Ready for something different? On this episode of Cidiot®, you’ll hear from John Burton, host of the popular podcast “Home From Here.” Hear John’s history from Rhinebeck to New York City to Westchester—and his plans to get back up here to the HV. As John explains, he wants to get back to his people. The people of the Hudson Valley are “Sophisticated and simple at the same time, smart and funny at the same time.” John puts it all out there. We talk about his wife’s incredible cancer journey, his own challenges with mental health, music in the Hudson Valley, and the Lifted Project - coming up Sunday, April 6, at the Center for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck. It’s a unique one-day musical experience bringing together a huge group of musicians to perform original music to support and provide visibility for four amazing nonprofits. Tickets are just $25. Towards the end, we also discussed our idea for a ‘Cidiot Immersion Class,’ which I really want to do, and we even started to program its curriculum. Let me know if you’re game to help. Meanwhile, act quickly for tickets for Sunday, April 6:The Lifted Project: https://liftedproject.org/ Venues mentioned:Paula’s Runway Cafe Airport (Beacon) The Rhine Cellar (Rhinebeck)Barton Orchards (Pougquague) Joseph’s Italian Steakhouse, Hyde ParkHudson Valley Musicians Facebook Group  Also:Mat on Home from Here show - episode 217 (MixCloud) or More Links (the show's website)Valley Girls Podcast (thank you for introducing us)Thanks for listening to Cidiot, the award-winning podcast about moving from the city to the Hudson Valley.  Come visit.©2025 Mat Zucker Communications.
