Guests Kenny Mann of Acacia Moyo - Where Tradition Meets Technology  and photojournalist Doug Kuntz spoke of Africa, refugees, humanity, and  connection. It was such a glorious day, we taped outside of Estia's on the Bridgehampton-Sag Turnpike.... Although the show was poignant and profound, it was great to see old friends.

Amagansett resident Kevin McAllister, Founder and President of DefendH2O,  has professional environmental experience that spans 30 years. 

His expertise is in the biological sciences and coastal zone management.  He has received over 15 awards from government, media, civic and environmental organizations  for personal accomplishments in natural  resources conservation.

Prior to his current role as chief executive of DefendH2O, Kevin served for 16 years as the founder and leader of Peconic Baykeeper | Protecting Long Island's Waters. Water resources protection and coastal adaptation are Kevin's primary focus. 

Talking with chef, raconteur, arts benefactor, and fisherman Colin Ambrose, coming to you from Estia's Little Kitchen in Sag Harbor. Colin is one of the founders of the Slow Food movement on the East End, and host of American Rivers Tour, a video blog of his adventures fishing and cooking over a fire on some of America's most beautiful waterways.

Allan Zola Kronzek  is an author, educator, and sleight-of-hand artist. He is the author of six magic-centric books, including the NY Times Bestseller "The  Sorcerer’s Companion—a Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter" (co-authored with his daughter, Elizabeth), and most recently, of  "Grandpa Magic," a treasury of tricks, stunts, puzzles and brainteasers, designed to make grandpa the coolest guy on the block.

Prior to his current career, he was a freelance writer, a jazz DJ, and general manager of a classic rock radio station on Eastern Long Island. He occasionally performs close-up magic at private functions, and  socially at the drop of a hat.

"Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down To Sleep" were huge hits for Sophie -- but all she really wanted was to be the best drummer ever. When she was a kid, she didn't want to be a songwriter. "I wanted to be a song," she told us. Listen to journalist Bridget LeRoy and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Alec Sokolow as they talk to Sophie about her creative process and her continuing journey.

This week our guest is Eric Lemonides, co-owner of Almond Restaurant & Bar and L & W Market in Bridgehampton.

In his early teens, Eric was allowed to go to two places without supervision — his uncle’s restaurant, which was right downstairs, or La Gamelle, a nearby French Bistro owned by friends of his dad. At La Gamelle he would sit at the bar, eating steak frites, drinking Pepsi with a splash of red wine, and making small talk with the bartenders and regulars at the age of 13. It was on those nights that he realized how much he loved being in restaurants and that it was the restaurant world in which he would make his mark.

Years later, he walked into the newly-opened Della Femina looking for a waiter position and walked away the new general manager, which became  the stepping stone for his next position as general manager of F.illi  Ponte in Tribeca. Following F.illi Ponte, Eric opened Pacific East in Amagansett and Chelsea, as well as the original Market in the  Meatpacking District. He opened Lunch on Hudson Street in 2000 and successfully ran it until selling it in 2001 so he and childhood friend Jason Weiner could open Almond.

We're looking forward to talking with Eric about his total coolness and  the creative process involved in restaurants, food, entrepreneurship,  and life.

The Spur is the first private co-working space and innovation lab in the Hamptons, and Ashley John Heather, one of the partners responsible for getting it up and running, along with another local company i-hamptons.com, will be our guest this Sunday.

"It's like WeWork and SoHo House had a baby at the beach," Ashley said. The Spur offers more than a workspace — it hosts panels, health and wellness and kids' programs, Mentorship Mondays, and the already highly popular "Shark Tank"-like "Riptide $ink or $wim". 

Curious? Tune in with Bridget and Alec to learn more and listen in as we discuss innovation, technology, entrepreneurship, and The  Spur's role in the future of the Southampton landscape.

This week our guest is East Hampton resident Kate Mueth, founder of the avant-garde theater group The Neo-Political Cowgirls and instigator of "January Girls" at Guild Hall of East Hampton, a free weekly workshop this month for girls and women of all ages, led by a different artist each week, helping to find community,  self-expression, and support across generations.
