Motorcycle and aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss had several nicknames, as one might expect from a daredevil innovator who propelled himself and the small town of Hammondsport full-throttle into the future. We might have expected this week’s podcast to be a discussion about motorcycles, airplanes, and all things Curtiss, only we were pleasantly surprised when the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum’s Executive Director, Carol Anne Adams, revealed aspects of the Curtiss story we had never known. 

Imagine sitting an arm’s-length from a four-thousand degree flame . . . on purpose! And deftly transforming rods of glass into beautiful, tangible representations of your imagination. This episode finds us behind the scenes at The Corning Museum of Glass chatting with talented flameworker Eric Goldschmidt about his passion for the flame.

Spend a little time in the country with a horse and you might be surprised at just how transformative the experience can be, as you connect with the nature, but also with yourself. This week’s What the FLX?! adventure takes us out to Mountain Rose Farm in Savona where we chat with Rachel and Emily about the peacefulness and serenity of the countryside. We’ll discuss the farm’s playful unofficial greeter, Lucas the Goat, as well as the various horseback riding experiences you can have (from lessons to trail rides).   

One of Corning’s strengths might just be its character. The way folks feel when they’re here and often long after they return home. This week’s podcast has us visiting with Nate and Marshall from Corning’s Gaffer District, a local destination marketing organization that is, at its very core, all about community and character.
