Brian and Jordan are honored to join Tim Iffland, co-host of their all-time favorite movie expert show: Popcorn Podcast (shoutout Australia!). During this part one of their chat, Tim, Brian and Jordan give their thoughts on Zach Cregger’s film adaptation of Resident Evil, the iconic horror video game franchise.

If you’re weary of movie adaptations and wondering if this is something you want to head to the theaters for, we feel you…but trust us: this one is TRULY different. You go for the blood and guts and leave with a sore belly from the amount of genius comedic timing in this thing...

Is it a story pulled directly from the narrative of the games? No. Does it ride on the coattails of the Umbrella Corporation through and through? No…but is it passionately true to the experience of being a gamer and a horror fan…or just a regular dude trying his best…Absolutely.

On this episode of Locked In with Algenon Cash, Algenon sits down with Savannah Thorne of the NC Folk Festival to explore the NC Folk Festival economic impact and the larger relationship between culture, tourism, private investment and economic development in North Carolina.

The NC Folk Festival brings more than 135,000 people to downtown Greensboro for three days of music, food, art and cultural experiences. But while admission is free, producing a festival of this scale is not. The nonprofit must raise more than $1.5 million annually, making corporate sponsorships, individual donors and community support essential to keeping the experience accessible to everyone.

The conversation examines an often-overlooked side of North Carolina’s economy: the economic value created by experiences.

Ultimately, the NC Folk Festival economic impact raises a larger question for communities across the state: What happens when thousands of visitors arrive in a city and spend money at restaurants, hotels, shops and local businesses? Can festivals strengthen downtowns and support small businesses? Can music, food, arts and culture help North Carolina communities attract visitors, retain talent and become more desirable places to live?

Algenon and Savannah also discuss the important role private companies play in supporting community institutions. Businesses are often criticized for generating profits, but those profits also give companies the ability to voluntarily reinvest capital into cultural organizations, nonprofits and community experiences like the NC Folk Festival.

And, of course, they explore the festival itself — including what “folk” means today, the diversity of musical genres represented, North Carolina artists, food trucks, local makers, family activities and what visitors can expect when the NC Folk Festival returns to downtown Greensboro.

It’s a conversation about much more than music. It’s about tourism, private investment, quality of life and whether festivals should be considered part of North Carolina’s broader economic-development strategy.

Former Greensboro Mayor Robbie Perkins joins Algenon Cash on Locked In for a candid conversation about the major decisions shaping Greensboro, North Carolina — from property taxes and data centers to downtown development, economic growth and the direction of the new City Council.

Greensboro recently adopted a 79.85-cent property tax rate as city leaders wrestle with the rising cost of providing public services. At the same time, the debate over data centers has generated significant public attention and raised larger questions about development, infrastructure and how Greensboro should manage future growth.

Perkins brings the perspective of someone who has actually occupied the mayor’s chair. He discusses how elected leaders balance public pressure with long-term decision-making, what he sees in Greensboro’s new City Council, the future of downtown Greensboro and what the city must get right as it continues to grow.

The conversation also explores the increasingly influential role of social media in local politics and what Perkins learned from his 2025 campaign for mayor.
