INTRODUCTION BY JAYNIE ELLIS:
Dr. Christine Alexander-Decker and Charlie Kuenzel’s podcast is an insightful look at the “important fabric of our community” – health, history, and horses.
What can you expect to learn from Health, History, & Horses? In previous episodes Dr. Alexander-Decker has talked about a range of health topics like, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and sports medicine.
“Health is easy to expound on, and I’m hoping to reach out to a bunch of other experts for interviews,” said Dr. Alexander-Decker.
Kuenzel takes listeners back in time to summers of a particular year, how residents got ready to open the spa to tourists, how Christmas traditions have evolved in Saratoga over the years, and the history of the mineral springs.
Listeners can plan on Brien talking about topics such as a horse’s journey to Saratoga for the Summer Meet, the anticipation of the Triple Crown, and more.
Dr. Alexander-Decker and Kuenzel always find a way to interconnect their expertise.
“It was just very natural for us to start this podcast,” said Kuenzel.
