Fryday Podcast With Le Petit Poutine

We are celebrating our 50th episode! For the occasion, we ramble about the new year starting, Rochester's not-so-nice national news coverage and which of our favorite boss-ladies got left out of a best of 2017 countdown (again). Plus, guess how many tons of potatoes we used in 2017 and win a major award!  It's the Fryday Podcast.

It's almost Christmas! We talk how to be a Christmas-party show stopper with your small-talk skills. But, how would we know, since we haven't been invited to any parties? Plus, it isn't every week a poutine-controversy makes the New York Times. We discuss this spud-scandel and more. It's the Fryday Podcast.

Our guests this week are the fellas behind Rochester's favorite online talk show, Rochester Live. We sit down with Ron Ferrara, Mike Scipioni and the Genesee River Boys to talk about making a weekly show and being chased by bears (among other things). Listen in if you dare.
