We're going to the Catskills! It's summer vacation, and for thousands of 20th century families, that meant a trip out of the sweltering heat of New York City into the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, where they patronized thousand-acre resorts, bungalow colonies, and B&B's. We welcome special guest Jen Stewart, host of the Borscht Belt Tattler Podcast, as she takes us through the rise and fall of the Borscht Belt.
