SideDish Longmont

Brady and Annie have Andrea and Matt pop in to talk about the Longmont Writer's Group which meets at the Longmont Public Library on Mondays from 6pm to 7:30pm. We discuss writing in a coffee shop, explore different writing methods and inspirations, and ask the ultimate question: Can you judge a book by its cover?

Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.

Join us as we discuss potatoes, bears, a couple new coffee shops coming to town, and give an update on the recent robotics decision for local schools. It wouldn't be a Longmont podcast if we didn't talk about planes, and trains, but good luck guessing how that ties into the final topic.

Shakeel is back already. He brings us some very stiff (board news) and exciting fodder (airport gossip) from around Longmont. We have a few buzzy comments to kick things off and then we get rolling around the horn on new City Board opportunities. You will be thrilled. Join us.

We are joined by Steve Lane with BAS1S, a true Longmont Local with a love for the town he has helped design. Steve shares insights on building codes, the good the bad and the ugly, and gets deep with us on insulation. He also spills the beans on the upcoming 6th and Main public plaza, a very exciting new development for downtown.

We're long form today. A disheveled Shakeel joins us and brings three electric topics from around Longmont: e-things that go, carbon credits/progress on renewable goals, and official news about devices/screen time from the school district. We've got some buzz in there too. It's a longer episode but worth the listen.

Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.
