This podcast's (arguably, but not much) brewery and art gallery has re-opened!

But now what?

How does 'THE EVENT' effect our favorite local hangouts? And how have they adapted in kind?

Pour your ABQ beer of choice and pull up a socially-distanced chair as Amelia Salas and Kim Arthun of Thirsty Eye Brewing give us the view behind the pick-up windows. They unmask how plague has called forth innovation and technological solutions which are fast becoming the dividing line between staying open here in Albuquerque or closing doors.

To learn more about Thirsty Eye - just go down to their location on Broadway near Central! Or head over to their Instagram HERE (https://www.instagram.com/thirstyeyebrew/)

Ok, so here's what you need to know about this one:

It's frick'n delicious.

Whether you're there for the sandwiches, the sides, wraps... whatever... there's a new restaurant in town and well... just go there and try it for yourself. It's gourmet cooking - it's fresh - it's affordable - and it's local. Right up Menaul just past the mall on the south side of the road.

Owner and head chef Josh Kennon knows his stuff - but how did his Fork and Fig restaurant come about? What got him to put down his construction tools and head off to a French culinary school in the first place? And just how do you cook the perfect steak, anyway?

So many questions, so many flavors!

Get your forks out and sharpen your knives - this one'll spike your appetite for sure!

To learn more about Josh Kennon and Fork and Fig drive on over (and tell him who sent you!) to their location at 6904 Menaul Blvd or visit their website HERE (http://www.forkfig.com/). They're currently open at limited capacity, as well as have pick up available as well.

We've got more awesome shirts available now! Check em all out HERE (www.bonfire.com/store/whats-up-abq-podcast-merch-store)

Here's the truth:

There's tons of awesome podcasters out of our very own burque. Some of them might even just be your very own brother in law and sister, too! If you haven't heard of Pareting VS Podcast, now you have. Linds and her husband Zo talk all things parenting in Albuquerque all while handling very real interruptions from their small children. Now, for the first time, What's Up ABQ and P Vs P team up for their very first cross-over episode where together we talk Corona, podcasting, and share what it's really like for average folks figuring out how to do this weird thing called everyday life during 'The Event'.

- Enjoy!

In the meantime, stay happy and safe - support local as you can!

Yeah, we live here...

- But what's your neighborhood called?

What's it really like to live where you live? Walk down the street? Where do you go nearby to catch a good beer or coffee? Eat? Shop? Hang out?

In this episode, we talk with Annemarie Henton of Albuquerque Economic Development Inc., as she goes in-depth into the economic and community forces behind the neighborhoods of Burque. What living where you do means practically, the forces of Good powering change on a local level, and what it means for us as a whole.

Won't you be our neighbor? 

Enjoy!

Ok, so we all know right now we're all about that COVID fashion.

Mask? - Check.

Purell? - Check.

Breezy Summer clothing? - Check.

Go back in time with us to just before all the plague madness, as we talk it up with Sarah Gonzales of Neo Thread on what it's really like to start your own re-purposed clothing line right here in the Southwest capital of the world (yeah, you heard it here). Why does shopping local AND for a cause matter in our own neighborhood? What does style mean nowadays?

Sit back and let Sarah tell ya all about it :)

Love the show? Could you spare some change for gas?

There is a place just south of downtown where magic happens. 

It's quick, it's tasty, and it's legit: it's Castle Coffee and it's served up by amazing, talented human beings.

Even during Corona, it's busy. - Why? Because good people make delicious drinks. Simple. Direct. Rooted in their community.

This, friends, is What's Up ABQ gold.

Hear what it's like from coffee barista to new local Burque business - then, come try it for yourself.

Castle Coffee is what's up, ABQ!

Listen to the sound of my voice in your head.

When I finish counting to 10, you will awake and listen to this podcast...

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Robert Sapien on hypnosis and how it can help people with a whole number of different issues. How does this all really work? What is it not like? So many questions! And, since Sapien Wellness is the only accredited hypnosis school, it's just another example of how unique Burque is on a global scale.  - no clucking or dancing on stage in this one. Just medical science from another Burqueno out to help people.

So often, when we find ourselves wrapped up in a hobby, we don't know what to do next. We want professional advice in a relatable community of people, but we're just not sure where to turn. Well, listen up photographers and writers of all stripes, because this week we're talking with the director of Santa Fe Workshops. They're an internationally-acclaimed place where world-class photographers and authors teach quality classes (online these days, too!) and they're only a short drive or a Rail Runner jaunt away.

Come listen to how this 30-year-old organization is helping creatives both here in New Mexico and all over the world up their professional game. Who knows? You might just learn something!

To find out more about Santa Fe Workshops' current digital offerings, head on over HERE (https://santafeworkshops.com/)

In the meantime, stay safe, keep it local, and look on the brighter side of life ;)

Remember that time we did that Show Us Your Zia party down at Thirsty Eye?

The talent rocking the guitar on stage was none other than artist Baz Francis! Here's our interview with him

To learn more about Baz (and get a CD or two), head on over HERE (https://www.facebook.com/bazfrancismusic/)

We're continuing through all this stuff going on - we have new episodes with real-life businesses, entrepreneurs, and every-day Burquenos you can't find anywhere else in town. Plus, we're doing what we can to help support these wonderful, hard-working folks over a continual basis. We get our growler fill-ups at Thirsty Eye. We drink our coffee we got curbside from Castle Coffee (an upcoming episode!), we get our next reads from Titlewave, and we eat our Happy Chickenzz. Especially now, think about ways you can help support local independent businesses. Since What's Up ABQ has become and will always be Albuquerque's podcast, we're dedicated to doing what we can to keep our city unique, independent, and pro-local.

Take care, stay healthy, and be safe!

It's the big place with the T-Rex! And the I-Max. And the dinosaur bones. And literal TONS of other cool stuff!

No, it's not that movie theater off Coors in the South Valley when a new Jurassic Park comes out - it's Burque's own Museum of Natural History!

On this one, get ready to revisit what it was like to be little and frick'n LOVE dinosaurs. Prepare to hear what the current state of paleontology is really like here in New Mexico from the folks who know. Get ready ready ready. This one's just plain fun :) 

- It's what's up, ABQ!

To learn more about the Museum of Natural History here in town, you can visit http://www.nmnaturalhistory.org/
