North Words: A Journey on Iconic Roads
by
July 4, 2025
This month, we’ll hear about how a trip on an iconic system of roads shaped a New York writer’s view of what might still hold the country together. Frank Barry is an opinion writer for Bloomberg News and former speechwriter for Michael Bloomberg. On the eve of the 2020 election, he and his wife drove an RV across the country on the historic Lincoln Highway. The result was his book, Back Roads and Better Angels. Plus, we’ll take a virtual trip to Saranac Lake, where the Pendragon Theatre is into its final season in a converted auto garage before moving into a new home next year.
From North Creek to South Colton, from Old Forge to New Bremen, North Words brings you interviews, on-site recordings, and special features that remind us what makes the North Country region so special. WCNY Community FM is pleased to present this monthly show from our colleagues at North Country Public Radio.
