The curious case of the mysterious Valentine’s Day card

February 25, 2021 • 43 mins
There's a mystery in Katonah and we bring on private investigator Brian Willingham to help us untangle the web of mystery wrapped in an enigma enveloped in a shroud of stupidity as to who sent me a Valentine's Day card from "Dave Becker." We have always wanted to do a local serial-like investigative deep dive on the pod and well, this definitely wasn't that....

Talking tv with Jeremy Nevins

December 29, 2020 • 54 mins
Because I've never been more bored, we're back for one last 2020 podcast with resident tv watcher extraordinaire Jeremy Nevins joining us to talk about what we should be watching on tv. We ask the question: if Katonah were a tv show, what show would we be. We also talk about one of Dave's chickens dying while he's conveniently away and how I should dispose of it (perhaps with a Viking Funeral on Todd's Pond).

December 16, 2020 • 52 mins
We talk with Lynn Garofolo about teaching 5th grade fully virtually across multiple klsd elementary schools, how desperate she must have been for content to have invited us “in” to speak to her class about the podcast and what grade she gave us for our interview of her.

An interview with Ed Baum, Editor-In-Chief of The Record-Review

October 1, 2020 • 54 mins

We have a great conversation with Ed Baum, Editor-In-Chief of The Record-Review.  We discuss the history of the paper, the need for local journalism, journalism under fire and whether or not The Record-Review would want to buy our podcast (after listening to the rest of the podcast, I'm guessing no).  Our banter at the beginning of the pod includes way too much Weird Al Yankovic (best not to ask why) and I finally unmute ...

We interview the Katonah Chalker and discuss his mysterious yet beautiful ways while bringing happiness to people on their daily walks in and around town.
