Noel and Zac take Off Track on Track...but do they ever really stay on task?

This week the duo welcomes Jene Sena of WNYT's Capital Region Lifestyle after appearing on her show. They talk the Spa Summer's grand finale, Track Fashion, and once again, Zac's issue with Crocs. Did he find a better alternative?

Plus, a special track edition of Off Track's favorite Summer Game, Local or Tourist!

What happens when you go back through the archives and pull together some of the best, funniest, most unexpected moments from Off Track Saratoga?

You get this episode.

This week, Noel McLaren and Zac Denham are doing things a little differently and taking a trip through some of their favorite moments from the first two seasons of the podcast — from Saratoga stories and local history to parenting, summer fatigue, pop culture, strong opinions and conversations that went completely off the rails.

Hear the story behind Saratoga's legendary buglers Tony and Carson Gambaro, discover the surprising history behind a Saratoga home that refused to disappear, get a behind-the-scenes look at SPAC, revisit the origins of The Pearl, and relive some of the conversations that made Noel and Zac laugh the hardest.

There's also a spray-tan question that went very wrong, a passionate Crocs debate, a few questionable musical choices, and a surprisingly meaningful conversation about confidence.

It's funny. It's nostalgic. It's very Saratoga. And, as always, it goes a little Off Track.

If you're new to the podcast, this is a great place to start. If you've been listening since Season 1, consider it a highlight reel of some of the moments that made us love doing this show.

Summer is winding down in Saratoga, and Noel and Zac are feeling all the feelings.

From celebrating Standard Fare’s first birthday and trying to embrace a little summer whimsy to the return of puzzles, bedazzling, family computers and other ways to escape the doom scroll, this episode is all about slowing down and enjoying what’s right in front of us.

Then things take an Off Track turn with a D23-inspired game of “Remake It, Reboot It, or Leave It Alone?” as Noel and Zac debate which movies and shows deserve a second life—and which ones should be left alone.

Plus: SPAC, back-to-school, emotional support water bottles, the great Crocs debate, and a revealing round of Inside the Actors Studio-style questions that gets surprisingly personal.

It’s summer in Saratoga, it’s a little chaotic, and it’s very much Off Track.
