There's a mystery in Katonah and we bring on private investigator Brian Willingham to help us untangle the web of mystery wrapped in an enigma enveloped in a shroud of stupidity as to who sent me a Valentine's Day card from "Dave Becker." We have always wanted to do a local serial-like investigative deep dive on the pod and well, this definitely wa…

We talk to Dr Bertin about children’s social and emotional struggles during the pandemic.

Because I've never been more bored, we're back for one last 2020 podcast with resident tv watcher extraordinaire Jeremy Nevins joining us to talk about what we should be watching on tv.

We talk with Lynn Garofolo about teaching 5th grade fully virtually across multiple klsd elementary schools, how desperate she must have been for content to have invited us “in” to speak to her class about the podcast and what grade she gave us for our interview of her. At the beginning of the pod, well, we got to talking about colonoscopies, snow …

We have a great conversation with Ed Baum, Editor-In-Chief of The Record-Review. We discuss the history of the paper, the need for local journalism, journalism under fire and whether or not The Record-Review would want to buy our podcast (after listening to the rest of the podcast, I'm guessing no). Our banter at the beginning of the pod includes w…

We are excited and honored to welcome Andrew Selesnick on to our podcast days ahead of the opening of school. We touch on a wide array of topics while getting to know Andrew a little better.

We broaden our horizons beyond the Bedford/Lewisboro area and are pleased to have Ken Jenkins on to discuss all things Westchester including: his role in our local government working with County Executive George Latimer, Covid-19 (duh) and his thoughts on race and the peaceful protest in Bedford.

An interview with Katonah store owner Viktoria Fisch from Ebba. We talk about her acting career, her amazing store and how good Craig smells because of Viktoria’s personalized cologne.

We twisted our own arms to go do an on-site interview at the Captain Lawrence Brewery with founder Scott Vaccaro, where he discusses all things beer and also makes a big, “spirited” announcement. We also dive in on the 684/CT toll proposal and then come up with ideas for new John Jay mascot names in our own special way. As always, there’s a lot of …

We’ve got a terrific interview with Jeff Haydon, Katonah resident and CEO of Caramoor.

We’ve got an intro song! Thank you local resident, Beano Zylber (yes, Beano) for submitting an intro song for us.

We also dive into who could possibly hav…

We're a breaking news organization (apparently) as we're recording immediately after tonight's Town Board Meeting.
