A bit about...
TOWNS & TALES

Perhaps the most famous Small Town NY tale...
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

    One of the things that initially attracted me to travel in the first place was hearing about a town's legends, myths and folklore.
    I remember my Grandmother buying me a series of Readers Digest condensed books on this subject when I was about 5 and it really was the proverbial carrot that led me straight into my love of travel and stories.
    Jump ahead a few decades, and those very same myths, legends and lore are something that I began running into immediately when I started my first travel show back in Sonoma, California in 2014.
    And although my first few shows didn't really have the correct format for such stories, I made sure that someday, I would start to really dig into them and get them out to the public. And on Small Town WNY I'm now doing just that.
     I hope you enjoy these as much as I had discovering them and doing the research to bring them to you here on the site and in and on the companion papers and podcasts to the PBS TV episodes. ~AA

MY ONE-MAN MEDIA CO.

Established in the San Francisco Bay Area of California in the heady-mix of the earliest days of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Google way back in 2004, A. A. Augustine's Media Co. was incubated for 3 years as a "retro-style", traditional and digital media company. The company officially launched in 2007 and since then, has gone on to create and produce multiple children's, tween and teen book series as well as their accompanying hard and soft product lines, podcasts and gobs of music and comic strips and of course, my flagship, kids and regional travel series encompassing over 300 episodes which have been broadcast on PBS, My Network TV, COZI-TV, KOFY, AMG and RTV as well as hundreds of smaller, local stations all across the US.
