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.

Daily Gazette staffers Stan Hudy and Shenandoah Briere kick off their latest podcast with a special guest, who didn't need a lot of introduction, but Shen had a major annoucement.

After discussing her new role, the duo spoke about other staff advancements, as well as the departure of a dear friend to new opportunities.

Several gifts were given after her announcement.

With summer officially underway, the talk turned to camps, especially Shen's experience at camps.

The pair finished with a tasting of a brand new Oreo flavor that had th two singing it's praises.
