Jerome Segal & David Lashar: Alternative Voices Offering Alternative Choices
We've got three months to go before we vote for a new governor. And subsequent to the big-party primaries in July, most Marylanders are thinking that they face a stark choice limited to Democratic and Republican candidates who represent the very best or the very worst of the two parties, depending on how you look at it. But there ARE other voices out there. In this podcast, Tim sits with two of the more interesting voices out there, 1) , who is founder of Bread & Roses Socialism, ran for Governor in the Democratic primary, and is now running for President against Joe Biden, and 2) , the Libertarian Party candidate for Maryland Governor this fall. It was a good coversation between three people with different political views but a common passion for civil debate on both general philosophy and specific issues.

Jerome Segal & David Lashar...Dark Horse Gubernatorial Candidates

Jerome Segal & David Lashar...Dark Horse Gubernatorial Candidates
We've entered election season with just slightly over three months until we vote for a new governor. We're a solid-blue state that does not shy away from electing moderate Republicans. So the two major parties generally suck the air out of the room, leaving little for other candidates. That means that we rarely get to hear new ideas and perspectives. Tim sat down a couple of days before the primaries to chat with two gubanatorial cadidates..., a Socialist who ran on the Democratic ticket (and is now running for President of the United States) and , a Libertarian who ran for Congress during the last election. It was a good conversation between three people with different perspectives on politics who may agree here and there.

We also talk more about her hilarious weekly podcast, . Links:

The Fall Beers are Coming!
Just because our local Oktoberfests have been cancelled along wth the real Oktoberfest is no reason that we can't start thinking about the delicious fall beers and the team at Katcef Brothers Inc teases us a little bit with a Spaten-Devils Backbone collaboration. We also hit on Cutwater's international tequila award and marvel at how well Bud LIght Seltzer contines to do with the intro of three nw flavors--pineapple, cranberry, and grapefruit. September 18th is Global Beer Responsibility Day and I am searching Hallmark for a card... but locally, you want to stay tuned to Eye On Annapolis and Katcef Brothers for a fun promotion this fall that could score you a wild tailgate party....when we can do that again! :( Enjoy and cheers!

Catching up with Travis Pastrana and his latest venture, Circuit 199
Travis Pastrana never rests. If he is not racing, jumping, building a stunt, or chasing down his two daughters, you can probably be sure he's working on something new. And we caught up with him to find out! Enter Circuit 199 in Sudlersville. It's a state of the art racing facility to train top drivers and to teach the new batch. It's a Progression Park where FMX, BMX, and skateboarders can hone their skills and take them to the next level. And it's a Pump Track and skills course to promote fitness to youth using the track for bicycles, skateboards, or scooters. And of course there is plenty of other entertainment planned as well. When Travis brought Nitro Circus here in 2017 it meant the world to him to finally perform at home. And now he wants to continue giving back to Maryland--his home. Circuit 199 could open as early as next spring, but the target is to be open by 2022. Have a listen and get excited! Links: (Twitter) (Instagram) (Wiki)

SECU and some financial advice for the Class of 2020
The Class of 2020 is ending their high school or college life in a weird time. The job market is questionable. The stock market is questionable. And we are in the midst of a pandemic. Without a doubt, it is a tough time; but also without a doubt, our young adults graduating this year will overcome this and thrive--we're counting on it. And today we have some help. Sarah Ryan is the Head of Community Outreach for (formerly known as the State Employee's Credit Union) and she has perhaps the greatest gift we can give our graduates--some financial thoughts to savings and the future. We talk about the work SECU is doing in the community and for their members (it's pretty easy to be a member); but she gives some solid suggestions for gifts for today's graduates that will change their financial world!

Moving forward with The Village at Providence Point

Moving forward with The Village at Providence Point
Last September, we spoke with Larry Bradshaw who is the CEO of National Lutheran Communities & Services and the man behind the project now known as The Village at Providence Point in Annapolis. A lot has happened since then and today, we check in with Bradshaw as the project seems to be headed into the final stretch of the approval process. Today we learned that they has submitted their plans to the City of Annapolis after working with the Stop Crystal Springs (opposition group) and the City to address most of the concerns. There are two remaining concerns that are still undecided as it is a decision (guidance) that needs to be provided by the City. If all goes well, Bradshaw thinks that construction might be able to start in the early part of 2022. While on the same property, this is NOT anywhere close to the same project as Crystal Springs. Along with a change of names to The Village at Providence Point, this project has been downsized in the number of residents and in the general footprint of the project. Have a listen! LINKS:

We've been stuck in our houses for the past five years now...or at least it feels like it. As every possible commercial has mentioned in the past few weeks, "we are in uncertain times."

COVID-19...Voices from the Community
We are in uncharted waters, folks. Between cable news and social media, there is an avalanche of information, innuendo, and speculation coming in. It's exhausting and scary. So John and Tim decided to practice some social distancing and call a bunch of people to talk about what's going on over Facebook Live. It was a busy one. Go to on Facebook to watch Saturday's broadcast. We started with Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot to see what the state has been doing up to this point and what is planned next. Steuart Pittman, Anne Arundel County Executive, was up next to talk about business assistance as well as public safety, followed by Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley who let us know what this this means to our tourism-based business community. Katie Redmiles of Maryland Hall for the Performing Arts introduced "Pay It Forward to the Arts" to help both businesses affected, as well as our arts community. Monica Alvarado, owner of Bread and Butter Kitchen in Eastport, talked about what they are doing to help the community and their employees during this business shutdown. Heritage Baptist Church, on Forest Drive, has always been front and center when it comes to meeting the needs of the community, and this time is no exception. Pastor Scott Shelton talks about their food pantry and the best way people can contribute. What does this mean for businesses? Jared Littman, owner of K&B True Value and former Ward 5 Alderman, talks about what they are doing to serve the community as an essential business and what he is doing to protect employees. Small business owners are being hit particularly hard. Denise Pearson, owner and proprietor of Paradise Float Spa in Eastport, has shut down completely until this crisis ends. What does this mean to people in her shoes? Jeff Jacobs, owner of the iconic family business, Carrol's Creek, has also shut down restaurant for the duration. Some of his employees have been with him for decades, and wait until what you hear what is doing for them! And finally, we end on a positive note when we chat with Kimario Ballyntine, a server at 49 West, located in Inner West Street. Yes, he's out of work amidst a global pandemic, but he is incredibly upbeat and positive, and his attitude is infectious! In a good way. Links:

Yes it is a fun time, but as the push for legal cannabis moves across the US, there are more and more questions and a greater need for education! We also hop on the phone with two industry experts....Lucas Hale from , a national company that is involved with every step of marijuana from growing to dispensing to distributing. And also, Warren Lemley from which is a locally owned dispensary in Rockville, MD. Both were a wealth of information and both will be at the festival on April 18th!
