This week, we’ve got two episodes coming your way. First up: what was supposed to be a quick intro to our interview which, naturally, turned into a full-on podcast. We’re recapping the biggest holiday parades in the Great Upstate, Taylor navigating a couple tough losses, and Jack’s latest mission to keep a major family tradition alive.

Stay tuned for a second episode later this week featuring Matt Baumgartner — owner of June Farms and star of the new reality show streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
