Schenectady County legislator Rich Ruzzo and Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corporation executive director Maureen Neufeld stopped by the podcast studio to talk about the 19th annual Schenectady County SummerNight event on Friday, July 11.

The guests discussed the economic impact, as well as the community bond that an event of this magnitude has on the city and the county.

The last half of the podcast was all about Shenanigans with the guests - Favorite Stewart's Flights, Top Four albums, favorite dinner guests, first concerts, along with a review of previous words you could not say on any broadcast.

Everyone in the studio was excited for this year's edition of SummerNight and hope that you can make it and this episode gets you to downtown this Friday night.

Freedom Park board president Cathy Gatta stopped by to talk about this year's Freedom Park concert series in Scotia along with all things music in the Capital Region.

There were plenty of laughs as Stan kept on referring to the '3rd on the 4th' celebration in Schenectady instead of the '4th on the 3rd' that led into a poor Abbot and Costello mistake and the show slid from there!

Cathy, also vice-president of the Schenectady Legislature, spoke about the talent coming to the area on July 11 for SummerNight and local talent, Sydney Worthley.

The duo found out Cathy's affinity for Stewart's ice cream, the standard for all cold confections across the nation, by her standards and her favorite ingredients at Bowled.
