Special guests Mac & Allyse Love of Akron-based creative agency ArtxLove join Christina & Jen to talk about the power of stories!
We talk about our new neighbor The Pint & Pie Works.
Mac shares about their unique card deck project Akron On Deck, and how they structured the profits to benefit area artists and local businesses during the pandemic and beyond.
Allyse shares some amazing stories they've collected for The Rubber Worker sculpture in downtown Akron. You can listen to the stories and submit your own at akronstories.com.
Allyse shares some of her favorite reads from the Torchbearers Book Club: Cuyahoga by Pete Beatty, Winter’s Bone by Daniel Woodrell, and The Final Revival of Opal and Nev by Dawnie Walton.
Mac reaches for a collection he's been meaning to read for years, Island by Alistair MacLeod, and recommends Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud, as well as The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman.
Jen's ready for Last Call by Brad Thomas Parsons.
And Christina examines our deepest truths with Exhalation by Ted Chiang.
