We're less than a month from Election Day. Chris Smith is a political junkie.  Greg Bauch is ABSOLUTELY not. Greg wants to be a good citizen and utilize his right to vote but wants to understand what he's dealing with and doesn't know where to begin. We attempt to solve this like we attempt to solve everything...  with a podcast. Greg asks questions like "Hey, um, what's a Congress?"  Chris gives answers.  Greg interrupts with "Yeah, but where is Washington?" I moderate.  It's fun. ***** Use this non-partisan web tool to determine which candidate is most in line with your beliefs. Also, buy Greg's book.

Chris Smith stops by to discuss pending changes to The Buffalo News' website.    

I sat down with author Michael Rizzo to discuss his book Gangsters and Organized Crime in Buffalo:  History, Hits, and Headquarters.  I just received a copy of the book this morning so I have a feeling I'll have a bunch of new questions and try to get him on the podcast again soon.  Link to purchase the book is below.  

I used to work at a talk radio station called WECK.  Now it's a music station...  and it's for sale.  Chris Smith and I discuss.  

On today's podcast, Chris Smith, Alan Bedenko, and I discuss the death of Joe Illuzzi and the jostling for the position of Chairman of the Erie County Democrats. Warning:  Before you listen to the podcast and get offended, you might consider reading what Alan wrote for Artvoice.com and glance at something Chris posted on Twitter. Iluzzi was a despicable human being. A bully, felon, abuser, deadbeat dad, homophobe and misogynist. #JustSayin — Christopher Smith (@ChrisSmithAV) September 25, 2012 If you're still with us, you can probably handle the podcast. Enjoy!    

Chris Smith and Kevin Purdy stop by the Trending Buffalo studio to discuss TEDx Buffalo 2012 on today's TB Podcast.
