Michele Hintz, a teacher at Bloomsburg High shares her classroom with digital technology, changing goals and AI. It's an interesting time to be a teacher. She'll tell us about it in this week's episode. Enjoy.

Today's guest is Charles Pursel (you probably know him as Cardy), retired attorney and lifelong resident of Bloomsburg. Cardy and I take a trip up Main Street as it was in roughly 1940. Time to geek on what was where when in Bloomsburg way back then.  Enjoy.

This is the second part of my interview with Steve Wright.  In this episode Steve talks about his 2,200 mile hike from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail. Enjoy.

Laurie McCants has had a life. Fortunately for her and others, it's not over yet but her story so far is quite interesting. Let's let her tell it.

Millville local Connor Henry has been making environments intended to scare since he was a child. Whether it began with the ghost who lived in his house (still does), the work of Tim Burton or his first trip to Philadelphia's Terror Behind the Walls, Connor's passion for fear abides. In this interview, we'll hear his life, his installations and future plans. Enjoy.

LuAn Keller grew up on a dairy farm between Catawissa and Bloomsburg.  She also lived in India, Japan and China before returning to Bloomsburg. And where did she get this connection to the larger world? Possibly from her mother who... grew up on a small farm outside of Catawissa and had a drive to live larger and more widely. This is a very interesting talk with a very interesting person.

What's in a name? Well, as far as the Whipple name goes;  a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a gang of local horse thieves and yours truly. In today's episode, William Baille, of the Columbia County Historical Society talks about our industrious, larcenous and (at least one of them) charming gang of horse thieves. Enjoy.

Today's guest is Steve Gilliland, a member of the local music scene for decades and now a theatre artist in New Orleans. Steve talks about his career path and his experience with Ayahuasca. This episode is about journeys.

Enjoy.
