I AM LAKE WORTH Photography Project Carl Stoveland

This week on the IAMLAKEWORTH podcast I sat down for an extended interview with Julie Seaver who is the Executive Director at the Compass Center in Lake Worth.  It was perfect timing to record this interview during pride month.  In an extended interview you will get to know Julie as well as Compass and the important work they are doing for the LGBTQ community and really everyone in Palm Beach County.  The whole interview clocked in at 55 minutes.  I would normally cherry pick the best bits for a 30 minute interview but I found the interview just so interesting and important that after cutting out my normal 'umms' and pauses it was still 52 minutes long.  So enjoy this longer than normal episode and I'm sure you'll agree it was worth your time.

Welcome to episode no. 23 of the IAMLAKEWORTH Podcast.  My guest this week is Bama Lutes Deal from the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County.  Join us for a great conversation.  I really enjoyed sitting down to talk with Bama.  The interview was lively and fun and you might even learn a bit about what the Cultural Council does.
IAMLAKEWORTH III (We are Lake Worth) will begin shooting soon.  If you'd like to be included in the project send an email to cstoveland@icloud.com and I'll add you to the shooting schedule this summer and fall.

In this episode of the IAMLKAEWORTH podcast I sit-down with one of the most visible people in Lake Worth. Brian Kirsch who is the executive director of Gray Mockingbird, a local charity that works with the community to get food where it is needed.  Brian is one of the busiest people I know.  We sat down for a chat about volunteerism, community and life in Lake Worth Beach.  I can't believe we talked for about an hour and neither of us mentioned it was Pi Day.  Hard to believe Brian, Lake Worth's punster laureate left that goody on the table.  I hope you enjoy this conversation with one of Lake Worth's best people.

This week's IAMLAKEWORTH podcast is with Omari Hardy.  Settle in with a cup of coffee and enjoy this wide ranging interview that covers a range of topics.  Some of the things we talked about are the Everglades, TV, music, growing up in Ft Lauderdale and going to college in Miami.  As with all other elected officials and candidates we avoided talking about Lake Worth politics and still managed to have a fun and enlightening conversation.

This week's episode of the IAMLAKEWORTH podcast is with Richard Guercio.  Richard is a candidate for city commission and as with all candidates and elected who have been on the podcast I asked that he answer as himself and not as a candidate.  Like all of the other other candidates he did exactly as asked and what we had was a fun conversation about what makes Lake Worth special and a bit of what it is like to live here.  Thanks Richard for a great conversation.
I apologize for random noises during this episode.  I removed them where I could and hope they are not too distracting.  Sound recording is still a learning process for me.
