Boy oh boy... for an episode about equality this one sure has a lot of boys! And boy, do they talk boy stuff. Though - honestly, not as much as you might think. Brady is joined by Producer Johnny and Bruce Parker, COO of Rocky Mountain Equity. And yes, they talked about games and comics, but there's SO MUCH good stuff about love and equality and community and being your true self. Bruce was an absolute gem in the studio. Show him some love!

Thanks to Any Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.

Thanks to Johnny Schober for the lift on production.

Dr. Rick is a longtime old town east-sider with lots of ideas and love for his neighborhood. As a retired family practice doctor, he spends his time writing books (you can purcahse at Composition Book Shop on Main or here), serving on the Historic Preservation Commission, volunteering in his community, and pondering history. We talk Longmont stories, historic preservation and we might bring up trains. Annie gets a little hard hitting. (Don't worry. - she wasn't up and night for a week stressing about being an inhospitable host). Dr. Rick was a gracious guest and we learned a lot in this fun east-side interview.

And thanks for Johnny Schober for the lift on production.

It's Friday. Annie is spent, Brady seems sharp. Johnny is on the board. We've got some fresh buzz for ya: openings, closings, further details on what a Runza is (but who cares anymore). And it wouldn't be SideDish if we didn't mention rail, Winchell's and cars driving into buildings.

Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.

Many thanks to Johnny Schober for his help with production at SideDish!

At long last, we present Mat Bobby. This was a delightful interview with an extremely talented photgrpaher. If you can, we encourage oyu to have Mat's website pulled up while you listen: www.matbobby.com.

Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music!

We've got road signs that say BOOB, a rain dance, bike to work day, discussions of beige brick, and lots more to support the accusation that Longmont is aggressively average. We also have a guest! But he's heavy on the listening side. Join us to find out more.

Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music!

***QUICK PROMO: Come see us at a live podcast recoding at LMP on May 31 at 7 pm*****

What can we say, we absolutely smoked this episode. Come find out why David Barton, Longmont resident and founder of the BBQ accessory business, DripEZ, agrees that the thermometer is a very important tool (and Brady thinks Meater is clever copy), how he paid off his kids' college tuition and why he is amazed Longmont shuts down a US highway four times per year.

Better late than never, right? It's so long ago we can't remember what we discussed, but there was a lengthy sidebar about socks. Unmissable, really.

Everything you want to know and very little you need to know, as promised.

Oh and May 31, we will be hosting "An Evening with SideDish" together with Longmont Public Media to kick off their member drive week. Come see at LPM at 7 pm - music, comedy and other great entertainment.

Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.

Brady and Annie talk BBQ, chicken sandos, openings and closings, listener mail, knives and psychedelics. Come get your buzz y'all!
