North Words: A Winter Connection to ADK Summers
by
February 16, 2026
On the latest edition of North Words, in the cold of winter, an effort is underway to connect people to their special summer place in the Adirondacks. Some people with long ties to Twitchell Lake in the southern Adirondacks have launched a website that charts the natural, social, and even legal history of a place that has drawn visitors for generations – and generations of visitors. Later, what makes “Canadian English” distinctive? We’ll meet one of the people behind a project to compile the first dictionary of Canadian English in more than two decades. And a sign-stealing “scandal” might be brewing in the mountains of Vermont. We’ll hear an audio postcard that tells the quirky tale of one person’s unusual hobby.
From North Creek to South Colton, from Old Forge to New Bremen, North Words 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.
