Stories for the central New York soul

Syracuse University Press

If you've read a newspaper in Syracuse in the last 25 years, you probably know the name Sean Kirst. He wrote thousands of columns for the Syracuse Post-Standard and Syracuse.com. Kirst has a new book out which is a collection of some of those columns. He talked about the book with WRVO news director Catherine Loper.
