    Erin’s Angels of CNY: Building Beds & Feeding Kids

    Send us Fan Mail Erin’s Angels of CNY is doing powerful work for kids and families across Central New York — fighting food insecurity, supporting children, and helping create safer, healthier lives one meal and one bed at a time. In this episode of the Inner Harbor Cast, Skip Clark sits down with Jack Pflanze, Director of Fund Development and Communications for Erin’s Angels of CNY, to talk about the upcoming Dream Builders Bed Build in partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace. On Saturday, June 13, volunteers will gather at Michael A. Maroun Elementary School in Phoenix, NY, to help build 50 beds for children in Oswego County who do not have a bed of their own. Jack also shares the deeper connection between hunger, sleep, education, and childhood development — and opens up about his own personal experience growing up with food insecurity.  We also talk about a big weekend of events supporting Erin’s Angels, including the NFL Alumni Meet and Greet in Syracuse and the NFL Alumni Charity Golf Tournament at Drumlins. This is a conversation about community, compassion, and showing up for kids who deserve food, sleep, safety, and a chance. To learn more, volunteer, donate, or get involved, visit Erin’s Angels of CNY online and follow them on social media.

    Is It Okay to Say Happy Memorial Day? | Skip Happens Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail Memorial Day parades are supposed to be simple: show up, remember the fallen, and hold gratitude without turning it into a performance. But when you grow up around these traditions in places like Camillus, Fulton, and Oswego, you start to notice what changes year to year and what those changes say about us. We talk through the sights and sounds of parade day, the pride that still feels real, and the uncomfortable moments when politics, promotion, and “look at me” energy start to crowd out the reason everyone gathered in the first place.  Then we wrestle with a question that always sparks debate: is it wrong to say “Happy Memorial Day”? We unpack why that phrase hits people differently, how intention matters, and how to honor military sacrifice without arguing past each other. If you’ve ever hesitated before posting, texting, or greeting someone on Memorial Day, you’ll hear a few ways to keep it respectful while still being human.  From there, we pivot to a weekend story we didn’t expect to matter so much: Tommy Palooza, a music-filled, camping-style festival that felt like peace, love, and actual community. Think strangers sharing food, swapping stories, and dropping the labels we use to stereotype “hippies” and “free spirits.” It’s a reminder that connection is still possible, even when the world feels tense.  We also get real about summer concert season and radio life: why ticket prices are brutal, why backstage passes aren’t a magic wand, and why meet-and-greets and artist security are tighter than ever. If you’ve ever been tempted to send the “can you hook me up?” text, this will give you the honest behind-the-scenes view. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review with your take: what does Memorial Day mean to you, and what should a parade feel like?
