Writer Dan Rubinstein endured a 1,200-mile paddleboard pilgrimage from Canada to NYC and back, which included a jaunt down the Hudson River and a few overnight stays in the Hudson Valley. His new book about the adventure is called Water Borne and in it Rubinstein invokes the powers of "blue space" for the benefit of all. He'll be live in the studio for a conversation.

Host Justin Maiman from Cairo shares his latest inspirations on the "Ginger Radio Hour." Live from WGXC's Acra studio, the show features music, field recordings, performances, and interviews, primarily with people in and around the Catskill Mountains of New York.
