Norm interviews Emily Sachar, editor and founder of The Daily Catch, a hyperlocal newspaper covering Red Hook and Rhinebeck. They discuss her journey from a curious 11-year-old taking a bus to downtown St. Louis to becoming an intern at The Washington Post under Bob Woodward. Sachar shares insights into the challenges and rewards of local journalism, including the ethics of non-partisan reporting and the community's response to her work. They also touch on current local issues, including a boat club eminent domain case and a failing wastewater treatment plant. Sachar reveals personal anecdotes about her upbringing, her diverse career path, and her recent Parkinson's diagnosis, illustrating her resilience and dedication to her community.
