North Words: On Life and Work

This month on North Words, a former wildland firefighter from Saranac Lake talks with us about the 75th anniversary of a transformative and tragic wildfire that cost the lives of 13 smokejumpers. Later, how Donna Stoner went from working at Syracuse-area hospitals to a post-retirement life filled with art. And a chat with Liz Moore about her new book set in the North Country; “The God of the Woods” has received rave reviews and ended up on the summer list of former President Barack Obama. From North Creek to South Colton, from Old Forge to New Bremen, North Words host Mitch Teich brings you interviews, on-site recordings, and special features that remind us what makes the North Country region so special. WCNY Community FM is pleased to present this monthly show from our colleagues at North Country Public Radio.
