Guests: Jon Banco, Erik Marple

Local musician and promoter Jon Banco will sit down with me for the first hour of the show to discuss the struggles of local entertainers during the pandemic, and we’ll talk about what hopes he has for 2021 as far as live shows, festivals, and other events that have become traditions in the Upper Ohio Valley.

 

During the second segment, we’ll talk about the kids, and the impact this whole situation has had on them, their education, and their social skills, and how long it will take for them to adapt back to normal when Covid-19 is no longer such a threat.

 

Erik Marple is one of the owners of Eden Family Restaurant on Wheeling Island and we’ll talk about the eatery and its features, and the fact the Eden menu can be customized at a customer’s request.

 

The final segment of the show will offer some insight on LEDE News and the coverage that’s been offered recently and what to look for in the future. Plus, if it is possible, we may hear from one of our local lawmakers from Charleston, W.Va. to get the latest news on the Legislature’s regular session.
