Breakfast With Barry Lee

In addition to observing National String Cheese Day and Pepperoni Pizza Day, Barry reflects on who it was that picked up that piece of paper that was dropped by a bishop and landed near the Queen's coffin at her funeral.

Barry's guests are Shannon Atkinson Ganoe and Melinda Topham who share information about the 'Community Connect And Serve' event on September 29th. Non-profit organizations, volunteers and faith-based organizations will be able to connect under one roof to share resources and collaborate on how to better serve those in need in our community.

In addition to it being National Play-Doh Day and Guacamole Day, it's also the day for Barry's annual physical, and he shares some of his anxieties about the visit.

One of the topics on today's podcast as we celebrate 'Cheese Toast Day' is comparing the differences between grilled cheese and toasted cheese.

Barry's guest on the podcast is Robyn Miller, Executive Director of WATTS, Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter. Robyn will share how the program has expanded beyond meals and a warm place to sleep, to working one-on-one with residents to help them find a way out of homelessness. The WATTS gratitude dinner and fundraiser is October 1st. (www.watts-homelessshelter.org)

Today is National Peanut Day (that's the 'legume' part), Ants On A Log Day (that's the log part), and back for the third year in a row (this is the La Nina part): La Nina!

On Barry's Podcast Planner he observes National Encouragement Day, Hug and High 5 Day and Video Games Day. His main topic of discussion are the commercials that pop up on his TV screen as he sits with his dinner and TV tray ... foot fungus ads being among the discussion.

A busy weekend on the 'Podcast Planner' as Barry observes National Teddy Bear Day (he still has his), the origins of TV frozen dinners, and on Sunday, 'Hug Your Hound Day'.

September is 'Childhood Cancer Awareness Month'. Barry's guest on this episode is a young woman that he crossed paths with on the radio airwaves when she was a teenager battling cancer, and they reconnect here, 13 years later.

In addition to National Beer Lover's Day, it's also a "What Are The Odds Wednesday" and Barry shares a pretty remarkable story of a chance meeting ... or was it?
