PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - For over 30 years, WQED’s Rick Sebak has made many programs about Pittsburgh, but “Kennywood Memories” is the one most go to when they have to pick a favorite.
The 1988 release has the perfect mix of history, nostalgia and unique characters you can only find in Pittsburgh.
Since it’s been over 30 years, Sebak decided he would take a look at the over 40 hours of footage that didn’t make it into the original “Kennywood Memories” and would create a “new” program.
The result is “That Kennywood Summer”, the latest in the crowd-funded “Nebby” series.
Sebak tells KDKA Radio the new program that debuted Thursday has gotten more buzz online than any other program he can remember in recent years.
