FOUR NEW PODCASTS FROM THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW SCHOHARIE COUNTY BEST

SOME PLACES DESERVE

TO BE HEARD

No brochure has ever fully captured what makes Schoharie County what it is. The stories are too layered, the people too interesting, the landscape too alive. Until now: four new podcasts get a little closer. 


From the deep history of the valley to the wild things that only come out after dark, these are the voices and places that have been here all along, finally with a mic in front of them. 


Keep reading, press play, and let Schoharie County do the rest.


 
 
 

WHERE WONDER LIVES

Ancient trees that were old before your town had a name, birds that know this valley better than any map, and the kind of quiet that makes you stop and actually listen. Where Wonder Lives is an invitation to explore the wilder, slower, stranger corners of Schoharie County. The ones that don't show up on the highlight reel but stay with you long after the drive home.

 
 

AT THE HEART OF THE VALLEY


Legends, landmarks, and the legacy of one of New York's most historic regions. Revolutionary War heroics, personal stories of survival and revival, and the living culture of a people whose roots run deeper than any history book. This is where the past is never really past. It lives in the buildings, the battlefields, and the voices of the people who have dedicated their lives to making sure it stays that way. These are the human moments that make this valley worth knowing.

 
 

TASTE THE SEASONS

A backstage pass to the farms, breweries, and orchards that define life here. Meet the people turning grain and hops and hillside harvests into something worth savoring. Hear what it actually takes to grow, brew, and build something from the ground up in a place like this, and find out why the food always tastes better when you know where it comes from.

 
 

AFTER DARK & WILD


This one is for the night hikers, the stargazers, and the ghost chasers. The county looks completely different after dark. The skies open up, the woods come alive, and the stories that felt like legend start to feel a little more possible. Keep your eyes wide and your footsteps light.

 
 

MORE TO EXPLORE

 
 

FIND YOUR EXHALE

Yoga, retreat centers, and sauna sessions in the woods. Schoharie County has more ways to reset than most people realize. 

 
 

LET US BE YOUR WINGMAN

Eagle sightings, bluebird trails, and a valley that rewards anyone willing to slow down and look up. 

 
 

GIRLS TRIP, UNLOCKED

Schoharie County has the scenery, the vibes, and the experiences. All that is needed is the group chat.

OTHER JUNE HAPPENINGS 

 




 

ONE MORE THING 

 

It is just beginning. The blooms, the stands, the first signs that Schoharie County is shifting into the season it was made for. The Schoharie County Farmers Market is now open every Sunday, and the farm stand map is the best way to follow along as more opens up across the valley.
