A Bernstein Family Legacy: Steamboats, Stories, and Startups
The inaugural episode of Ramblin on the River, presented by BB Riverboats, starts with a nostalgic look at summertime in the Ohio River Valley. Hosts Ben, Terri, and Alan Bernstein introduce themselves and the podcast, which will chronicle the stories and history of the Bernstein family's journey in Cincinnati's hospitality and riverboat businesses. Detailed anecdotes include Alan's youth in Ecuador, the origins of the family's restaurant business, and the eventual inception of BB Riverboats. Highlights include a humorous tale of a mistranslation in a speech, a recount of Alan's impromptu job on the Delta Queen, and a discussion on rail jumping incidents. The episode sets the stage for future explorations of family stories, riverboat life, and the rich history of their entrepreneurial ventures.
