What's Up ABQ

Just for you, dear listener!

You know what's super curious downtown?

Toast.

That's right, you heard us: Toast.

Tucked away in an old victorian home just west of the round-about on Central is a funky, fresh, and amazingly delicious place. It's Curious Toast!

In this one, we sit down with Victoria Van Dame of Curious Toast about what it's like creating community around the unique right in the heart of our city. It's an excellent reminder about the forces of good hard at work where we live.

Give this one a listen, and then SERIOUSLY go try their toast. Curious Toast is at 718 Central! You can follow them on IG at @curioustoastcafe too.

Cheers!

I think this about sums this up: Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at What's Up ABQ!

Give us your organs.

Come on!! You're not even using all of them... probably. Maybe.

But no, seriously, come join us for a roundtable interview with the folks over at the New Mexico Kidney Foundation, along with even more special guests as we get the low-down on what kidney donation really looks like here in our state. What's it like from the foundation's perspective? What's it like from a real person waiting to receive a kidney? And, of course, how you can help literally save a life.

Got a hot interview lead for us?

Until next time, keep it classy, Burque!

One lump or two?

We're getting alllll fancy for this one!

What's the right way to brew tea? What goes with it? So many questions, we might just need to have a second cup!

Until next time, pinkies up!

Everywhere is closed or has weird hours.

Staying at home has turned from a nice idea to a must.

We all know what this past while has been like...

For some right here in ABQ, this is more or less a way of life.

Aaaaaaand we're back!

Sorry about the hiatus...

Ok, question time:

Answer: that's a raging matter of debate right now.

For what it's worth, hear from Pete Trevisani of New Mexico United (https://www.newmexicoutd.com/) instead of... you know... who knows what from who knows where... before you make up your mind and vote!

Plus! What does gentrification (aka 'the G word') look like? Who are the players and forces involved? We're taking this from abstract to 505-local, just in time for an election.

Want to learn more about the issue?

Are you a local Burqueno who thinks you'd be a good fit as a guest for the show?

We're coming back soon!

Ok, so we all know the 505 is where it's at when it comes to amazingly creative people...

and one such multi-talented person is none other than Jackie Moranty: scientist, folklorist, and local podcaster extraordinaire!

So sit back, find some shade, and enjoy! - and when you're finished, definitely subscribe and listen to our guest's own local podcasts too!

Until next time, get out and enjoy local right here in ABQ!

It was bound to happen!

Well, it was such a crowd-pleaser last time we decided to do part dos, this time with Chris!

What's our personal take on ABQ?

Why do we love this town so damn much?

Where is special and why?

All this and more on this episode!
