We are incredibly excited to announce the launch of our podcast, ADK Talks.
Talking the people and places that make the Adirondacks so wonderful.
ADK Talks brings the stories behind the people, places, and things to do in New York State’s Adirondack Park. With 6 million acres, the Adirondacks are the ultimate playground. We take you beyond the guidebooks and into the heart of one of America's most breathtaking regions.
As we do on this website, our podcast covers the best of the Adirondacks, uncovering hidden gems and sharing our hand-picked recommendations for great places to stay, eat, shop and things to do in the Adirondack Park.
But this isn't just about places. It's about the people who make the Adirondacks so special and unique. In each episode, we talk to people from all walks of life—restauranteurs, farmers, innkeepers, historians, artists, local leaders, writers, hikers, and more.
You’ll hear real stories about what they do, their passions, and how they found their way here. And they'll share their insider tips on the best things to see and do in the Adirondacks – insights you won't find anywhere else.
The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music. So subscribe now to ADK Talks to get real stories from real people, sharing the real Adirondacks. And listen to our episodes, rate and review them!
