About this episode

This episode explores the legacy of public service within families at the New York State Department of Transportation.

For a lot of people, DOT is not just a job - it's part of their family story. From watching their parents suit up to respond to storms, or hearing about projects at the dinner table, these are people who learned at a very young age that public service isn't glamorous, but it truly matters, and that's why they are proud to carry forward that tradition of service. In this episode, Josh and Anya spoke with one of these families as they welcomed in Dick Anger and his granddaughter Brittany Dudek who are a part of three generations here at the New York State Department of Transportation .
