About THE EAGLE: A Times Union Podcast
The Eagle is the Times Union’s podcast home for newsroom priorities, regional investigations, and feature conversations across New York’s Capital Region and Hudson Valley. Its daily briefings are concise and report-forward. Jessica Marshall often frames the stories, moving quickly through the items Times Union journalists are tracking. The subject mix is broad but firmly local. One update covers Albany’s MVP Arena hosting NCAA regional hockey and preparing future bids. Another follows legal-fee disputes tied to former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration and an unpublished New York State report warning that Lyme disease needs more research, better testing, stronger reporting, and expanded treatment coverage. Public safety and accountability recur often. The show reports on Marcus Burks, who died in police custody, and notes that body camera video obtained by reporters may be disturbing. It also follows a Hudson River emergency landing, where flight instructor Liam Darcy took control after a small training plane lost engine power. Business and features share space with harder news. Saratoga’s 15 Church Fine Dining Restaurant, Colonie’s Desmond Hotel, and the Real McCoy Beer Company appear alongside courts, health, and state government. The longer episodes widen the frame. The Eagle previews Long Buried, a six-part story connected to human remains found at a Putnam County construction site and the Robin Murphy case. It replays Catastrophic Failure, a Times Union limited series on the Schoharie limousine crash, with careful warnings about graphic material. The show also makes time for culture: Gregory Maguire reflects on Wicked, antiheroes, outcasts, and the endurance of the green girl, while Steven Borzichillo talks about Brochet, crochet, internet community, and fearlessly chasing joy. The result is not a detached news digest. It is a working newsroom in audio form, practical enough for daily catching up and deep enough to send listeners toward the reporting behind the headlines.
Made for: Best for listeners who follow New York State, the Capital Region, and Hudson Valley stories closely. It also suits people who want local reporting that connects courts, politics, public safety, culture, and business without a national-news filter.
What sets it apart: The Eagle pairs brief newsroom updates with excerpts and handoffs from Times Union limited series and feature reporting. Few local news podcasts shift this easily from daily headlines to cold cases, crash investigations, Wicked, and crochet culture.
In their own words
Hear from reporters and editors at the Times Union, the oldest and largest newspaper in New York's Capital Region, about the week's top stories.
