I'm fortunate that within the event planning industry as well as the wedding industry to have so many different talented people that we can showcase. So we will have probably a, a videographer on board that does amazing work and not just.

Locally, but nationally. And then we'll also have a, uh, cake decorator who has been on Home Net or the Food Network and has won so many first place awards because her cakes are like masterpieces. And I'm talking each cake for every wedding that I've done. And I've used her. In fact, she's my preferred vendor for Northeast, Northwest Arkansas.

So it's gonna be fun to talk with her, to get her take. And there's some little secrets that I know about her work that I can't share with you, so I'll let her share those with you. And it's just amazing what we're gonna be able to showcase from Arkansas and connections there.

And then in October, we're going to feature a lot of Nashville connections. And this, you know, when you think of Nashville, you think of country music. All genres of music are evident in Nashville. And once you're there and you get to meet people, it's, it's fun to see what, what you discover.

On our recent episode, we had the pleasure of highlighting the latest addition to the IHG Hotels & Resorts' portfolio – the Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina. Part of their luxury segment, this splendid five-story, 124-room hotel is a proud new presence in Florida's historic waterfront district of Panama City.  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPPKR6pT9GM Samantha Spain is an asset to the property and was a great guest.

Located within walking distance from a wide range of local restaurants, bars, and town fixtures, Hotel Indigo also offers guests easy access to cultural hubs like the Martin Theatre and the Panama City Center for the Arts. It's truly nestled in the heart of a thriving artistic community, making it an exciting focal point of our discussion.

Adding to its charm, the hotel stands as a hidden jewel along St. Andrews Bay, a rich haven for marine life that spans over 20 miles. We also discussed the stark beauty of the saltwater flats, seagrass beds, and deep channels – marking it as one of the most diverse fishing grounds in the Florida Panhandle. We think our listeners who love outdoor activities will find the idea of exploring this place by boat and kayak quite appealing.

A distinguishing factor about the Hotel Indigo brand, which we discussed, is that no two properties are alike. In keeping with this spirit, the Panama City property offers a distinct experience compared to the more familiar Panama City Beach, creating a quieter, yet equally vibrant ambiance.

The hotel's design, heavily inspired by its seaside location and the history of the town, particularly captured our interest. The nautical-themed fixtures and installations, derived from the indigo plants that once populated the shorelines, reflect the locality's unique identity. Moreover, the hotel also pays homage to Panama City’s original residents like Harry Felix, whose artistic influence shaped the local community.

As we touched on the hotel's strategic location near the marina, we noted its two fresh restaurant and bar concepts, Tarpons and Steam on 5, sure to become neighborhood favorites. Offering a Southern twist on coastal cuisine and handcrafted cocktails, these are spots we believe our listeners would enjoy.

We couldn't overlook the range of amenities the hotel provides, such as a fitness center, outdoor pool, and a firepit overlooking the bay, among others. Plus, it's in close proximity to major local attractions including Panama City Beach and educational institutions like Florida State University’s Panama City campus, Gulf Coast State College, and more.

Wrapping up the episode, we shared insightful comments from Carol Hoeller, Vice President of Hotel Indigo, and Jean Capps, General Manager, Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina. Both expressed their enthusiasm about the hotel's potential to reenergize the neighborhood and create a gathering spot for guests and locals to immerse themselves in the community’s vibrant past. Their passion left us eagerly anticipating what Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina has in store.

One of the nation's foremost showcases of blues music — as it's referred to in its online overview — is ready to party.

Like many other events, the festival shut down for two years due to covid.

"Helena-West Helena and surrounding Phillips County will be bustling for the King Biscuit Blues Festival 2023  - Munnie Jordan tells us all about it.

The festival takes place for three full days — Thursday-Saturday in historic downtown Helena on the banks of the Mississippi River — but kicks off with a "Warm Up Wednesday," 

The King Biscuit Blues Festival, founded in 1986, is one of the nation’s foremost showcases of blues music. Tens of thousands of blues enthusiasts converge on historic downtown Helena, Arkansas to hear stirring and uplifting performances of an American art form on the banks of the Mississippi River.

As the home of “King Biscuit Time,” the longest running radio show ever, Helena became legendary in the Delta. First broadcast in 1941, Sonny Boy Williamson II and Robert Lockwood Jr. played live in the studio as the “King Biscuit Entertainers.” Pinetop Perkins and James Peck Curtis later joined the band. The musicians played on KFFA every weekday, pausing for King Biscuit Flour commercials and announcements of their next nighttime performances.

New episodes each Wednesday 1 PM CST

Chase Miller Explains how it all began and how it all works
Tired of working out in a crowded gym? Frustrated having to wait in line for weights? Reserve a home gym all to yourself and workout privately or with a friend. 
Remove the barriers that big box gyms have built up over time by creating a private, simple, and convenient gym experience where Gymers (users) feel comfortable exercising 
Think of it as AirBnb for a home gym 

Here’s some of the criteria:
- the gym has to be separated from the home owners living area
-third car garage with a wall
-basement
-completely separate facility
-etc.

- the gym has to have a separate entrance to access it specifically

- the gym has to have some form of cardio

- the gym has to have some form of strength
