America.

Welcome to episode 34 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode I go solo and talk about what, to me, are the hardest and most dangerous hiking sections in the Catskills. Most of these hikes that I talk about are located on trails and are not bushwhacks. Bushwhacks hold their own place for levels of difficulty. I also go over some recent New York DEC new and rescues and also history about the boreal flooring that somewhat shouldn't exist in the Western Catskills. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to episode 33 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! In this episode, John and I go over one of the greatest hiking activities you can do in the Catskills: bushwhacking. Some of my most memorable hikes have been from bushwhacking and we go over basic details of bushwhacking, what you should be carrying and some of our favorite bushwhacks. We also chat about the relocation of a moose, volunteer opportunities and the closing of a firetower cabin for the season. Thanks for listening! Subscribe on any platform! Share! Donate!
