This week we chat with Claire Merrick from Summit Metro Parks. From a new park on the horizon, events for every single person imaginable, to ginormous muscles (say what) and fairy shrimp (crazy!) we hear about all the things surrounding all the beauty in the parks right here in our own backyard. Then Grace and Kyle head out to a Summit METRO Park and chat about their experience and discuss pets looking like their humans and a just remembered college experience brought on by nature's beauty. Wait, is that a duck?

Baseball season is here and Molly and Tatia talk with Nick Bello from the Akron RubberDucks about all things RubberDucks. From mascots, to extreme foods, to partnerships, and game day fun there is something for everyone at a RubberDucks game. Then take a listen to Grace & Kyle discuss hot dogs, the food options, and how ranch dressing is America, but American cheese on a hot dog? Nope!

Join us for a chat about the arts in our area with Nicole Mullet, Executive Director of ArtsNow.

Nicole is ready to have her journals locked down and Tatia and Molly are on the case. Akron and the surrounding areas are hoppin' and poppin' with all kinds of art and ArtsNow is that connective tissue to making our community more creatively alive.
