The latest episode of The Catch Up podcast from The Daily Catch features publisher Walter Mullen and editor Emily Sachar in conversation with Gary Bassett, Rhinebeck's mayor and Hudson Seven chair. Bassett shares details about the recent Hudson River algae bloom, explaining how it was detected, its effects on local water supplies, and the coordinated response efforts underway. The episode wraps up with a story from the Rhinecliff Amtrak station, where cars needed to be towed for required parking lot repaving, leading to a surprising act of generosity from the towing company owner.
