DescriptionMore than 2 million Americans go ice fishing every winter. How can they drive on the ice? Don’t they get cold? How long have people been ice fishing? Maddy and Jennifer didn’t have these answers, but they were eager to learn. The biggest question is whether they want to go ice fishing after learning all these fun facts.CreditsCo-founders of MooseEel Media, LLC: Jennifer Vandenberg& Maddy CableOriginal art: Maddy CableResearch: Jennifer VandenbergScript: Jennifer Vandenberg & Maddy CableEditing: Jennifer VandenbergeEditing software: CanvaMusic: Remember This Moment by Patrick RundbladComment below (with kindness) Email us at [email protected] if you want…Subscribe and like!!!Link to Information Used in SparkIce Making Chart, Fishneticshttps://fishnetics.com/ice-making-chart/ How long does it take for safe ice?, Safe Harbor Fishinghttps://safeharborfishing.com/how-long-does-it-take-for-safe-ice/ Avoid Thin Ice and Use this Chart, The Maine Sportsmanhttps://mainesportsman.com/2016/01/avoid-thin-ice-use-chart/ Best Temperatures For Ice Fishing | Optimal Conditions, Fishing is Blisshttps://fishingisbliss.com/best-temperatures-for-ice-fishing/ Ice Fishing 101: How to Get Started on Hard Water, Field & Streamhttps://fieldandstream.com/stories/fishing/ice-fishing/how-to-start-ice-fishing What Is the Oldest Evidence of Ice Fishing?, History.com https://www.history.com/articles/ice-fishing-oldest-evidence The Fascinating History of Ice Fishing: How Long Has Ice Fishing Been Around?, Anglers Advantage Guide Servicehttps://anglersadvantageguideservice.com/the-fascinating-history-of-ice-fishing-how-long-has-ice-fishing-been-around/

How have we tried to cure fevers and shivers throughout history? Can sufferingfrom these temperatures heal as well as harm?

Jennifer takes a quick dive into the origin story of the podcast A Single Light and its parent company, MooseEel Media.

Maddy and Jennifer share when the podcast will release on Spotify and other streaming channels (Wednesday) and when it will be available on YouTube (Sunday). They also discuss how AI will be used in creating the podcast.

On Maddy's first podcast episode she gives you a short welcome and some sage advice.
