College days have been on the mind of Penn Stated podcast host Donnie Collins lately.His are long behind him, as the seemingly monthly trips to visit campuses with his son -- who will be going away to college in the fall -- remind him. And this week's episode of the podcast is a tribute to the memories made during Collins' college days.With the help of his old college friend and current Williamsport Sun Gazette icon Chris Masse, one of the top prep sports reporters in the state, Donnie delves into what he feels is a key development in Penn State's offseason roster build: The transfer portal addition of former Williamsport running back Trey Potts this week. Nobody followed Potts' high school career better than Masse, and they discuss Potts' importance and potential impact.But, they also remember the old days at Penn State in the late 1990s, which included what in their mind could be the greatest football game ever played on campus at Penn State. (Certainly, it is in their minds.)Donnie also discusses his top College Towns in the Big Ten, based on a recent report that lists Ann Arbor, Mich., at the top and Lincoln, Neb., at the bottom of the list. Needless to say, Donnie feels that list is...a little off.To contact Donnie, drop an email at dcollins@timesshamrock.com, or send him a message on Twitter @PennStateTT.Listen and subscribe on Apple podcastsListen and subscribe on Google podcastsListen and subscribe on Spotify

He was considered one of the greats in the world of science fiction, sadly H. Beam Piper passed away way to young back in 1964 at his own hand. However, he left behind a prolific legacy of amazing writing and some of it celebrated his and mine adopted hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. I had the chance to write an article about his life for the "Williamsport Sun Gazette." I wanted to share the article here and an audio version of his short story that the good people of Librivox posted on their site here. The story is read by an amazing reader credited as Bellona Times. To find out more about H. Beam Piper, check out the amazing sites run by David Johnson and John Carr (also note I got the image of Piper from this site) . _______ Don't forget to visit "Conversations of the Strange" at our website here and on our Facebook page here. _______ New theme credit - "Extinction Level Event" by Jingle Punks --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Janice Ogurcak is the Director of Public Programming and Outreach at the World of Little League Museum. This museum is to Little League what the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is to Major League Baseball. Its filled with significant artifacts that range from serious to frivolous. There is a piece torn from the Berlin Wall when it fell, the badge of a fireman who perished in the World Trade Center on 9/11, a 1970s-era Troll Doll and a patch that flew in space. Each of these artifacts tell a story — one person’s story — and how they credit Little League with helping them develop the traits of character, courage and loyalty that helped them persevere when difficult times called for it. Did I mention that Jan is also the author of The World of Little League? It’s a photo book that shares some of the history of Little League Baseball, with a focus on artifacts that can be found at the youth sport’s organization’s museum. A former newspaper reporter and editor, Jan is a consummate researcher and she loves the art of the interview. She was employed by the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, joining the newspaper’s editorial staff in 1977, then accepting a promotion in 1990 as Lifestyle Editor. When she accepted the invitation to write the book, she dedicated herself to finding the people behind the artifact and, when possible, talking to them. Despite the fact that their story can’t possibly fit into the lengthy photo caption, it was important to Jan to listen to it, and to honor it. She also honors their stories when visitors come to the museum, and she’s able to tell them a bit more about that strange piece of dental work, or the bicycle, or the origami cranes and the Emmy awards. A museum is a curiosity shop when you don’t have context, and that’s what Jan does best - gives context, and meaning, and accuracy to people’s stories. I hope that Jan's interview inspires you to listen to someone’s story today. Honor the story by sharing it with others. That’s how we live forever. Jan is a lucky woman - she has seven grandchildren, who fill her days with happiness. She may not have time to write another book yet, but that time will come. For now, she’s doing the most important thing she can - being a grandparent. I'm envious! She keeps saying she's happy to share, but I haven't opened my door to find a box of kiddies yet.

Louis E. Hunsinger, Jr. labors for posterity. He does this as a historian, preserving Lycoming County's heritage as a writer for newspapers, magazines, programs, and books. He's the co-author of eight books. His publishing career began with his good friend,  Dr. James P. Quigel, and in 1999, the duo published the paperback, "Williamsport's Baseball Heritage," a photographic narrative about professional baseball, through Arcadia. This book was soon followed up by, "Gateway to the Majors: Williamsport and Minor League Baseball," published by Penn State University Press. For the past 15 years, Lou has been a reporter with Webb Weekly, a free tabloid delivered to more than 58,000 households in Lycoming County. He's earned quite a reputation while with the publication, writing feature articles about people and events. He also has a series, "Through the Years," that reprints historic news from papers of record. Locals also know Lou for his popular "History Shapers" series that ran in the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, nearly 18 years ago. It's not often someone can remain popular for an activity nearly two decades in the past, but Lou's writings have remained prominent in the community, regardless of where he works. Lou also is a staple of local baseball fields, from the venerable Bowman Field, where he attends nearly every home game of the Crosscutters minor league team, or at the Little League Baseball World Series field, where he announces in the press box. Lou's amazing recall of historic facts, dates, and statistics has prompted his friends to rely upon him for answering general questions, setting disputes, bets and queries, resulting in the nickname "Loogle," a play on the famous search engine, Google. His friends now say, "Let's Loogle It" when they have a question instead of reaching for their mobile phones. What makes Lou's work even more noteworthy is that he accomplishes this despite a visual disability. A failed cornea transplant left him blind in his right eye, and with failing vision in his left. This left him unable to drive, yet the indomitable historian continues to make his rounds around town, catching a city bus to the local library, or to meet with a source for an upcoming article. He also praises the technology that makes his work possible, as a sight-impaired person. Without the use of a special computer and screen, he may not have been able to continue to labor for posterity.
