    The Lake: Sound & Nutrients

    Aquatic ecologist Catherine O'Reilly is the guest on this episode. She lives in Duluth, MN and is the Director of the Large Lakes Observatory at the University of Minnesota Duluth. One of her conference presentations was titled, "Is there a party in the stream tonight..." and she found that underwater sound varies depending on lunar timing.  When we recorded this episode, it was very smoky outside as wildfires had started near Ely, MN. The book Brenna read from is called Theory of Water by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson.  Sound clip at the end provided by Dr. O'Reilly. You'll hear water striders rubbing their legs on their back, as she describes in the podcast episode.  Learn more about deep water sculpin here and see a video of them. They are in the freeze category of flight or fight and they prefer to keep their bellies on rocks.  Episode photo: Lake Superior/B Greenfield, 7/18/26 Send us Fan Mail

    The Lake: Park Point Anishinaabeg

    In Episode 4, I converse with Cory Coffman. Cory Coffman is a 1st-generation Fond du Lac Band of Ojibwe descendant. If you like music you can check out his music here or perhaps stumble upon him floating on a human-constructed lilypad in Lake Superior jamming out? (If you're lucky.) This episode is about the G-BOAT (greatest beach of all time...at least in an 100-mile perimeter) and what it's like to live on the G-BOAT and have historical roots there, too.  Recommended reading: Gichigami hearts Linda LeGarde Grover Buy it here: https://birchbarkbooks.com/products/gichigami-hearts photo of park point by B Greenfield, 7/1/23 Send us Fan Mail
