The Jiffy Newsletter Podcast
A documentary audio zine about upstate New York, exploring cozy histories, odd mysteries, and personal dispatches from the land of bucolic barns and Kinderhook blobs.
Each episode is an upstate odyssey. From high-stakes bake-offs and haunted antiques to roadside cows and quaking trees, host James Cave brings you stories from New York’s non-Manhattan regions – told with curiosity, humor, and the occasional text message from a stranger.

A Sleep Hike Through Mud Creek
It's Mud Season here, not just at The James Cave Instagram Feed, but across all of the northeast.
And for this relaxing Sleep Hike, I thought it would be peaceful to take a restful walk through Mud Creek, in Hudson, New York. Mud Creek is a part of the Mud Creek Environmental Learning Center, located on the property of Columbia County Soil & Water Conservation District office.
They host a variety of hands-on, inquiry based, environmental education programs, and here, we take a Sleep Hike through its marshy landscape. Mud Creek is home to beavers, muskrats, rabbits, coyotes, lots of birds, potentially ticks, and even a bobcat.
But because it's a Sleep Hike, you don't have to worry about running into any of that wildlife. Just sit back, relax, and let me take you on this peaceful path to slumber.
