WAMC | The New York State Museum

The New York State Museum, WAMC/Northeast Public Radio and Archivist Media are excited to announce the launch of a new podcast today. “A New York Minute In History” explores the story of New York State and the unique tales of New Yorkers. 

The project ties New York’s historical events, people, and places to larger statewide, national and international historical events and eras. The effort also explores New York’s role in topics still grabbing headlines today such as race and equality. The podcast is hosted by Devin Lander, the New York State Historian, and Don Wildman, host of Mysteries at the Museum on Travel Channel. It is produced by WAMC’s Associate News Director Jim Levulis.

Starting today you can listen to “A New York Minute In History.” It is also available for download on Apple Podcasts and the Google Play store.

Support for “A New York Minute In History” comes from The William G. Pomeroy Foundation. The project is also sponsored by a Humanities New York Action Grant with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
