Geronimo flies solo this week as he interviews DC-based style blogger, Diego Downtown. They talk about Diego’s love of DC, how his work and that of other DC fashion bloggers helps change the perception of the Nation’s Capital lacking style, and how to stand out in the oversaturated blogosphere. #NecessaryListening

This week's guest is Randi Gloss, founder of the GLOSSRAGS clothing line + And Counting series - A collection of t-shirts honoring black victims of police violence and increasing awareness through what she's coined "wearable activism". Our conversation runs the gamut of her work as a social entrepreneur and activist, maintaining good mental health while on the front lines, her picks for top social moments online, and lessons she's learned in the almost four years she's been a business owner. #NecessaryListening

You may have never attended a Trillectro music festival but you probably know the name. We invited the festival co-founder, Modi Oyewole, to the Full Service Radio studio this week to learn more about the brand's evolution from one-day music festival to bi-coastal event series, his college radio show turned blog (DCtoBC), Geronimo and Modi's days as Rock Creek Social Club co-founders, and how digital marketing and communications have allowed him to criss-cross the US over the past ten years. We even got a mini 2017 recap on this episode with some of our picks in sneakers, the NBA and music. #NecessaryListening

Michell (pronounced Mih-kell) C. Clark is a Social Media Influencer + Expert + Curator. Geronimo and Matt talked with him about the meaning of "influencer," why it's become a dirty word, his ascent from full-time employee to creative entrepreneur, the potential effects Net Neutrality could have on us, starting a music blog (Artistic Manifesto) while he was a cadet at West Point, the social media ecosystem, what he could give up on a 30-Day Culture Fast, and much more. #NecessaryListening

Two episodes in one week? This is correct. We had to make a minor schedule adjustment but you can still expect new episodes on Tuesdays as usual. This was our first episode recording from our new home at Full Service Radio inside The LINE Hotel's DC location (opens January 2018).

Geronimo and Matt decided to kick things off with June Sanders, product designer for DTLR and Villa. Whether you live in the DMV or not, many of you are familiar with his work - From creating the staple Luxe-T of the 2000s to recent brand collaborations with New Balance, Asics and Timberland to name a few. We learn more about his path to holding this role at the urban apparel retailer and we talked about the DMV's influence within the fashion industry, sneaker resellers, how shoe design is the new way for different regions to display their individual style. You should expect a part two of this conversation in the future. #NecessaryListening

Episode 53 led us to the Adams Morgan neighborhood in DC with multimedia artist + father, Kevin Chambers aka Flash Frequency. This brother has done a lot and has much to say. We cover everything from growing up in Texas and then moving to the DC area, how he got his start in music production and graphic design, a nerd out moment between he and Backpack Matt where they talk all things coding, major music media not completely understanding the DMV music scene, bitcoin, fatherhood and more. #NecessaryListening

Still in pop-up mode, we recorded this episode at the Wildhand Workspace which is the A Creative DC headquarters in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, DC. We finally caught up with Malik Stewart, better known as The Dope Drummer, to talk everything from growing up Rastafarian, a few marching band drumline stories exchanged between he and Geronimo, playing alongside Usher and meeting other big name music acts, and the creation of his band D.O.P.E. (Definition of Percussion Entertainment). #NecessaryListening

The Universe truly has it’s own way of leading us where we need to be. Geronimo was in NYC over the weekend and linked with one of his good friends, Erin Corley. Erin is general manager of Adidas Originals in SoHo, the #AdiGawd, and one of the most reinventing people you could meet. This was one helluva interview which unfortunately ended up getting cut short and had some static in the mix(thanks modern technology). There were way too many gems dropped for us not to put this one out. Geronimo talked with Erin about how growing up in the Bronx inspired her to pursue a rap career, attending two different colleges and gaining from both experiences, being a reformed nightclub host and promoter, how professional and romantic breakups led her to greater opportunities, Critical Place Theory and much more. Geronimo even introduced a new segment which still remains nameless - Just know it’s culturally-relevant.

One year of podcasts in the bag! &pizza gave us access to its Chinatown location in DC for the night to celebrate our first year in the game. We took the celebration upstairs to vibe out at &bar, the first of two bar concepts &pizza has launched in the city. We brought in a friend of the show, writer/journalist Marcus K. Dowling, to co-host this episode and had some great conversations with former guests:

Chris Bradshaw - Founder/Executive Director of Dreaming Out Loud Inc.

Vickey Ford - Photographer and owner of Sneakshot Photography

Glo and Kristina - Founders/Owners of The Hipp Agency

There were a couple of technical difficulties and we apologize in advance. We'll be there again in January with another live show sans audio issues. Stay Tuned!
