Yinz Are Good

Get ready for one fun episode...

Tressa has the delight of sitting down for a chat - and a lot of laughter - with Pittsburgh legends Larry Richert and Jim Krenn. They talk community, role models, doing good, yinzers, movies, Bruno Sammartino and more...

Larry and Jim, along with Dan Marino (yes, that Dan Marino), Doug Mariani, and Dick Roberts, are the owners of a new food truck in the 'burgh: Yinzer Dogs. But they're not just serving up hot dogs--they've got some amazing sammiches, bit-sized pierogies, and more...AND a portion of all of their proceeds go to local charities.

Larry Richert is the "The Voice of Pittsburgh". He has hosted the KDKA Radio Morning News since 2001, is the voice of NFL Films/Steelers Highlights, the Public Address announcer at Acrisure Stadium for the Steelers, and he's part of the Pitt Panthers Football network broadcast team. Larry has long been an ambassador for the city of Pittsburgh and was winner of the Vector’s Richard Caliguiri Award for that reason.

Jimmy Krenn rose from the ranks of stand-up comedians to become Pittsburgh’s premier comedian and broadcast personality, known for his 24-year run as host of the city’s top-rated morning show on 102.5 WDVE FM and for hosting his very own morning radio show on Q92.9FM.

He has been voted the Top Entertainer in the City by Pittsburgh Magazine 14 times and was nominated by BILLBOARD Magazine as one of the Major Market Personalities of the Year. He makes frequent television appearances, does several standing-room-only concert performances yearly and has performed with the likes of Jay Leno, Howie Mandel, Dennis Miller, and Jerry Seinfeld.

First, Tressa talks about her fabulous weekend meeting yinz at two local events: Yinzerfest and the August Wilson Birthday Celebration Block Party.

And then, Tressa sits down with three remarkable mental health advocates: Jordan Corcoran, Ta'lor L. Pinkston, and Gab Bonesso. These are three of Tressa's favorite people on the planet and some words that have come to her mind regarding this conversation are joy, gratitude, hope, laughter, and love. They have all been guests on the show before, and are now all going to be part of Camp Lucy, a mental health conference for kids being hosted by Jordan and Listen, Lucy.

Tressa sits down with a panel of phenomenal women to discuss women's health - specifically heart health - and the ACMS' newly-formed Women in Healthcare Committee. They chat about all of that and so much more, including work/life balance, the challenges facing female physicians, and the importance of support and mentorship (and they laugh a whole lot too). This is a valuable conversation for women of all ages - and for men too!

Critically acclaimed as one of the finest choruses in the country, MCP is the “voice of the greater Pittsburgh region”. Unlike other professional arts organizations, MCP is comprised of mostly amateur singers with professional-caliber talent, whose day jobs vary from postal clerk to physician to casino card dealer. MCP singers give generously of their talent, passion, and commitment to share the magic of live music with the widest possible audience. Tressa discusses all of this and SO much more - including how MCP is partnering with local nonprofits - in a delightful and insightful chat with MCP's new Music Director, Daniel Singer.
