Upgrading Our Studio and Weekend Shenanigans | Good News York
Join us as we unveil our newly upgraded studio with clearer video and better lighting. Mike talks about a family-filled weekend, including an all-day dance competition and a mini podcast session with his son. We discuss the struggles and joys of attending kids’ sports and dance events, the unique charm and challenges of local Utica restaurants and dishes, and even debate our favorite cookies. Matt shares insights into business growth and adapting to economic downturns. Plus, we delve into the Savannah Bananas’ innovative approach to fan engagement and how MLB could learn from them. To top it off, Mike receives a gigantic, comically oversized water bottle from Matt. Tune in for these stories and more on today’s episode of Good News York!
