Ktown Connects Ktown Connects

For decades, he has been the master of Kenosha public access – beginning back with Jones Intercable, then to Warner cable, and Time Warner. Today he holds the title of Media Coordinator with Kenosha Community Media – a group which has kept our television sets (and now our website) LOCAL - with amazing programing like Dr. Destruction's Crimson Theater and live events like the upcoming parade on July 3rd. 
Kenosha Community Media operates out of the Kenosha Public Library Southwest Branch, 7979 39th Ave and still broadcasts over cable – now on Spectrum. Non-Spectrum users can watch the KCM channel on your ROKU device by downloading the free Kenosha Community Media channel, or just visit their website here to see what’s playing! If it’s at 5pm on Sundays or 11am on Wednesdays, you’ll hear the Ktown Connects Podcast, and you could hear Jason Rimkus’ episode – how weird would that be? 

We had a great time talking to Jason about growing up in Kenosha and how he found his way into the media world. The full conversation with Jason was over 2 hours long and has been edited for your listening enjoyment – to hear the full episode unedited, become a patreon supporter at www.ktownconnects.com.

If you are a longtime Kenoshan, you know the Radigan name. For over 80 years, Ray Radigan's Supper Club was nationally known and respected. Ray's granddaughter, Mary, has learned from her family's hard work and perseverance and struck out on her own as a world-class chef.   
We sit down with Mary and talk about the rich history of Ray Radigan's and how she took that love for the kitchen she developed as a little girl and made it into a career.
For some of Mary's delectable foods, stop in at Tenuta's Delicatessen and Liquors, 3203 52nd St., visit their website here for more info!

Dr. Erin Merritt is a lifelong Kenoshan who saw that her city was in need of an independent pharmacy. In 2014, she opened her own business, Modern Apothecary, on the corner of 50th Street and Seventh Avenue in Downtown Kenosha. Over the winter, she moved to a bigger and 57better location in the heart of Downtown at 5700 Sixth Avenue. Modern Apothecary has all the items that those big box stores have and can get you all of your pharmaceutical needs, but they offer that hometown touch that you won’t get elsewhere. Stop on down and check out Dr. Merritt’s beautiful shop and visit their website for more information!
