We can't expect Brady to do both the interview AND write the blurb, can we? But don't knock him for it. This is a great interview with Shauna Hylenski of The Climbing Collective. They talk climbing, they talk Winter Fest, they talk the Ice Climbing Championship. It's rises to the top....

Adam remembers the way things were. In the 90s, Longmont only held around 50,000 people. Imagine it! The post office was big enough to handle everyone, people rode horses on 17th (yes, for real), and we read the WHOLE newspaper articles… not just the headlines. It was a completely different world, and one Adam wants to invoke at the Herald. Learn about old Longmont, longform journalism, and the art of headlines. Check it out!

Mike likes two things: coffee and bikes. Or rather, Mike is manic about coffee and bikes. In fact, Mike is SO obsessed with coffee there was almost no time to talk about bikes. We cover the business of good beans: ethical sourcing, natural vs washed, roasting, and more. And, we cover how to enjoy those fancy beans without pretense: how to brew good coffee at home, why some beans are “oily,” washed vs natural varieties, and the slippery slope of good coffee. 

Grab a big ‘ol cuppa joe and dive in!

Longmont Political intrigue (kinda),  multi-use path news, Coffman Street progress, talk of Juniper Goods, and Panda Bandits. Also, we’ve both been sick. Like, super sick. This year, it feels like nobody has been spared. But, we’re better now and ready for your ears.

Do you know where the oldest house in Longmont lives? We do! Well, we do now - Elizabeth told us. She also told us about the oldest, continuously running restaurant. And, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For someone who hasn’t been in Longmont all that long, she knows a TON of history. Oh! And she wants your old photos. Like - have you got some pics from the 90s sitting around? Yeah, the museum might want those. Find out why!

This Buzz episode is literally a week old, but better late than never, right? Especially on this snowy post-election day. Hopefully, you can cozy up with some hot cocoa, take your mind off election results, and indulge in our favorite topic…. the Longmont hot goss! Restaurants, a new Longmont news source, rumors. Enjoy.
