PODCAST

It"s a Binghamton Thing

After retiring from teaching, I decided to launch a podcast where I chat with people from Binghamton and discusses the nostalgic place I call home. I believe anyone who grew up in Binghamton is either a "Local Legend" or "Binghamton Famous," not just the big names but also the everyday heroes, like the cashier at my favorite childhood grocery store.Binghamton is a special place for me, and I echo our own local legend Rod Serling’s words: "Everyone has to have a hometown, Binghamton"s mine."Episode
