Ignite Annapolis is here. Well, not quite yet, but it is coming up on Thursday, March 14th. Go mark your calendars now! Ignite is a community building program that puts 16 people on the hot spot for 5 minutes. They develop a topic for which they have some passion--from silly to mundane to highly technical to comedic to ... well you get the picture. Virtually anything. They develop 20 slides to illustrate their topic. And then Ignite gives them 5 minutes to explain it all and the slides are pre timed. The event will leave you scratching your head. Crying. Laughing. Thinking. But most importantly, it will leave you talking. Talking with your neighbors and some of the 600 people that shared the experience. This week, we sat down with Liz Thibodeau and Kathleen Booth who are two of the organizers for Ignite 4. We talk about the concept, its growth, the way it builds community and how to become involved as an attendee, speaker, or sponsor! If you need a break (and don't we all), this is a perfect way to press a reset button on the winter-doldrums.  Have a listen! LINKS:

Tim quit Twitter. And it's killing him. 

This is a Crabcake from The Maryland Crabs! What is a Crabcake? Well, it's a very short snippet of something you need to know. It might be 5 minutes long..or it might be 20. In any event, enjoy your Maryland Crabcake!

She's not here that often, so that is reason enough to go see Lissie this weekend (Saturday) in a rare matinee show that is ALL AGES. I got turned onto Lissie while working at WRNR and have been a fan ever since. She is bold, forges her own way and when life hands her lemons--she makes another killer album. Here is a chat with Lissie in advance of her show. My suggestion--get tickets, you will not be disappointed!

Tim quit Twitter. And it's killing him. 

It took close to two decades, but I think we can safely say that THE MARKET HOUSE IS BACK!

This week, we recorded the episode at the Annapolis Market House and brought along our friend, Cara from Annapolis Fork to run it through its paces.  Along the way we spoke with Michelle Bouchard, the grand poobah and some of the fantastic staff on hand!  But we did not stop there--oh no no... we also chatted with some folks that were there eating, shopping and drinking. Yes, drinking--you can drink in the Market House!  If you have not been--go.  But before you go--have a listen!

There is nothing this guy can't do. SuperDad. SuperHusband. SuperAmerican and an all-star performer. Stephen Kellogg will return to the Rams Head On Stage on December 28th to support his latest album, Objects in the Mirror.

He called us on his birthday and we chatted about the album, the show, a lot about his family and how he feels the need to support the military, a cure for children's cancer and human trafficking.  After a Ted talk, a book, and an Amazon movie made about him, I don't know how he keeps grounded...but somehow he does!  Check it out and go see Stephen Kellogg on the 28th of December!

George Young knows his weather. George Young knows Anne Arundel County. George Young is the man behind DMV Weather and the weather voice on the Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief. We took him to task this week to talk about the upcoming winter--yes, it is almost here. And because Annapolis and Anne Arundel County is so hard to predict, we wanted to know SPECIFICALLY what is in store for us. Curious? Have a listen to see when he thinks our first real snow might show up...how many days schools will be closed....how many significant storms we can expect---and why he thinks that! Weather is unpredictable, and George Young goes out on a limb for us. Could we be dreaming of a white Christmas..just like the ones I used to know??? LINKS

St. John's College has a science curriculum. Yes, we know. That took us by surprise, too. But, in classic St. John's style, they're not going to do science like other schools. That's where Gary Dunkelberger comes in. John ventures into Gary's underground lair to see where he quietly toils, day in and day out, to create and fabricate ancient scientific equipment for students to explore. Science quietly collides with art in an obscure basement.
