Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! Here’s another REWIND episode for you! This is my conversation with Andrew from the Haymaker Farmers’ Market. This is the perfect time of year to reacquaint ourselves with all that the Market has to offer. The produce is fresh, the weather is beautiful, and we all can come together as a community to the Market on a gorgeous Saturday morning. It’s what Kent is all about!

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! This summer, we are taking a break from new interviews with business owners, and revisiting some of our favorite hidden gem episodes as well as some themed episodes to remind you of all the great fun Kent has to offer this summer. This is one of those themed episodes!

Today, we are talking coffee! Here is a rundown of all the coffee shops in Kent and why I (Katy) love each of them individually.

In this episode, I mention Bent Tree Coffee, Scribbles, and Cleveland Bagel Cafe. We have episodes about all three of those businesses! Check out our podcast library to listen! https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/

Welcome back to the Kent pod! This is our very first “themed” episode! You’ll get to hear my take on the five best patios in Kent and why I think they’re great. My goal for this episode is to give you some summer evening inspiration. I would love if you made plans with a friend or partner to try out one of these patios after listening. The best part: you’ll be supporting a Kent local business during the summer months, the time of year where the lack of university students takes a toll on some businesses, so let’s get out there and support them while we enjoy the lovely summer weather!

In this episode, I mention several businesses that we’ve spotlighted on the podcast before! If you’ld like to listen to those, check out our list of episodes on the podcast website: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/

Welcome back to the Kent pod! Over this summer, I’ll be sprinkling some of my favorite hidden gem episodes in with some monologue episodes. This is our first episode of the summer, and it’s one of my favorites! Emily from Emu Tile is a true artist, and we are so lucky to have her here in Kent. Her work is so whimsical and stunning, and she does a great job describing it verbally in this podcast episode! I love seeing all her projects on the Emu Tile instagram! Her next ordering window opens soon! Make sure you sign up for Emu Tile email updates and follow her on social media to find out when that is!

In this episode, we spoke about Board and Bevy. And we have an episode about them! If you’d like to listen to it, check it out in our Season 2 library of episodes here: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/season-2/

There’s no way you can simply listen to this interview. Emily’s art is meant to be viewed! Check out her work on:

You can also go to the Emu Tile website to see her awesome designs and place an order!

Last, but not least, you see Emily’s tiles in person at McKay Bricker on Main Street.

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! This is our last episode of Season 3! I’m so grateful to all of you for listening to Kent’s organization leader stories. And I’m thrilled for what next season will bring! Season 4 will begin in June, so get ready for some fun, “unconventional” episodes this summer!

Today, I spoke with Andra, the executive director of Leadership Portage County. I admit, I did not know much about LPC before this episode, but talking to Andra got me all excited about it! LPC is a great organization for supporting and growing the greater community. I’m excited for you all to learn about it just like I did during this conversation.

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! For today’s episode, I spoke with David, the general manager for the Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center. David reminded us that not only is this quality hotel placed perfectly downtown, but it exists to bridge the university and the community. It’s a local business with a community purpose just like all the other businesses and organizations we’ve heard from on this podcast. So go ahead! Invite your friends to come to Kent for a weekend and stay at the hotel, and know that those dollars are going right back into the community, not a big corporate operation.

In this episode, we spoke about The Kent Stage. And we have an episode about them! In fact, it’s one of my favorites! If you’d like to listen to it, check it out in our Season 2 library of episodes here: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/season-2/

Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! I have been waiting for so long to talk about this local organization! We are talking with Julie and Bengt about the Kent Historical Society today! I am a big history buff, and if you are too, this is a great episode to listen to. We chat about some of Kent’s rich history and the ways we as a community are celebrating it these days, including a 150th birthday party for the Depot.

In this episode, we spoke about North Water Brewing. And we have an episode about them! If you’d like to listen to that, check it out in our Season 2 library of episodes here: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/season-2/
