Jake News, Marty Balawkay, Steve Castle (via phone)We have in-studio guest Jonathan Burdick, from Erie Reader and the excellent local history blog, Rust & Dirt (@RustDirt)COVID-19 Chatter (This was recorded before the president declared a state of emergency, so the tone is probably a bit lighter than we would like, apologies.)Marty discusses his recent hospitalization and how he's doing. We have a brief talk about tolls and how different states handle them. Apparently, Massachusetts sends you a bill, and New Jersey charges you more to leave. Jonathan gives us a great back story about Ed Gingrich, the schizophrenic Amish man from the Cambridge Springs area who murdered his wife in an incredibly brutal manner.The Beer Segment: Madra Alta from Lavery Brewing Company (xx/5) It can only be found locally at Lavery Brewing, and we think Jake got the last of this batch, sadly. The guys talk more about Gingrich, plus some other famous murderers that have shown in the Erie area through the years. www.patreon.com/idiotvillepodcastOur theme song is composed and performed by Warehouse 11: Guitars by Brian Blake, drums by Dave Blake, bass by Chris Owochttps://www.facebook.com/Warehouse11Band/ http://www.warehouseelevenband.yolasite.com/www.idiotvillepodcast.comwww.facebook.com/idiotvillepodcastinstagram: idiotvillepodcastTwitter: @BrentNLibery, @ErieScastle, @TheRealJakeNew1, @Dill_spears, @TedBrogan2, @[email protected] our Facebook group!
