December 06, 2023 Ep. 110 Bystander CPR: Two Stories of Lifesaving CPR From Strangers & NTN: Kittanning or Connellsville?
This episode is close to Tressa's heart (pun intended)...
In this episode, you'll hear the stories of 2 cardiac arrest survivors who were saved by strangers who performed CPR on them. In both instances, these strangers worked together - as a team - to literally bring these folks back to life. Tressa had the honor and the joy of spending time with the survivors and some of those strangers at the 5K event in Kittanning, “Run For Your Life”.

November 21, 2023 Ep. 109 Dick Roberts, Rob Rogers, Jim Krenn & the GROWING UP YINZER book; Our Kindness Crate & ICYMI
What better book to talk about on this show than one called Growing Up Yinzer: Memories from Beloved Pittsburghers? Tressa sits down for a fun and fabulous chat with author Dick Roberts, illustrator Rob Rogers, and comedian/actor/Pittsburgh personality Jim Krenn, who is one of the yinzers featured in the book.

About the book: Pittsburgh's undeniable impact on the character and life of those who grew up there has shaped iconic figures of American sports, entertainment and culture. Legends of the gridiron such as Jim Kelly, Tony Dorsett, Dan Marino and Joe Namath forged their football prowess in Western Pennsylvania. Business pioneers including Mark Cuban, Ray Werner and Bill Strickland were ingrained with the value of hard work in the Steel City. Music and movie stars like Jeff Goldblum, George Benson and Billy Gardell found creative inspiration in Pittsburgh that led to new heights. Author Dick Roberts presents profiles, interviews and memories from some of the most famous and adored Pittsburghers.
