Sports are a big part of the Tampa Bay area, from kids to adults! On today's episode, I interview Ian Elston with Tampa Bay Club Sports.

TBCS run one of the largest sports leagues in the states, from kids all the way to old adults like me!

No matter what sport or "sport" (looking at you, cornhole!) you love to play, TBCS probably runs a league for it close to you no matter what part of the bay you're on.

We also chat about the Rec Dec, a local spot TBCS is working on opening on Gandy.

Few things spark as much imagination as a musical instrument. Give a toy guitar to a 4 year old and watch what happens. It's like we're both with music in our soul!

Also featuring music by Ania!

If you remember back to Episode 4, I love Italian. In episode 29, I discover and share my experience of a relative newcomer to the Tampa Italian food scene. When you walk in and everyone in the place is speaking Italian, you know you're in for something special.

Full Show Notes

Sure there are animal shelters around Tampa Bay, maybe that's where you adopted fluffy or rover. And sure, maybe you or someone you know volunteers at one, helping our furry friends out. But who helps the helpers?

SOAR, that's who. Suncoast Organized Animal Relief.

Stephen and Sharon manage an organization that fills the gaps. When shelters need help with food and supplies, they can turn to SOAR for the puppy food and cleanup supplies required to keep operating.

We also have a track from Carlos Strong and Tierinni called Apologize. Give the whole song a listen, I think you will be amazed at the talent in these two.
