Customer Reviews
Fun idea, Excellent Content
I may be partial since my father was one of the students of Grindstone Island’s School House and we come from a long line of Islanders....and my sister and I are named Kelly and Kristina. ;) But this content brings me home and educated me on the history of the area I don’t get to see or visit very often. Its perfect for a car ride to visit the river. Im subscribing now, really enjoying the work.
Essential Resource
As a military wife and architectural historian, the history and geography I learn about Watertown and the North Country in this podcast is so appreciated!! With every move, I strive to (and relish) getting to know our new community, particularly in terms of its history and architecture! Kelly and Christina are providing a wonderful resource (both overview and in depth) to me, also a busy work-at-home mother to little ones. Thank you so much!! I love the podcast!
Has potential, needs polish
Listening to the episode about the Davis Sewing Machine Company and it is a little cringe worthy. Please do some more research on the information you plan to use before you publish your episodes. Perhaps a rehearsal session, a script or something to make it a bit more professional sounding. You know the history of the Huffy bicycle company, but the location of a historic building in town just down the street from you, you get wrong right from the start of the episode. This just takes the listener out your podcast. You may want to visit the Jefferson County Historical Society to help you with your podcast about local history. Since they are sponsoring your show, you may want to walk the two buildings down the street and visit them to see what they have to offer. Please learn to pronounce local names of places such as Sewall Island. The neat thing is, you are recording this podcast so you can go back and re-record your sentence. It is more respectful of the history of the region if you pronounce the places correctly. Finally, a lot of overuse of the word actually. I like your program, but these are some things that when corrected would improve the program.
