A strong brand is so much more than just a logo. The best brands connect with our emotions, and become part of our routines. Alex Mazin and the rest of the staff of Bud’s Goods and Provisions understand that value and are striving to normalize the local cannabis culture with their new dispensary. Alex shares the story of how Bud’s was able to open during a pandemic, and plans for what’s next for the brand. Definitely a good episode for our buds.

We wish there were more people like Tim Garvin. Along with the amazing work that he has done with his team at the United Way Of Central Mass, he is Worcesters biggest fan, supporter, cheerleader, admirer, ect. The passion and work ethic that Tim brings to EVERYTHING he does, is nothing short of inspiring. Hearing Tim talk about the first time he ever saw Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, the time he met Joe Biden, saw U2 at the DCU Center (The Centrum at the time), were all amazing stories. Give this one a listen and get ready to understand what makes Worcester such a special place, its people like Tim Garvin.

We resolved our technical difficulties and kicked it old school this week! We both sat out on Travis's deck and record together for the same time since March!!! Big thanks to the gifts from Mark, New In The Woo, and Ashley! Ricky bought a couch! Both of us were on other podcasts last week and we touch on that as well!

Theres also Stokes & Pokes and our usual week in review. Party on!

Tanya Gelman is the founder of Albums And Colors, an Instagram account that is dedicated to dissecting the color pallet of some of her favorite albums of all time! Tanya gives us an inside look at her creative process, we talk about some of the records and what they mean to her, hear stories of house parties getting broken up during Man Overboard shows, and we hear about some of the bands that have reached out to her because of the account.

We have stokes and pokes, and Ricky has a decent amount of technical difficulties.
