8 Things you didn’t know about Sarah Cody
Favorite memory/story from working in TV news?
Kayaking around the Statue of Liberty or flying in a helicopter over the cranberry bogs in Cape Cod. I also absolutely loved taping a holiday segment at the Connecticut Science Center with my two sons. They were Secret Agents on a mission for fun – complete with James Bond music. It was great.
What inspired you to work in news?
I grew-up outside of Boston and looked-up to all of the local newswomen. I thought they were so cool! When I was in college, I was fascinated by government, law and performance. A job in TV news included all of those interests!
What is your favorite restaurant in New Haven?
Pepe’s Pizza or Shake Shack! Two of my boys faves, as well!
Who is your favorite musician/band and/or best concert you ever been to?
I love Dave Matthews (who performed to a small crowd at Trinity College when I was a student there!), Ed Sheeran and David Gray.
Best concert I’ve attended? U2 or Madonna, for sure!
What’s the best dish you can make?
Confession: I’m a terrible cook. But, I manage to make a decent Pasta Fagioli in the crock pot that doesn’t usually poison anyone.
If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
Italy! I studied there in college…and I miss it.
What’s something you don’t know about me?
I’ve interviewed Ozzie Osbourne and Mark Wahlberg. Debbie Reynolds and I got along like old friends.
What are your hobbies / hidden talents?
Try to beat me at ping pong. Just try.
