What’s Up in the Neighborhood, September 2 2023

So before I do this week’s recap of the fine people on my personal blogroll, I need to acknowledge Audley Stephenson’s “Best Audacious Life!” podcast, which recently recorded its 200th episode. Congratulations, my brother!

Also, welcome to the blogroll Jim Windolf. Jim Windolf is one of several Hamilton College alumni and friends of mine on the blogroll (that list includes Amy Biancolli, Greg Thomas, Kris Hoffman, Lazygal, the Bel Esprit portal and the Venn Librarian) and he’s just resurrected his old WHCL program “Boy With a Problem” as an hour-long music podcast. Take a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
