Must-hear Olympic radio tomorrow morning on NCPR

You think you’ve heard just about every Olympic story imaginable already? Not quite.

It turns out that back in 2008 when the StoryCorps booth was here in Saranac Lake, Olympians Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey sat down to talk with one of their former coaches, Saranac Lake architect Kris Seymour.

Their conversation about sport, life, and the pursuit of the Olympic dream is amazing.

Seymour asks probing, intelligent, intimate questions.

Bailey and Burke talk in complex ways about what it means to be hugely famous pro athletes in Europe and almost unknown here in the U.S.

They also tell the story of growing up in this North Country culture, where winter sport is an essential part of life.

Join us for a special Olympic-edition StoryCorps tomorrow morning during the 8 O’clock Hour.
