JAG Cast

It's Jenkintown's sesquicentennial (say that three times fast!) this year and Ben Bergman returns to the Pod to talk about the J150 celebrations being planned and how YOU can get involved! Tune in to learn about 48 year-old high school letters, Boy Scout gazebo renovation plans, the night market's return, a historical mural, and more! Plus, a really fun A Game Called Something rounds out the second half of the show. If you are a Jenkintownian, you definitely don't want to miss this episode and if you haven't been to JTown yet, tune in and get a sense of what's made Jenkintown thrive for 150 years!
