    Join Kosta and his guest: Jennifer Hutchinson-Tracy, Director of the Putnam County Animal Shelter. In this episode: Adopting a pet is a magical experience. What’s one of your favorite adoption stories from here in Putnam County? And what do we need to know about how to adopt our next furry friend? How many animals are currently at the Putnam County Animal Shelter and what does the intake to adoption rate look like for any given month? If you could manage one misconception people have about animal shelters or even animal control, what would it be? You’ve helped thousands of families here in the Upper Cumberland find another member of their family and a pet they will cherish for the rest of their life. The holidays are right around the corner, everyone wants a puppy for Christmas, what’s your message to families on adopting instead of shopping from a breeder this holiday season?

    Join Kosta and his guest: Senator Paul Bailey, Tennessee State Senator, Representing the 15th District. In this episode: I know some people are listening and thinking, I know what a State Senator is - but I don’t actually know. Will you walk us through what you do at the Capitol and how the State Senate impacts our lives here in the Upper Cumberland? You’re a strong supporter of small government to expedite economic growth in Tennessee. In your experience, why is small government the most effective way to govern and how is it helping to drive the economic growth in the 15th District?

    On the Other Side with Amy McBroom

    Join Kosta and his guest: Amy McBroom (Stockwell), Director of The Upper Cumberland Family Justice Center. In this episode: It’s almost the holidays, it’s an election year, and we’re feeling stress from every angle right now. I read something really devastating on your Facebook that sometimes people feel like they have to wait until after holidays or big life events to ask for help or leave an abusive partner because they don’t want to ruin anything. What would you say to these victims? I can’t get this information out of my head: 1 in 3 women is a victim of domestic abuse and 1 in 4 men are victims, I had no idea. Do you think most people know this? Domestic abuse can be mental, physical, economic or psychological, and it’s not always easy to tell when someone is being abused. If we suspect someone is being abused what should we do?

    Life on Life's Terms with Matt Collins

    This episode contains themes that may be distressing to some listeners: including child loss, death, extreme weather events and other content that is not intended for children. We understand if this episode is too overwhelming for you to listen to at this time. We hope all our audience will read the Collin's Family Story and consider making a donation to The Magnolia Foundation. Join Kosta and his guest: Matt Collins, Founder of The Magnolia Foundation. On March 3, 2020, the Upper Cumberland changed forever. For the community, it was an indescribable loss - for Matt, it was an unimaginable one. The tornado that ravaged the Upper Cumberland took the one thing we can never replace, 19 members of this community, including Matt and Macy's beautiful daughter Hattie Jo. To honor Hattie Jo, the Collins family started the Hattie Jo Collins Memorial Scholarship, an endowed scholarship at Tennessee Tech University that benefits students in the nursing program. In 2023, they founded The Magnolia Foundation which seeks to serve families who have also experienced the pain of child loss.

    How to Win Your Costume Contest with Amy Ing

    Join Kosta and his guest: Amy Ing, Owner of Spotlight Costumes. In this episode: Collectively we spend a pretty penny on Halloween, in America alone we spent 12.2 billion dollars in 2024. So, how does renting a costume from you compare to buying a costume online or at a big box store? Because after you buy the costume, wig, shoes, and accessories, it can easily be $200-$300 for a cheap costume you’re never going to wear again. Halloween is right around the corner, and in the true spirit of the season and this episode, I want to talk about dressing up for Halloween. What’s your favorite Halloween costume that you’ve ever had? What does the process of finding our dream Halloween costume look like with the help of Spotlight Costumes?

    Enter If You Dare with Carroll Moore and Erica McElroy

    Join Kosta and his guests: Carroll Moore and Erica McElroy, Owners of Halloween Hollow Haunted House. In this episode: Visiting a haunted house or haunted corn maze at Halloween is nothing new, but Halloween Hollow provides a multi-event experience. Will you talk about what it’s like to visit the haunt and what makes Halloween Hollow different? I love Halloween. I love scary movies. I love spooky stuff in general, but I’m terrified of haunted houses. Why do you think some people love going to in-person haunts while others absolutely hate it? This year, you have an experience where guests must sign a waiver. Why do they have to sign it? Can anything bad actually happen in a haunted house?

    Beyond the Board with Eddie Walker

    Join Kosta and his guest: Eddie Walker, Magic: The Gathering community organizer and Manager of Knighthood Games. In this episode: To be totally honest with you, we’re sailing in uncharted territory. I’d venture to guess most of our audience (and myself) have very limited knowledge on games like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons. So let’s start there, what is tabletop gaming? In 2016 the world was reintroduced to RPGs, specifically Dungeons and Dragons through the Netflix show Stranger Things. For anyone that’s seen that show and wonders if that’s what it’s actually like to play the game, what would you say? Gaming still has a lot of stigmas. Whether it’s video games or tabletop games, you might have made it past the satanic allegations, but you aren’t totally out of the woods yet. What do you feel like are a few of the biggest misconceptions about gamers and their lifestyles? I want to talk about Magic: The Gathering, known more commonly to the players as Magic. What is it? How did it help build Knighthood Games into what it is today?

    A Midsemester Night's Dream with Mark Creter

    Join Kosta and his guest: Mark Creter, Professor of Theatre for the School of Music at Tennessee Technological University. Proudly serving as the artistic director of the campus theatre, the Backdoor Playhouse from 1992-2024, for the past 30-years Mark's dedicated his life to the development, expansion and betterment of the performing arts at Tennessee Tech, and across the Upper Cumberland. In this episode: You’re no stranger to the partisan divide and increasingly conservative values of this community. What role does threatre and the performing arts play in leveling the playing field and turning down the temperature to help us see each other as equals? This fall you’re directing The Two Gentlemen of Verona, which will premiere this Friday, October 4th and run until October 12th. For anyone counting this is Mark’s 9th time directing for Shakespeare in the park. What can we expect from this performance? Whether it’s on a state, local or campus level, the past few years have brought to light several questions about the morality and legality of men dressing in women’s clothes and vice versa. As someone that’s worked in the theatre their entire life, and studied the history of performing arts (and costuming), how did we get here and more importantly what can we do to move forward?
