Story:
I admire those who can 'fall on the sword.' If you make a mistake, own up to it! Well, we are owning up to the technical issues of our first go 'round of this week's episode! The revision is now available, so feel free to download the 'Revised 5.5.15' if you access the podcast via iTunes, if you would! Thank you for all who waited patiently for what we love doing: introducing all of you to something new, something different, in Columbus!
Wow! What a podcast! To start, Juli Carvi gives us all the information for the Columbus Restaurant Road Rally & Food Drive. This event is coming up next Saturday, May 9, and will provide participants the opportunity to travel inside 270 experiencing a variety of food! The entry 'fee' is a non-perishable donation for local families!
Next is my interview with Lisa Anglim, owner of Sugardaddy's Sumptuous Sweeties. Meeting me in the bakery of Sugardaddy's Polaris location, Lisa shared her journey with Sugardaddy's: from the four big hits they took shortly after purchasing Sugardaddy's, to all the amazing things happening now and planned for the future! When I tell you Sugardaddy's sweeties are delicious, I mean from their perfectly round brownies, to their biscotti, to their cheesecake, to their Pocket Change..... You can find Sugardaddy's Sumptuous Sweeties in their Polaris location, Whit's Frozen Custard in the Short North, J. Gumbo's on Gay St downtown, and online! Sugardaddy's is a wonderful treat! (Think: Mother's Day, hint hint hint!)
Saturday morning, Burke, Sarah Lee (who I have kindly titled our 'Handler') and I chatted with Sumukh Torgalkar. You remember Sarah and I went to Sumukh's recent album recording at the Funny Bone. We had a blast at his show and were so happy to talk with Sumukh over the weekend. Visiting with him Saturday and listening again tonight to our interview, I realize comedy is part science, part sociology, and a whole lot of brave! There is a fine art, also, to creating a show where you are not an actor, and you must connect to each individual in the audience. Sumukh is on the stage being himself, entertaining people and mentally noting every reaction. When the show is over, he assesses each component of his performance, until, eight years later, he is ready to record his first album! Congratulations Sumukh!
You will notice during the interview with Sumukh, some interesting sounds in the background. We met him at Colin's Coffee, on the corner of Riverside Drive and Fishinger Road, and set up the interview outside on their patio! Our first outside interview! Colin's Coffee is locally owned and we hope to go back soon to find out more about this coffee shop!
