Teams From All Over the Northeast Travel to Mid-Hudson Love INC’s Scrabble Blitz

Welcome Hudson Valley! This is Conor Walsh, host of In Touch, Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley’s Award-Winning Public Affairs and Issues program.   

This week on In Touch, we have Jewel Ratzlaff from Love INC return. Love INC is holding their annual Scrabble Blitz tournament in Poughkeepsie, where people from all over the east coast come to comPete. Not just that, Jewel and I discuss how Love INC uses fundraisers such as this to serve those less fortunate in our community. 

We invite you to listen to a previously recorded conversation between Jewel and myself here on In Touch

In Touch Receives 2 Excellence in Broadcasting Awards for 2024  

I am so proud to announce that In Touch has received another two Excellence in Broadcasting Awards from the New York State Broadcasting Association for 2024. In Touch received the award for “Outstanding Public Affairs Program or Series” for the second year in a row. Not just that, but In Touch also received the award for “Outstanding Editorial/Commentary.” This recognition would not be possible without all our phenomenal guests that we learn from and grow with every single week, and of course you, the listener! Whether you’ve been listening for a while, or you just found us, thank you for taking part in the conversation and staying In Touch with what’s going on in the Hudson Valley.
