Conversations with people who help make the Adirondacks special and unique.

We are passionate about sharing the things that bring us joy in the Adirondacks. This includes pieces of history and things that help everyone appreciate the fantastic, extraordinary, and lovely aspects of this beautiful region in upstate New York.

That’s why we’re so excited to bring you our podcast, ADK Talks. We share the stories behind the people, places, and things to do in New York State’s Adirondack Park.
