  • Maine’s New Plug-in Solar Law
    Apr 16 2026

    A new Maine law will allow residents to install compact plug-in solar panels in their home or apartment with the help of a qualified electrician. Plug-in solar opens the door for every Mainer, regardless of their income or housing type, to take steps toward energy independence without unnecessary utility barriers. In this episode, Colin speaks with Beth Woolfolk of the local climate action group A Climate to Thrive who was a driving force behind passage of this exciting new affordable clean energy solution.

  • Amazing Atlantic Salmon
    Mar 26 2026

    Spring marks one of the truly remarkable feats of nature we get to experience in Maine: the annual return of sea-run fish to our rivers and streams. One of the most iconic species is Atlantic salmon, an endangered fish with a long history and connection to our land and the Wabanaki Nations who have stewarded these places for time immemorial. In this episode, Colin speaks with state fisheries biologist Jennifer Noll about the heroic collaborative efforts to restore Atlantic salmon in Maine.
