    Kansas City with Jason Nivens Season 2 Episode 6 (43) Jackie G of City Barrel Brewing

    In this episode, Nivens sits down with manager, Jackie G, of City Barrel Brewing. They talk about the tight and supportive brewing community in the crossroads and how City Barrel stays fun and fresh, and the importance of having a food concept along with just being a brewery. Then, we traverse across the street to The Bus Bus Stop, and encounter an actual bus stop, as well as a surprise cameo visit from a go-zillionaire who knows a good bus stop all too well. Enjoy the lovely Jackie G, because she is Rad AF.

    It was great to get back on the radio again!

    I shared the story on social media about going to Court over our Treehouse, here in the Westside of Kansas City, Missouri. It's still an ongoing deal and Dana and Parks wanted to bring me onto their radio show on KMBZ 98.1 in Kansas City. We talked about what's gone on and what's going on.  This story is still developing. Ha!
