Listen to the podcast here: https://feeds.podetize.com/i90bSLuvs.mp3

Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/hTX-jv0-WaI




Some folks would say that Mowglis is in the DNA of the Popinchalk family. 

Mark Popinchalk came to Mowglis as a member of the staff in 2011 and while also working his way through a degree in astrophysics, he returned for two additional summers.

Growing up as a boy of the world, living in many different countries where his dad, Michael - also a former member of the Mowglis staff - was teaching and serving as administrator in numerous American schools throughout the world.

Today, Mark Popinchalk is not just a Mowglis Man of the world, he is a Mowglis man of the Universe from his perch at New York's famed Hayden Planetarium.

Whether it's introducing elementary school children to the wonders of the universe or sharing the secrets of Mar's moons on TikTok, or reveling in the fun April fools "papers" that some of his colleagues create for April 1 publication, Mark points to his Mowglis experience as the source of his love for teaching.


Check out his very cool summaries of new astronomic papers called Astrobites!

https://mowglismemories.blogspot.com/2024/05/episode-110-celebrating-decade-under.html




The job of Director at Camp Mowglis is never easy. It takes a special person to assure the safety and happiness of more than 100 campers and staff for the entire summer.

Ten years ago, after an 18 month national search Mowglis struck gold when it hired Nick Robbins and got, as a bonus, his amazing wife and partner Diana. 

Nick Robbins has been at the helm at Mowglis now for a decade and what a decade it has been! When Nick began his tenure Mowglis had fewer than half the campers considered to constitute a full camp, today Mowglis is looking full and robust heading into the 2024 summer.


In this episode, Nick shares the road that led him to Mowglis and the journey since then that has led Mowglis back to its rightful place as one of the premier summer camps in the US.

Special Report: Remembering Marty Engstrom with Mowglis Brother and Retiring Journalist Steve Minich of WMTW TV

Remembering Mount Washington Icon Marty Engstrom with Mowglis Brother and Retiring Journalist Steve Minich of WMTW TV

Listen here: https://feeds.podetize.com/ep/Ohr9UZlBO/media

It's not too much of a reach to describe the three states of the Northeast that were the ancestral home of my forebears in the Wabanaki Nation as an informal confederacy still, now composed of an even more diverse populace. But today, we don't look back to precolonial times or colonial times but to the more recent past.  

To those who's memories extend back into the 1950s and 60s you will remember a time long before smart phones and computers - the days when television was a new phenomenon when the evening news was broadcast from towers and transmitters in long archs, crossing the land and covering major swaths of all three states. 

This year witnessed the passing of one icon of the early days of broadcasting, Marty Engstrom, whose residence in Fryeburg, Maine was but one place that he planted his flag but not the one for which he will be most remembered. That local was at 6,288 feet above sea level inside and outside of the Mount Washington Weather observatory atop New England's highest peak Mount Washington, known as Agiocochook by the Abenaki people.

The Smile that Charmed Northern New England
Marty Engstrom ended his weather forecast every night except his very first this way.

Though his nightly weather forecast from the top of Mount Washington was rarely more than one minute long, it was a minute that charmed the folks of the tri-state region to the extent that today, more than 20 years since his retirement, he is remembered with such fondness. Marty was, for all intents and purposes, our very first rock star. 

When the Madison Avenue folks told WMTW that they needed to take that "hick" who did the weather forecast off the air, and they tried, the blowback from the public had them reversing their decision in less than a few weeks. Marty had captured our hearts with that goofy smile and a genuine spirit of good will and humility.

When my mom booked him to speak at the annual dinner of the Campton/Thornton Women's Club back in the mid 60s, they sold so many tickets that the event was transitioned to a standing-room-only affair, with groupies of every age and gender. Long after his retirement, demand for Marty and his slide show remained strong.

Through many of those years a once-wet-behind-the-ears journalist named Steve Minich who had moved to Maine from Florida, where he had cut his teeth on sports reporting beginning at only 17, regularly found himself reporting on Marty and becoming friends with him, even as his own star ascended in the television media landscape.

Now retired himself, Steve Minich reflects on his memories of Marty and speculates a bit on his own future with Wayne King an eager fan of both men.
