In this very special episode of "Navel Gazing," the Valley Indy podcast, reporters Ethan Fry and Eugene Driscoll talk about running a race, going to a parade and the worst movies on the IMDB top ten list

Back in the year 2000 or so, New York City real estate tycoon Donald Trump was trying to build a golf course on the shores of Byram Lake, the drinking water for the Village of Mount Kisco, N.Y. about 45 miles north of the city.

Valley Indy reporter Eugene Driscoll, then a reporter with The Patent Trader, a weekly newspaper in Westchester County, N.Y., conducted a phone interview with Trump.

Driscoll found the cassette recording in a shopping bag in his basement in mid-November, and he and reporter Ethan Fry decided to turn the old recording into a podcast, complete with commentary.

Enjoy.

Donald Trump won the popular vote in the lower Naugatuck Valley, and voters threw out two incumbent Democrats on the state level.

Yet they also voted for one of the most progressive members of the U.S. House of Representatives -- Rosa DeLauro -- and they chose to stick with U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, another Democrat.

In this episode of "Navel Gazing: The Valley Indy Podcast," Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller, a Republican, and Ansonia's Tarek Raslan, a Democrat, join local reporters Eugene Driscoll and Ethan Fry for a wide-ranging discussion on the state and federal races, and where the country goes from here.
