Intimate interviews with the people behind the iconic voices known so well to Capital Region radio listeners. WGY's Mike Patrick speaks to WGY announcers, news anchors, and hosts spanning the last seven decades as we celebrate WGY's 100th year in service in 2022.
Joe never worked for WGY, but he has more than enough cred to deserve his own podcast.
Joe was named the first full time Executive Director of the New York State Broadcasters Association in 1980, becoming President in 1986.
Joe is very passionate about the business, and he does have a connection with a former WGY/WRGB staffer by way of family.
Among the many stories he shares includes his first encounters with a guy named Limbaugh.

Doug Goudie
Doug Goudie started at WGY following the retirement of Chuck Custer after 36 years in the building.
He initially was paired with Kelly Lynch in what could be called a transitional period, before Kelly moved on.
Here, he talks about his reflections on the legacy of WGY at 100 years and going strong, his broadcasting background, not only radio but television, and why people call him "VB" (Hint, it doesn't stand for "Very Best.")

The Verruto Family
Many people consider WGY a part of their family.
In this case, a real life family really became part of our family.
We speak with Claudia Verruto to discuss her family and the connection to WGY.
It starts with her dad who sang on WGY in the 1940's, her aunt, who appeared on Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour, and was a regular with Earl Pudney, and then there's her brother, who did Radio Sales for WGY, eventually he became Sales Manager, and was once named Broadcaster of The Year!
