43:00

So there’s a new coffee place up on Mountain View near Hover, Sandy’s (SandΨ’s). Some people call it “cute” or “vibey,” others call it “magical,” or “witchy.” (OK, those last two descriptions came from the owners, David and Nikki). After talking with them, I’d use the words “thoughtfully eclectic.” Listen to the show, and check the place out. Then,…

Adam remembers the way things were. In the 90s, Longmont only held around 50,000 people. Imagine it! The post office was big enough to handle everyone, people rode horses on 17th (yes, for real), and we read the WHOLE newspaper articles… not just the headlines. It was a completely different world, and one Adam wants to invoke at the Herald. Learn a…

We're attempting a portmanteau, you know, where you smash a couple of words together. What do you think? The idea is that we take “buzz,” like our buzz around town, and then we pair it with “cut,” because we’ve cut out the buzz and it is now a standalone episode for your enjoyment. That’s right, this is just buzz - no interview. And we think BUZZCU…
