A missing guest (actually Annie just doesn't read her calendar) and an audio production hiccup to start. But things improve, we promise. A wee bit of buzz on deck for you. Enjoy!

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

Who has two thumbs and is missing from the podcast today? You didn't guess it... but it's Brady! We missed you Brady. You weren't here to keep Annie and Shakeel on the rails as they went deep on zoning. Come back! But we still have some solid buzz and the latest City Council Chambers....

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

We've got openings and closings, folks. And a debate fueled by Annie's misguided memory leading to a phone call. It's Brady and Annie coming in strong with everything you want to know and very little you need to know about Longmont.

Take a break from the Olympics to learn about a similar but even cooler winter sporting event right here in Longmont: The Winterfest / Ice Climbing World Cup hosted by Longmont Climbing Collective. The second annual festival is coming up Feb 20/21 and we are getting excited! Find out what they learned from last year and what's on deck for this year. And... did you know you can ride your bike all the way to the festival from Longmont?

Thanks, Shauna, and good luck this year!

First, some buzz.

Then, Nick from Urban Field Pizza joins us to dish the latest on Pizza With Purpose, the all new upcoming Pizza Festival and how he manages to not burn out in a career in the kitchen.

Such a fun and energetic interview. Enjoy!

Shakeel is back! And with some riveting updates from the Chamber. Tune in! A few notes:

Correction: it was Patrick Dillon not Steve Altschuler who lives in Ward 3 but didn't make it to the ballot.
