Albany Made Podcast Albany Public Library

In the spirit of Halloween season, we present to you 2 historic tales of murder and betrayal in the Capital Region.

First we are joined by Shawna Reilly, Education Coordinator at Albany's Historic Cherry Hill, who tells the story of one of Albany's most infamous murders; the Strang-Whipple Case of 1827.

Afterwards, Zan and the Winter Folk perform the murder ballad of "The Veiled Murderess", Henrietta Robinson, who in 1853 murdered Timothy Lanagan & Catherine Lubee by poison in Troy, NY.

In part one of today’s episode, we’re featuring a long standing tradition here at APL; The Friends of Albany Public Library’s weekly book talks, where our director Scott Jarzombek recently gave a presentation on “Long Island Migrant Labor Camps: Dust for Blood” about the darker side of Eastern Long Islands agricultural history.

In part two, Scott speaks with author Mark Torres about the book and their shared history and legacy having growing up on Long Island, close to where the camps were once located.

In today’s episode, APL’s executive director Scott Jarzombek sits down with Nancy Barile, author of “I’m not holding your coat”, a memoir about finding empowerment through the Philadelphia punk and hardcore music scenes during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. She talks about the connections she made along the way and how her experiences have informed her calling as an educator, while Scott shares parallels in his own trajectory as a person and educator.
