Have you ever wondered what it's like to transition from the world of shaping a community through politics to savoring its delights as a private citizen? Virginia Bass joins us to share her intimate journey from the chambers of public office back to the heart of Humboldt County's cherished local haunts. Listen as we unravel stories of Virginia's father, OH Bass, and his indelible mark on the local restaurant scene, revealing a tapestry of personal history and culinary legacy that has flavored our community since the 1950s.

Picture this: a small-town airport where planes would delay takeoff for latecomers and celebrities mix with the locals. Our episode takes off with a trove of tales from Humboldt County's airport, painting a portrait of the past where punctuality and kindness ruled the runway. Join us for a flight of anecdotes that capture the shared laughter, occasional TSA scares, and the genuine connections that emerge amidst the comings and goings of our unique transport hub. It's a reminder that when it comes to community spirit, we're all on the same journey.

But that's not all—tune in as Virginia and I chew over the current state of Humboldt County politics, affordable housing, and the challenges of keeping friendships afloat amidst political differences. Cap off the conversation with a quiz on the best local eats and a heartfelt discussion on the legacies we hope to leave behind. Stick with us for an episode that's as rich and satisfying as the food scene we celebrate, underscored by a commitment to bring you tales that resonate with the soul of Humboldt County.
