Brian and Chrissy

Chrissy and I have had the pleasure of contacting our Q105.7 Hometown Heroes each month for nearly three years. We have never had a phone call quite like this.  Frank Lockwood from Coxsackie is a man of true character and integrity. He's a priest, addictions counselor, volunteer firefighter, and to …

One of the most talked about and beloved strong-tasting coffee brands (both locally and nationally) will be opening up their first ever stand-alone cafe in Albany part of a multi-million renovation project.

Last weekend a buddy of mine turned me on to a few documentaries about Area 51, alien spacecraft, the Air Force and Navy pilots who've witnessed 'something crazy in the sky' and one man in particular; his name is Bob Lazar.  I've always considered myself somewhat of a skeptic on anything, not just U…

With Capital Region temperatures about to skyrocket this weekend, maybe a little side-hustle by your kids could help them generate enough cha-ching for a new bike, some video games, toys or even contribute to a local charity.  This young man's cold marketing strategy was so successful, neighbors cal…

As we approach the 4th of July, get ready to see pop-up tents that claim to be selling "Fireworks".  They're not.  The technical term is 'sparkling devices' and for the record, they're not the big explosives that people in our neighboring states are able to legally sell.  With that being s…

Senator Tedisco presented three local teenage heroes with the New York State Senate Liberty Medal on Tuesday.  It's a tremendous honor they richly deserve for helping save the lives of two drowning people in Collins Lake, Scotia.
