All Around B-Town All Around B-Town

On our third episode of AABT, we make up for a lot of lost time due to the Covid-19 crisis in this special 90-minute podcast.

First on deck: a Zoom interview with Brighton Mayor Greg Mills about the state of the city, the search for the new city manager, how our city council is handling the pandemic, and more. 

Next, we highlight the magnificent new Coffee and Pastry shop in town, Cinn-A-Brew! Mention you heard them on our podcast and get $1 off any coffee for the next month!

Our next stop is a Zoom visit with local author Jo Elizabeth Pinto, who has two published books (so far).  We talk about her life in Brighton, coming from a prominent local family, and how her lifelong blindness has affected her "view" of the world. It's an endearing look into the life of a Very Brighton Person.

Finally, we grab a slice of pizza with the owners of our local Blackjack Pizza as they share what it's been like running a small business in our city during this pandemic, and we learn of some incredible ways they've been supporting the community. Our listeners also get an incredible special offer of 35% off your entire online order, using our promo code: AABT. Head over to Blackjack Pizza's website (or use the app) to order.

It's been a while since we added an episode, so here's a big one to make up for it. Stay safe, Brighton! We're almost through this virus. 

NOTE: in places, the audio quality isn't where we want it this episode because all of our interviews had to be done remotely via Zoom meetings. Thanks for putting up with the limits of Coronavirus Technology. We'll have it in top shape for Episode 4!
