SideDish Longmont – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Part 1 of 4. Recorded live from the Public Policy Plaza at Unity in the Community on Friday, August 22nd.

In the first segment Annie and Brady sit down with Scott Cook, the CEO of the Longmont Chamber of Commerce who introduces the event, what we're doing here, and never brought us ice cream.

Some quick buzz, then we're talking to Claire Levy (Boulder County Commissioner), Marta Loachamin (District 2 Commissioner) , and Diane Christ (City Council Ward 1).

Longmont Local: Matt Zwiebel of DayTrip Town Carts 

SideDish sits down to talk carts, and gets side tracked. Are you in the market for a new vehicle? Do you drive less than 35 miles each day? You’re gonna want to hear what Matt has to say. 

In other “news,” swimming in McIntosh, Matt and Brady talk Radiohead, and Rhythm at Roosevelt. 

Where would you drive your DayTrip Town Cart? 

Join us and Matt Friday, August 22nd at Unity in the Community. SideDish will be interviewing candidates for the upcoming mayoral and city council elections. The show starts at 4pm.

***QUICK PROMO: Come see us at a live podcast recoding at LMP on May 31 at 7 pm*****

What can we say, we absolutely smoked this episode. Come find out why David Barton, Longmont resident and founder of the BBQ accessory business, DripEZ, agrees that the thermometer is a very important tool (and Brady thinks Meater is clever copy), how he paid off his kids' college tuition and why he is amazed Longmont shuts down a US highway four times per year.

Annie, Brady and Eric are back after a long hiatus (vacation).  We're honored to have family members of Eloyeda (Lou) Cardenas and property developer Jennifer Peterson on the show this week.  They discuss Lou's impact in Longmont, her legacy, and the new buildiing development, Casa Lou Cardenas, on the corner of 9th and Main.

On the Buzz portion of the show, the trio celebrates the grand opening of Landline Doughnuts, Sweet Cow,  and Longmont's milestone. 

As always, Brady waxes on about foods he once ate in the midwest.

New Episodes coming in late June.  Thanks for listening!  sidedishlongmont@gmail.com

The trio discusses a lack of donuts in Longmont with the temporary closing of Winchells and the wait for Landline Doughnuts.  The gang discusses Sushi Box (near Hover and 17th) and the opening of Indian Bites and LoCo Burrito on Francis.  Annie has a kid free day of shopping downtown at A florae and Barbedwire Books.

Finally, Annie is looking to win the decorating contest at the Thompson Park Forth of July Festival.  Submit your ideas to sidedishlongmont@gmail.com.  Goodness knows, Brady and Eric don't have any good ideas.

Brady and Eric interview Sarah Kupec of Moose Meals while Annie fights with the updates on her computer after re-booting -- haven't we all been there?  She joins the duo just in time to allow Eric to say he was incorrect about the Brewing Market's opening date in Longmont.  It opened back in 1999! Guess Eric owes Annie $5 for losing that bet.  Other tidbits include a choice between a bowl cut and mullet, Heil Valley Ranch re-opening, Friday night concerts and First Wednesday happy hours.  Lots of technical mayhem here on today's SideDish.

Today the trio dives deep into affordable and attainable housing with guest Eric Wallace who, when he's not advocating for affordable workforce housing, is the co-founder and co-ownerof Left Hand Brewing Company.

Listen to the interview and stay for the usual banter about traffic, rants about parklets, and Pittsburgh pizza.  Is that a thing?

Annie and Eric are without Brady (he's the funny one) this week so they resort to talking about lots of stuff -Rick Steves, travel, honey and gardening.  Thank goodness they are joined by Ethel Lazarte Gonzales who discusses her company, Peruvian Immersion.  Ethel tells us about how her father's values played an integral role in showing others her passion for Peru and its culture.  This Spanish immersion program not only helps those learn the language but is a bridge to understanding, compassion, and culture sharing. Peruvian Immersion received a top prize from EforAll at a recent pitch contest.
