This one is a little bit longer. I had the opportunity to attend a Ward 1 Aldermanic Debate sponsored by the Inner West Street Business Association on August 31st. The audio was grabbed from my portable recorder, so .... not the greatest.  But here is what the three candidates for Alderman in Ward 1 have to say. More Information:

• Alderman Joe Budge (D)
• Larry Claussen (R) NOTE: Claussen says his site should be up in a week.
• Elly Tierney (D)

Last month, we interviewed each candidate for Alderman and here are the links to their interviews. Larry Claussen never returned our phone calls or emails so an interview was not conducted.

Here is your link to all of the interviews!

As we head into an contested primary for the office of Mayor of the City of Annapolis, we thought it would be a good idea to talk to all of the candidates in depth about their vision and see if we can find out what makes them tick.  Up this week, Nevin Young who is running as a Republican for Mayor and who will face the current officeholder, Mayor Michael Pantelides in the primary election on September 19th. In other election related news...

• If you have not listened to the candidates running for Alderman in your ward, we spoke to 17 of the 18 running (Ward 1's Larry Claussen never returned any calls or emails) we have a single post with all of the interviews, you can pick and choose...or listen to them all! [LINK]
• If you were unable to get a ticket to the Maryland Crabs and Eye On Annapolis Mayoral Forum in June. We do have the audio for you on that as well. The forum was designed to get a basic look at the four candidates running for Mayor. [LINK]
• And finally, we have a survey.  It is anonymous, so if you don't mind, please take about 45 seconds and let us know your inklings on the upcoming election. [LINK]

Coming up....former County Executive John R. Leopold, County Executive Steve Schuh, Mayor Michael Pantelides, Senator John Astle, and a surprise or two!

Today, I sit down with Donavon Frankenreiter, professional surfer and incredible musician who will be playing his acoustic tour at the Rams Head On Stage tonight and tomorrow (August 22-23, 2017) In our ten-minute chat, we talk about his album, his surfing, his family, and what it was like to cut an entire album while being streamed across the globe online. 

We started this podcast 52 episodes ago, so it should be a year...but it isn't. Math is hard. But it IS our 52nd episode and we wanted to do something different! We brought in Cara McKenrick from Annapolis Fork and Lea Hurt who is a restaurant and chef PR maven and decided to talk about the Annapolis food scene. We talked the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is unvarnished, raw, and more than anything--real! We rated 19 restaurants in the area and discussed a bunch more. The results may surprise you--some favorites scored pretty low and there are some surprises along the way! For the full list of restaurants and rating criteria, visit our website-- themarylandcrabs.com.

Special thanks to METROPOLITAN KITCHEN & LOUNGE for the table and electricity. And to Brenda our server who made sure our glasses were never empty!

Coming up....former County Executive John R. Leopold, County Executive Steve Schuh, the last full interviews with Mayoral candidates in Annapolis before the primary election, and a surprise or two!
