OTHER COOL SARASOTA EVENTS & PEOPLE
NICOLE HANCOCK OF SIESTA CINEBISTRO
The one, the only Nicole Hancock from Siesta’s CineBistro was on this past Saturday morning during the morning segment of Sarasota Street Talk and just owned it! She is one of the most creative and energetic women I have met and her energy is contagious. She tried to threaten us with “be careful, I many come every week.” Don’t threaten us with a good time, young lady. An engaging interview from an equally engaging individual. Tune in and enjoy.
BRIAN BYRD OF SARASOTA’S DIRTY BYRDS
We were thrilled when we found out that Brian Byrd was going to be joining us on the streets of his hometown and shooting the gab with us! You locals will recognize Brian from many, many great shows at Cask & Ale, as well as other venues throughout Sarasota, but did you know how deep this man’s musical connections run? Our own local Brian isn’t so local when it comes to his music. Tune in and see just how cool this Dirty Byrd really is.
THE ICE CREAM EATING CONTEST
The long awaited Rise & Nyes ice cream contest was finally upon us. All these months of training , visualizing and positive affirmations are now being put to the test. It all comes down to 3 very short minutes which will separate the adults from the children. Well, actually some of the children did better than some of the adults! And WE were there to catch the entire event with a play by play! Click to the right to hear exactly what went down that fateful day.
KIRSTIN SPONSELLER – WHATS UP SARASOTA / ABC 7
If you are a local here in the downtown Sarasota area you have run into Kirsten at any number of events. She hosts trivia at Joes and Tamiami Tap, as well as runs a grass roots web show appropriately named What’s Up Sarasota! Speaking of one who has a pure love affair with the city of Sarasota, Kirsten is the one. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I was so glad to hear she has now been picked up by ABC 7 News as the entertainment liaison to everything Sarasota. We are so honored to have her on just to tap some of her knowledge of the area. Click now to hear EVERYTHING Sarasota!
GOOD FRIEND NICO ON THE MIC!
You know that friend who you may have met only a year or so ago, but feels like its been much longer? In walks Nico Palizzolo. He and his wife ( and two adorable girls ) are fantastic and I will always be glad should he want to crash the podcast. Some great stories come pouring out of this man’s gullet and I’m always thinking to myself “Glad I got THAT recorded!” lol.. Do yourself and click this segment. You will gain a new friend and be blessed to do so.
WILL LUERA – DIRECTOR OF IMPROV AT FLORIDA STUDIO
This was an exciting interview as we both got the feeling we were being critiqued on OUR podcasting and interviewing skills.. lol.. After all, we are interviewing a professional who teaches communication, improv and has his student’s do podcasts as part of their projects. Hear the nerves in my voice as I ask him to provide ME a report card on how we were doing. Graciously Will stated we did well, but c’mon.. we all know I’m a Realtor and not a professional podcaster/interviewer.. haha.. Listen in on the conversation and judge for yourself. Was Will being sincere, or just polite? 😉 You be the judge.
