Big Locals Podcast

I love it when an astonishing art piece is not only captivating, but the interview with the creator, Maria Cannata, is captivating as well.  Maria and her design business Freckle Bean Creations @frecklebeandecals have evolved over time to produce some of the most genuine, personal, and downright home-y creations from window decals, stickers, shirts, and (my personal favorite medium) woodworks.

After discovering the piece designed by Maria, I had to get her on the show. Her passion for these creations shine through and create this aura of humility and coziness in your home. Even while working a day job, Maria still dedicates time to her craft and produces commissioned work for the clients of the local communities.

Moon Raccoon Baking Company @moonraccoonbakingco is ready to take on the world one pastry at a time. From tahini chocolate chip vegan cookies to sticky buns to muffins, in these uncertain times, Kate and Zoe put their experience and passion into their business and give it all to provide quality baked goods for the local communities! Stoked to have you listen to on the @biglocalspodcast.

But Moon Raccoon is not your average bakery: you're looking at a company who is very aware and conscious of the communal mindset and the misrepresentation of the Indigenous community. Kate and Zoe reached out to Jesse from Sfoglina (BLP episode 5!) and Elizabeth from Cate's Pet Food to collaborate and bring something a little more to the people. Additionally, their work with the Indigenous community Spirit of the Sun is something all businesses should be striving for: not just to accept the community's support, but to support the community.

The dream-team of Ryan Nicholson and Carrie Smith, hosts of the @hashtagcoloradolife, shed light on the wondrous state that is Colorado in this episode of @biglocalspodcast. Hashtag Colorado Life (HCL) is a travel blog/podcast that features some of the greatest events, historical nuggets, and local businesses for the newcomers and residences of Colorado alike. Throughout each episode of the HCL podcast, Ryan and Carrie have a great chemistry that makes you feel like you’ve known them for years, and the amount of research and effort they put into each episode will have you binging their whole podcast library.

The conversation with Ryan delves into much more than the podcast itself. We also talk about the influx of transplants in Colorado, the “keep it wild” mentality, and the effects of COVID in this unprecedented winter season. This episode is a little off the beaten path where we talk about some local businesses outside of Denver, but nonetheless, we’re here to help out those business’ voices that should be louder. Be sure to SHOP LOCAL during this holiday season! I know I will.

Born of the pandemic season and cultivated as a project to support the Black Lives Matter movement, Jesse Albertini’s creation Sfoglina (@sfoglinadenver) introduces handmade pastas to the community featuring wheat berries grown in the plains of Colorado and Utah. 

Sfoglina (meaning a woman who rolls and spreads dough pasta) features several textures and shapes of pasta while experimenting with natural additives such as beets (check out the beautiful beet fusilli)! The heartiness of the pasta has a flavor of its own, but you should browse  Jesse’s blog at https://sfoglinadenver.com/blogs/news which provides great recipes for her pastas that enhance the already-bold Italian pastime.

But the conversation is much more than just pasta. We talk about her donations to charity, her support system with her family and with other collaborateurs (is that a word?), and her life as a new mom. Thanks for listening to episode 5 of the Big Locals Podcast (@biglocalspodcast)!
