Michael Keene Hosts New Podcast

A good friend and frequent speaker at the museum in years past has a new podcast debuting on September 15, 2019.   Local history author Michael T Keene, along with voice actress legend Norma Jean Gradsky, will host “Talking Hart Island”, a half-hour weekly podcast that will interview guests to explore the history of Hart Island,  the final resting place of lesser-known and sometimes famous New Yorkers.  It is estimated there are over 1,000,000 people buried there.

“Bringing to life the souls of the past that until now have been lost to history … Highly recommended.”
—Richard M. Ryan, Professor of Psychology, University of Rochester
