An Ode to 845

THE EAGLE: A Times Union Podcast

The 845 area code has long been a hallmark of Hudson Valley pride and identity. But as of this week, there's a new number in town: 329. And as Alexandra Zissu reported recently, many people have big feelings about the addition of a second area code for the region. On this episode of "The Eagle," we'll sort through those feelings, and why many people (in the Hudson Valley and beyond) are so attached to these digits.

Also on this episode, we'll connect with Times Union dining critic Susie Davidson Powell for her take on the War Room Tavern, and how it satisfies the Capital City's craving for the mix of food and politics. And musician and comedian Erin Harkes talks about women in comedy and recording her new special.
