In this episode of The GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Dolly Throckmorton and Bret Moore sit down with Joe Mahoney (Executive Director of the Gaiser Center) and Dr. C. Thomas Brophy (Medical Director of the Gaiser Center) to share some big news for our community...the Gaiser Center is opening a new treatment facility in Carmichaels, PA in 2026!
Joe and Dr. Brophy explain how the Gaiser Center treats drug and alcohol addiction through custom-tailored, evidence-based care, with programs offering up to 90-day stays and a strong focus on preventing relapse and reintegrating individuals back into the community. They also share their personal motivations for working in addiction treatment, discuss how social stigmas are slowly breaking down, and why punishment-based approaches simply don’t work.
From the realities of alcohol abuse post-COVID to thoughtful discussions on cannabis, accountability, and the human experience of addiction, this episode offers hope, education, and a clear message: recovery is possible, and help is coming to Greene County.

In this delicious episode of The GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Shelly Brown and Dolly Throckmorton sit down with Troy Hellen, owner and operator of What’s Smokin’ BBQ, to talk about his journey from military service and retail management to running one of Greene County’s favorite food trucks.
Troy shares the behind-the-scenes story of launching a family-run business during the height of COVID, the inspiration behind the name, and the ups and downs of food truck life, from warmer malfunctions to a story about nacho cheese. With the help from his wife, daughter, and son, What’s Smokin’ BBQ has become a fixture at local farmers markets, festivals, weddings, and pop-ups all over the county.
He also gives a peek into the dedication it takes to perfect slow-smoked meats, the secrets behind their house-made rubs and sauces, and the menu items that didn’t quite work (looking at you, pork tacos). This episode is packed with flavor, family, and the fiery passion it takes to build a legacy, one smoked brisket at a time.
