It’s the 20th Episode of the Biggest Small-Town Podcast in the World, and we celebrate by celebrating our local fire and ambulance services, who take care of all of us and make us feel safe. It’s also Mike’s Big Birthday, and he compares notes on living and learning with our best girlfriend Martha Worzel, before we take it to the stage to visit Barryville OG punks Basic Bitches making their Bethel Woods debut!

Plus, singer songwriter Alys Berry drops by to talk about Barryville’s most exciting new music series, and somehow, in the middle of all this madness we take a trip in time back to the Barryville Farmers’ Market and the heady days of Shadfest 2024! It’s an embarrassment of riches on our 20th Show!!! THANKS EVERYONE, WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Spring has sprung with a galaxy of fiestas — Easter, Passover, Earth Day, 4/20, WrestleMania, and so much more! To celebrate this embarrassment of riches, we take a trip through the historic Borscht Belt with photographer Marisa Scheinfeld, and we go on location to cheer on the amazing girls of the Eldred Little League... but not before we visit with the heroes of the Upper Delaware Litter Sweep who are helping to keep our town and our river clean, clean, clean! All this, plus Johnny takes on the local media, Mike tells the best jokes of all time, local faves the Electric Chords come by to play live in the studio, and Tiffany Diamond swoops in with another missive from the Barryville Traffic Helicopter. Can your heart stand it??
