Welcome to the Bedford Citizen Podcast, Bedford Explained.  

I’m your host Gene Kalb

The Bedford Citizen has had an on-going column called Bedford Explained for several years.  The idea is simple, as the name suggests, we are in the business of explaining things around our town.  Traditions, events, names, rumors, memorials, tall tales, etc.    I know I’ve lived in Bedford for over 30 years,  and there are things around town that have made me curious; The horse trough on The Great Road?  Who was the John Glenn middle school named after?  not the astronaut.   After seeing these curiosities over and over they quickly just become part of the scenery, without much more thought as to the how or why. But these things have a story. That was the idea behind the column, but we thought it would be even more interesting to hear those stories from some of the people involved.  

That is the idea behind this podcast

Thank you to the Bedford Cultural Council for making Bedford TV podcasts possible.
