Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music. Singles event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/singles-meet-up-juniper-goods-tickets-1299988904809?utm_experiment=test_share_li…

So there’s a new coffee place up on Mountain View near Hover, Sandy’s (SandΨ’s). Some people call it “cute” or “vibey,” others call it “magical,” or “witchy.” (OK, those last two descriptions came from the owners, David and Nikki). After talking with them, I’d use the words “thoughtfully eclectic.” Listen to the show, and check the place out. Then,…

Okay okay, yes. This is a little dated. But in this lil' hometown how quickly does the buzz really spoil. Surely news stays fresh at least a couple weeks, right? Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.

We can't expect Brady to do both the interview AND write the blurb, can we? But don't knock him for it. This is a great interview with Shauna Hylenski of The Climbing Collective. They talk climbing, they talk Winter Fest, they talk the Ice Climbing Championship. It's rises to the top.... Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro an…

Adam remembers the way things were. In the 90s, Longmont only held around 50,000 people. Imagine it! The post office was big enough to handle everyone, people rode horses on 17th (yes, for real), and we read the WHOLE newspaper articles… not just the headlines. It was a completely different world, and one Adam wants to invoke at the Herald. Learn a…

Mike likes two things: coffee and bikes. Or rather, Mike is manic about coffee and bikes. In fact, Mike is SO obsessed with coffee there was almost no time to talk about bikes. We cover the business of good beans: ethical sourcing, natural vs washed, roasting, and more. And, we cover how to enjoy those fancy beans without pretense: how to brew good…

(First, apologies for the sound issues at the beginning... it gets better, promise.) You ever ask yourself, “Self, how do I meet people?” If you do, you’re not alone, though you’re kind of a weirdo for saying “Self,” like that. Sorry, we didn’t mean to call you out. It’s OK, weirder things. Anyway, lots of people struggle to find new people to talk…

You know… like the tool (a scythe is basically a long handle with a curved blade at the end). Scythes were like the very first lawn mower. You swing that curved blade parallel to the earth, and voila, grass haircut. Scythes dominated for THOUSANDS of years. Then I guess at some point this really grim dude stole all of them and we had to start makin…

We're attempting a portmanteau, you know, where you smash a couple of words together. What do you think? The idea is that we take “buzz,” like our buzz around town, and then we pair it with “cut,” because we’ve cut out the buzz and it is now a standalone episode for your enjoyment. That’s right, this is just buzz - no interview. And we think BUZZCU…

Today we’re joined by the upstairs neighbors! Or, maybe they’re like the landlords or something? Whatever, I’ll think about it.

And before we skulk off to the cellar (where the podcast studio lives) we often bump into Sergio Angeles and/or Na…

Is that what we’ve come to? I mean, it’s just the two of us, hanging out in a basement… talking about body service? I guess so, Yeah. But, where else are you going to get updates on Winchell’s? And yeah, there’s actually news on Winchell’s. Real news. Hand on heart. Actually, there’s kind of a lot of news. We can even report that Longmont’s version…

Wait, vintage? Are we talking about wine, reading glasses… or about some kinda neo-retro fashion? All of it (obviously) plus a lot of coffee talk. Weird mix, you say? Well, todays’ guest, Emily Luebcke, can sum it up in two words, “Juniper Goods.” Juniper Goods is her soon-to-open clothing boutique / coffee shop / wine bar / community space. Yeah, …

Can we live humbly and still post that photo on Instagram? In the digital age, humility isn't so straightforward. With the smartphone at our fingertips, is pride just one selfie away? Many of tech’s biggest names have been anything but humble. Tesla, Edison, Jobs, Zuckerberg, Musk. Does that mean their inventions will re-make us in their image? Or …

We're joined once again by Naomi of Longmont Dish. You know, the local Instagram account that dishes about dishes... and that means TONS of restaurant talk!

Today we are joined by Giovanni Leone and Zach Nassar, a couple of the main players in Johnson's Station, a COMPLETE renovation and repurposing of that crazy old gas station in Prospect. This one almost feels like some kind of SEO effort... in addition to Prospect, we talk rooftop bars, pickleball, outdoor drinks, and summer concerts. We also specu…

Can we live simply without tossing our smartphone-life in the trash? We found answers in Sister Act II and walk-in closets. This season, we're doing something new, and it begins with the virtue of Simplicity. We live in a complex world. Can technology help simplify it? Or does it only make things worse? Chris and Adam look at Simplicity in the face…
