Points are redeemable for experiences, merch, and more through the CT Perks website. Guiding the way, your host, local voice actor Amanda Elgie, talks with the makers and creators who fill these places with their personality, giving listeners both the story and the roadmap of how to experience it themselves.

    Episode 1: Only in Connecticut
    2026/05/07

    Welcome to CT Perks & RecreationTM. This first episode is a cozy, slightly chaotic love letter to Connecticut, hosted by voice actor and tea enthusiast Amanda Elgie.

    In this debut, Amanda trades flat Illinois backroads for New England hills and invites listeners along as she chases the little things that make Connecticut feel like home - hidden reading nooks, riverside trails, Main Street cafes, and small-town oddities. Episode One hops from artisan chocolates in the Litchfield Hills to a sprawling used book barn in Niantic, and a historic whaling ship in Mystic. It continues with a storybook steam train ride, a riverside opera house, and a Dracula-themed Romanian restaurant, proving that staying local can be a full on adventure.

    Guests include:

    Bryan Hurlburt, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture
    Rachel Lenda, Director of Tourism for the State of Connecticut
    Maria Petrillo, Director of Interpretation for Mystic Seaport
    Stephanie Stephan, Local Author
    Cat Carter, Goodspeed Opera Season Ticket Holder
