Conspiracy Theories Are Killing Us (Part 1)

Every once in a while, it's nice to see what's happening in the other journalism realms, so Matt reached out to longtime radio personalities -- and fellow podcasters -- Gil T. Wilson and Tony Collins to talk about their careers in radio and the odd, small town "I-recognize-your-voice" celebrity status it can bring.VISIT OUR T-SHIRT LAUNCH PAGEhttps://tinyurl.com/tshirtlaunchOFFICIAL SHOW WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net/smalltownjournalistFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOKwww.Facebook.com/SchorrManorSIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERtinyurl.com/schorrmanornewsletterFOLLOW MATT ON TWITTERwww.Twitter.com/themattschorrFOLLOW MATT ON INSTAGRAMwww.Instagram.com/theschorrFOLLOW MATT ON TIKTOKhttps://www.tiktok.com/@the1mattschorrCHECK OUT MATT'S WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net

Nerdin It Up

There's no bigger event in my homeland than the Fancy Farm Picnic. The pandemic forced organizers to cancel for the first time last year, but now it's finally back and the community it stoked! I chat with the Mayfield Messenger's editor, Eric Walker, about what the picnic means for the community and look back on some of our memories covering the big day.VISIT OUR T-SHIRT LAUNCH PAGEhttps://tinyurl.com/tshirtlaunchOFFICIAL SHOW WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net/smalltownjournalistFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOKwww.Facebook.com/SchorrManorSIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERtinyurl.com/schorrmanornewsletterFOLLOW MATT ON TWITTERwww.Twitter.com/themattschorrFOLLOW MATT ON INSTAGRAMwww.Instagram.com/theschorrCHECK OUT MATT'S WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net

Tales from Transworld

Gary Estwick, the Leaf-Chronicle's new Senior Editor, has seen and done a lot in his career. He almost got into a fight with a high school marching band, and he had a gun aimed in his direction while covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He's got some pretty wild tales, and he tells them all in this episode!OFFICIAL SHOW WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net/smalltownjournalistSUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELtinyurl.com/schorrmanoryoutubeSIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERtinyurl.com/schorrmanornewsletterFOLLOW MATT ON TWITTERwww.Twitter.com/themattschorrFOLLOW MATT ON INSTAGRAMwww.Instagram.com/theschorrCHECK OUT MATT'S WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net

Getting in Fights with Marching Bands

David Shelton is probably best known in his hometown as the Leaf-Chronicle columnist who advocates for LGBTQ rights, giving a voice to a community that all too often goes unheard. That alone is a unique experience, but he was also part of the Leaf-Chronicle's advertising team when the newspaper's office was destroyed by a tornado. So naturally, Matt had to bring him to the show!CLIMB ABOARD MATT'S LATEST KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGNhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattschorr/moby-dick-back-from-the-deep-4OFFICIAL SHOW WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net/smalltownjournalistSUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELtinyurl.com/schorrmanoryoutubeSIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERtinyurl.com/schorrmanornewsletterFOLLOW MATT ON TWITTERwww.Twitter.com/themattschorrFOLLOW MATT ON INSTAGRAMwww.Instagram.com/theschorrCHECK OUT MATT'S WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net

How to Freak Out the State Capitol

Many people don't want to remember 2020, and for the most part, we don't blame them. For all the misery it brought, though, 2020 was an eventful year. From the pandemic, to the Black Lives Matter protests, to the Presidential election, it likely changed our society -- and journalism -- forever. Leaf-Chronicle Sports Writer George Robinson joined me to talk about that fact, and reflect on all that happened this year.OFFICIAL SHOW WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net/smalltownjournalistOFFICIAL SHOW TWITTERtwitter.com/journalisttalesCHECK OUT OUR FACEBOOK PAGEwww.Facebook.com/SchorrManorSUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELtinyurl.com/schorrmanoryoutubeSIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERtinyurl.com/schorrmanornewsletterFOLLOW MATT ON TWITTERwww.Twitter.com/themattschorrFOLLOW MATT ON INSTAGRAMwww.Instagram.com/theschorrCHECK OUT MATT'S WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net

Looking Back on 2020

Everyone Has a Story

The Fancy Farm Picnic is famous for three things: Bingo, political speeches with raucous crowds and barbecue as far as the eye can see. Thanks to COVID-19, however, two out of three won't happen. (At the barbecue is still there.) Matt talks with Mayfield Messenger Editor Eric Walker about the picnic's history and the impact of its diminished status this year.OFFICIAL SHOW WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net/smalltownjournalistOFFICIAL SHOW TWITTERtwitter.com/journalisttalesCHECK OUT OUR FACEBOOK PAGEwww.Facebook.com/SchorrManorFOLLOW MATT ON TWITTERwww.Twitter.com/themattschorrFOLLOW MATT ON INSTAGRAMwww.Instagram.com/theschorrCHECK OUT MATT'S WEBSITEwww.MattSchorr.net

The Fancy Farm Picnic Returns (Sort of)

Reporters who work for small town newspapers may not have epic life experiences like Bob Woodward or Carl Bernstein, and they certainly don't get as much notice as national television news anchors, but they have the most unique, and often entertaining, stories to tell. Weekly humor columnist Matt Schorr looks back on some of his own off-beat, funny and occasionally just plain weird interactions with the public, while also welcoming other community reporters to share their own tales.www.facebook.com/schorrmanorwww.patreon.com/schorrmanorwww.mattschorr.netTwitter: @themattschorrInstagram: @theschorr
