Episode 702 - Laking A Name For Yourself
<p>Where did the name the “Finger Lakes” come from? Their shape may resemble fingers – but could there be more to it than that? Through an exploration of indigenous and settler history, this episode aims to answer this question. In our conversations with local storytellers, researchers, and teachers, we investigate why place names hold so much significance. We discuss why it’s important that we remember the stories behind these names, and learn about the actions being taken to preserve the history of the Finger Lakes. </p><p><br></p><p>This episode was produced by:</p><p>Producer - Emma Loiacono</p><p>Lead Researcher - Caden Cohan </p><p>Audio Engineer - Oli Walters </p><p>Coordinating Producers of Season 7 are Anthony Alvarez-Silva, Chloe Milliman, and Alexa Rosenbloom</p><p>Executive Producers of Hear UR are Thomas Fleischman and Stephen Roessner</p>

Episode 703 - The Suffrage Crusade of the Finger Lakes
<p>In this episode of Hear UR, “The Suffrage Crusade of the Finger Lakes,” we trace the bold, unlawful actions of Susan B. Anthony and the movement she helped lead in 19th-century New York. Centered on Anthony’s role as an influential leader in the fight for women’s rights, the podcast follows her landmark trial that took place in Canandaigua, in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. There, Anthony and other so-called “radical” women risked their reputations, freedom, and livelihoods to challenge an unjust system. Their courage came at great personal and legal cost, yet their actions helped spark lasting change. This episode not only reflects on their sacrifices but also is a timely reminder about voting apathy.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode was produced by:</p><p>Producer - Meili Shepard</p><p>Lead Researcher - Phong Nguyen</p><p>Audio Engineer - Kayla Mann</p><p>Coordinating Producers of Season 7 are Anthony Alvarez-Silva, Chloe Milliman, and Alexa Rosenbloom</p><p>Executive Producers of Hear UR are Thomas Fleischman and Stephen Roessner</p>

Episode 701 - Whos Myth Is It Anyway?
<p>The narrative of Seneca Lake’s folklore has vastly shifted over time. Today, via a quick Google Search, curious researchers may find information surrounding the Lake Guns, the rumored Seneca Lake Sea Monster, and the tale of Agayentah. Many of these stories claim inspiration from the native Seneca people. However, much of this is a fabrication, erasing the real history of the region. This episode covers the evolution of Seneca Lake’s folklore and the history of the Seneca people and the ethnic cleansing carried out by American settlers. Additionally, we discuss modern links between mythos and science and contemporary initiatives to restore and preserve Seneca history.</p><p>This episode was produced by:</p><p>Producer - Alex Holly</p><p>Lead Researcher - Miller Gentry-Sharp</p><p>Audio Engineer - Sasha Danilov</p><p>Editor - Troy Macie</p><p>Coordinating Producers of Season 7 are Anthony Alvarez-Silva, Chloe Milliman, and Alexa Rosenbloom</p><p>Executive Producers of Hear UR are Thomas Fleischman and Stephen Roessner</p><p><br></p>
