On the I Love Buffalo Podcast, host Josh Ketry breaks down the past, present, and future of the Queen City through a perspective you won’t find anywhere else. As a jiu jitsu coach, entrepreneur, and lifelong Buffalonian, Josh offers a raw and unfiltered take on the forces shaping this city on the lake.

Here, no topic is off limits. From local news and sports rivalries to high-profile crime, political corruption, philosophy, and everything in between.  Josh dives in with curiosity and candor. Every episode is a deep conversation about where Buffalo has been, where it’s headed, and what it is going to take to build something better.
