Episode Why Historic Preservation Still Matters Cover

Why Historic Preservation Still Matters

Host Tom Bell speaks with Kate Lemos McHale, the Executive Director of Greater Portland Landmarks about why historic preservation still matters in a time shaped by housing shortages, political division, and rapid change. The conversation explores the role preservation plays in strengthening communities, supporting local economies, and shaping Portland’s identity, while also tackling difficult questions about development, affordability, and the balance between protecting the past and building for the future. Kate discusses the history and mission of Greater Portland Landmarks, the challenges facing preservation efforts today, and how residents can get involved in protecting the architectural and cultural legacy of Greater Portland. Produced by Greater Portland Council of Governments for broadcast on WMPG90.9FM [https://www.wmpg.org] Edited by C.Carter

Episode The vanishing meadows beneath Casco Bay Cover

The vanishing meadows beneath Casco Bay

Host Tom Bell explores the alarming decline of eelgrass in Casco Bay with Ivy Frignoca, Casco Baykeeper with Friends of Casco Bay [https://www.cascobay.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com], and Janelle Goeke, Staff Scientist for Casco Bay Estuary Partnership, [https://www.cascobayestuary.org] who coordinates eelgrass restoration projects in Casco Bay. Often overlooked beneath the water’s surface, eelgrass is a critical foundation species that supports fisheries, improves water quality, stores carbon, and provides habitat for marine life throughout the bay. But nearly half of Maine’s eelgrass has disappeared over the past two decades, with especially dramatic losses in Casco Bay. The conversation examines what’s driving the decline, what restoration efforts are underway, and what the future of the bay could look like if communities succeed—or fail—in protecting this vital ecosystem. Host: Tom Bell Produced by: Speak Up Greater Portland Recorded at WMPG 90.9FM [http://www.wmpg.org] for live broadcast and podcast Podcast edit: C. Carter
