In this week’s episode, we’re sharing a conversation about venue closures across America with returning guest Tobi Parks, co-founder of Des Moines venue xBk; Amedeo Rossi, owner of the recently closed Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines, and our very own Andre Perry. Then, we’ll talk with photographer Bill Adams and head chef and owner of Deluxe Cakes and Pastries, Jamie Powers.
The episode features music by Gossip Cult, Alex Body, and “Creature of Habit” by Elizabeth Moen for our Song of the Week.
