Northeast Notebook 9/29/26: Cornell rape case, Mechanicville poisonings, and pinball (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our show today is once again shortened due to the WAMC fund drive. First, we dive into the local journalism angle of the recently reopened sexual assault investigation against seven fraternity members at Cornell University. The story hit international headlines thanks to diligent reporting by students at Cornell's newspaper and may already be shaping the next election cycle. Then, Aaron Shellow-Lavine deepens his reporting on the tragic deaths of four children in Mechanicville, who police say we
Northeast Notebook 9-28-26: E-bikes, homelessness, and racism in the cannabis industry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thanks to the WAMC fund drive, today's edition of Northeast Notebook is briefer than usual. But fear not! It is still packed with our signature blend of insights, stories, and unexpected audio ephemera. To whit: Berkshire Eagle reporter Izzy Bryars, and her uncanny impression of an e-bike motor. And speaking of the unexpected: over the weekend, Northeast Notebook executive producer Lucas Willard unwittingly became a background character in a headline-grabbing story about systemic racism and econ

Read excerpt
Co-host Aaron Shellow-Lavine wore yellow socks today, and thinks we should all consider the wisdom of giving your ankles a pop of color, particularly on stressful days. Speaking of stress: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing narrowing polls in her re-election bid against Nassau County Republican Bruce Blakeman. How worried should she be? And how much will President Trump's latest friendly-ish press conference with New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani complicate Blakeman's prospects? On today's de
How a tragic incident underscores mental health challenges facing first responders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The recent murder-suicide of two Ulster County first responders casts a spotlight on the mental health of people who risk their lives to save others. Mindy Brugger's sister and daughter spoke to WAMC's Sam Dingman about the woman they loved. We also spoke to the Ulster County sheriff about a new wellness unit created to support them. This is WAMC's Northeast Notebook. I'm Sam Dingman. The recent murder-suicide of two Ulster County first responders casts a spotlight on the mental health of people
