    Linwood's Future: Rhinebeck's Historic Hudson River Compound Up for Sale

    Host Walter Mullen speaks with Rhinebeck reporter Eloise Goldsmith about Linwood, a 51-acre historic compound overlooking the Hudson River. Established as an estate in 1774 and later given to the Sisters of St. Ursula, the property is now for sale via a formal RFP process developed with the Town of Rhinebeck. The discussion covers the site's restrictive HP-20 zoning, the town's openness to variances for the right project, preservation requirements tied to the property's historic designations, and questions about transparency and public input. Proposals are due April 17, with a preferred buyer expected by June and a sale anticipated in July, though any development would likely take years.

    Navigating Memory Loss in Marriage: Part One

    In this episode of The Catch Up, Emily talks with reporter Maggie Baribault to examine the quiet transformation that occurs when memory loss enters a marriage. Through conversations with three couples navigating different stages of dementia and Alzheimer's, we witness how love adapts when the architecture of shared history begins to crumble. These intimate portraits reveal both the weight of caregiving and the surprising moments of connection that persist, small acts of creativity, flashes of recognition, the muscle memory of devotion. What emerges is not a clinical study but a deeply human exploration of what remains when remembering becomes impossible, and how couples forge new ways of being together even as the past slips away.
