The great thing about doing the Capital Region Sunday show is that you get to cover a wide range of occupations and subject areas.  In some cases the information can be life saving. Here is a case in point.  Do you know someone with pulmonary hypertension?  They might have it without knowing it!  Take a listen to this repeat of a Capital Region Sunday interview with Rino Aldrighetti CEO of PHA. Re

"Honor, Courage and Commitment -That's the Marine Way".  And those qualities came shining through in my interview with Sgt James Marchetti of the U.S. Marine Corp stationed right here in Albany.

It's amazing to see people all over this area who do things and get such little recognition from the media.  Well, we're about to change that.  Meet Brandon Smith. I had the chance to meet him on this edition of Capital Region Sunday.

The arts....Oh man, could I do 50 blogs on THIS subject.  When in doubt, just free to chop it out of the school curriculum without giving it a second thought.  It wasn't that important anyway.  (Excuse me while I wipe up the dripping sarcasm)  However, there is a bright light in this depressing tunnel--  the Arts Center of the Capital Region, located in downtown Troy, NY...

Adults beware!  We are being put to shame by kids who are 10 times better at creative thinking, marketing and hard work than we'll ever be.  Case in point: Jeremy Wernick, a  student at Shaker Junior High who is doing incredible things for childhood cancer.  You have to hear him explain it in his own words.

If you or someone you know has had any dealings with cancer in any way, you owe it to yourself to give this a listen.  This was an interview with Julie Hart, the NYS Government Relations Director For the  ACS CAN Network.  All of the audio can be found below

This was a very special, emotional edition of Capital Region Sunday.   Click here to listen to Brenna Uline, cofounder of one of the most heartwarming organizations in the Capital Region -the Tears Foundation.   There's also a great way to help this group continue their important work.

This is yet another fantastic cause in the Capital Region - raising money for pancreatic cancer research. I had the chance to talk to coordinators, Ned and Shari Piper about an upcoming walk happening in Delmar.  You can hear the interview below

This was my first shot at interviewing solo in the 27 years that I've been on this radio station.  It's fun to try something new, and I couldn't have had a better guest to do this with.

Are you picky about what kind of beer resides in your glass? Would you believe an event with over 150 types of "brewskis"?  Read on!
