We were joined by the incredible Meggie Williams of the Waggle Company to learn about her experience so far at Techstars in Austin, Texas. For history we covered the creation of the Lance Packaging Company and wrapped up the episode (as always) with some supportive words from Supportive Guy.

On this episode we were joined by Greg Meitus of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central Carolinas to discuss the impact their programs are having on the community. We also (briefly) touched on Charlotte’s failed bid for the new Amazon HQ, learned about the incredible history of Sonic Man and were supported (as always) by Supportive Guy.

This week we were joined by two of the newest members of Charlotte’s City Council, Tariq Bokhari and Larken Egleston. We discussed their new podcast (R&D in the QC), how they’re working to make government more accessible and played a quick round of “The Newly Elected Game.” We also learned about the history of Charlotte’s government and were supported (as always) by Supportive Guy.

It’s been two years of podcasting for us and that means it is time for reflection and stating our goals going forward. To accomplish this we brought back our ombudsman Susan McDonough to go over what we got right (and wrong) with the podcast in 2017. We also learned about St. Mary’s Chapel and were inspired by Supportive Guy.

On a very special holiday episode of the Charlotte Podcast we hear the story of a man who lost and found his faith in Charlotte while learning what makes charlotte such a special place (A special thank you to Supportive Guy who helped write the script)

We didn't plan on talking about the Panthers...but it's been a crazy day.

This week John and Miller reunited (from inside John's actual house!) to talk Belk Bowl, what to expect from the #pod in 2018, and all things Holidays in Charlotte. We also learned about how Charlotte's namesake Queen Charlotte INVENTED THE DANG CHRISTMAS TREE and how that should be a bigger deal in Charlotte. As always we were supported with some words from the Festive One himself, Supportive Guy.

This week we were joined by Kristen Wile to discuss the 8 people/places selected by Charlotte Magazine as their 2017 Charlotteans of the Year. We also learned the history of Ratcliffe’s Flowers sign and Kristen was congratulated by Supportive Guy on her new gig as Editor of the Charlotte Magazine

John interviewed Sean Garrett of the United Way for an update what the organization is doing in the community. We also learn the history of Grandmama and were supported (as always) by Supportive Guy.
