SideDish Longmont

***QUICK PROMO: Come see us at a live podcast recoding at LMP on May 31 at 7 pm*****

What can we say, we absolutely smoked this episode. Come find out why David Barton, Longmont resident and founder of the BBQ accessory business, DripEZ, agrees that the thermometer is a very important tool (and Brady thinks Meater is clever copy), how he paid off his kids' college tuition and why he is amazed Longmont shuts down a US highway four times per year.

Better late than never, right? It's so long ago we can't remember what we discussed, but there was a lengthy sidebar about socks. Unmissable, really.

Everything you want to know and very little you need to know, as promised.

Oh and May 31, we will be hosting "An Evening with SideDish" together with Longmont Public Media to kick off their member drive week. Come see at LPM at 7 pm - music, comedy and other great entertainment.

It's a downer, upper kind of episode. We dont' leave out a Winchell's mention and Brady starts craving fried food. Quick and dirty from the basement.

So there’s a new coffee place up on Mountain View near Hover, Sandy’s (SandΨ’s). Some people call it “cute” or “vibey,” others call it “magical,” or “witchy.” (OK, those last two descriptions came from the owners, David and Nikki). After talking with them, I’d use the words “thoughtfully eclectic.” Listen to the show, and check the place out. Then, write to tell us your words for the place. 

In addition to SandΨ’s, they also talk about renovating a duplex, owning part of a canning operation, and raising a son… all at the same time. 

PS: ALERT: WINCHELL’S NEWS

Okay okay, yes. This is a little dated. But in this lil' hometown how quickly does the buzz really spoil. Surely news stays fresh at least a couple weeks, right?

Katy is the Publisher of Inside Longmont - That new, glossy Longmont magazine you’re seeing EVERYWHERE. She’s ebullient, passionate, and committed to paying writers and photographers for their work. The result is a gorgeous magazine that acts as a retreat from doom scrolling and headline weariness. 

Join us to hear the story of Inside Longmont!

It's just us! And some lite goss on the town. Nearly a week old now, this one, so hopefully none of it istoo expired!

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!
