Saratoga Springs, N.Y. – Discover Saratoga, the official Tourism Promotion Agency for Saratoga County, is excited to announce the launch of Season 2 of its podcast, Destination Saratoga: All Access, premiering today, Friday, January 16, 2026. New episodes will drop every Friday through April 24, continuing the show’s mission of spotlighting the people, places, and stories that define Saratoga County as a vibrant, year-round destination.

Hosted by MacKenzie Zarzycki, Vice President of Marketing & Communications for Discover Saratoga, the podcast offers listeners a behind-the-scenes look at local businesses, cultural institutions, community leaders, and seasonal happenings throughout the county.

“Season 1 showed us how much people enjoy hearing authentic, long-form stories about Saratoga County,” said Zarzycki. “With Season 2, we’re building on that momentum by introducing even more voices, experiences, and perspectives that truly capture what makes our region so special.”

Last season featured conversations with notable guests including Julie Bonacio, Alane Ball Chinian, Maddy Zanetti, Tom Durkin and Ramon Dominguez, along with the highly successful After Hours with Saratoga Living segment featuring Saratoga Living editor Natalie Moore. Due to strong viewership and positive audience feedback, Discover Saratoga will continue its partnership with Saratoga Living in 2026.

“Our Saratoga Living After Hours newsletter has become a resource for Saratogians who want to be on top of all the latest and hottest local happenings, and last year, we were so excited to bring our content to new audiences through the Destination Saratoga: All Access podcast,” said Saratoga Living Editor Natalie Moore. “This season, we’ll be broadcasting our After Hours with Saratoga Living episodes straight from two of our favorite after-hours hangouts: Henry Street Taproom and Kindred. And yes, cocktails will be involved!”
