It's a bit of old and new this week as Kayla Ek, the curator of the Nightmare Market, returns to The Daily Gazette podcast studio to talk about this fall's installment on Oct. 18.

She was joined by former co-worker, Shenandoah Briere, who has a new role as promotions director with Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corp.

John Norris returns with a conversation about his weekly Pint-Sized column, this time visiting Brown's Brewing as we talk about beer and the legacy of the Browns, including former photographer, Sid Brown.

Thomas Dimopolous makes his first appearance in the podcast studio talking about the close of summer's rock concerts at Saratoga Performing Arts Center with co-headliners Judas Priest and Alice Cooper.

You can listen to the full interview with Kayla Ek at The Stan and Shen Show podcast on all your listening platforms.

This week, Stan invites in his newest colleague, John McIntyre, publisher of The Spotlight and its publications, who joined the Daily Gazette Family of Newspapers last week.

They discuss his journey into journalism, as well as his vision for the future of The Spotlight editions.

John Norris stops in for his weekly pint-sized chat, and this time his samples didn't have a traditional hearty head on them as he spent time at Helderberg Meadworks in Troy.

The podcast closes out with The Daily Gazette's version of the Jedi Knight, Ken Schott, who is approaching his 500th episode of The Parting Schotts Podcast.

They talk about his start in radio and journalism, some of his top guests, and who would be the 'catch' for the 500th episode.

It was the Daily Gazette version of The Office this week, as Ted Remsnyder, John Norris, and Chad Arnold stopped by the podcast studio to talk about work and have some fun.

Ted Remsnyder kicked things off with a look back at the Niskayuna Supervisor debate hosted by The Daily Gazette between candidate John Rickert and Supervisor Erin Cassady-Doran. It was Ted's first time as a panelist, and Stan was filling in as a moderator for the first time.

John Norris not only sells advertising for Gazette Media Group, but he also writes a weekly craft beer column titled 'Pint-Sized' and talks about his latest visit and tasting.

We veered off the reporter beat with Chad Arnold to talk about local comic book day being a not-so-big day, but Batman Day the week before was huge! Chad discussed his growing comic book art collection and praised the latest Superman movie.
