Everything's Better in Barryville is a revolution, an adventure into the changing character of rural America, where long-time locals look with suspicion at city folk planting their flags in the country to re-start their lives, and get “back to the garden.”

Part Twin Peaks, part Footloose, and part Green Acres for the modern world, Everything's Better in Barryville is the last hope for a town divided, where the backroads are dotted with Trump signs, even as gay bikers roll through town during the steamy high season of the summer months.

Everything's Better in Barryville is the climax of civilization.

About Your Hosts: 

Johnny Pizzolato is a tireless civic leader, businessmen, and activist helping to guide Barryville out from a swamp of tainted local politics and into a bright future. His “straight friendly queer bar,” the Stickett Inn, is the first thing you’ll see when you roll into town, and in his role as president of our local farmer’s market he keeps his boots on the ground, even while he has stars in his eyes.

Johnny's co-host, Mike Edison, is a long-time Heritage Radio host, the former publisher of High Times magazine, a celebrated musician, author, and renowned trouble maker, who lit out from the big city, and is facing all the challenges of his new life in Barryville – from fixing his old farm house and making sure the pantry is filled, to simply to fitting in.
