    Breakfast is just code for Coffee and Treats

    Breakfast is just code for Coffee and Treats

    This week, we kick it off with our new friends from Rooted Grounds coffee - we've got some deals on their product in stores, come clean me out of those K-Cups before I drown! Their coffee is awesome and I had a great time with the brains behind Rooted Grounds, Patsy and David. Should we make a blend together in the future? I think so! Then, we meet Annie of Bite This by Annie, who is bringing in a whole new line of products into Jungle Jim's, including her incredible bagel bombs in the natural foods freezers, as well as her delicious brownies and snack mix called Pub Grub! I feel a little pride for this one as I discovered her at a cute Halloween market last fall!  Give her a follow on instagram at @BiteThisByAnnie - all this and more on the Jungle Jim's Podcast!

Wholesome and Fun

I just started listening to this show as a result of following Mark on Twitter. His enthusiasm for everything he talks about on the show is contagious, and the YouTube counterpart to this podcast is also great. Highly recommend checking it out.

Mr_Pyrite ,

The show is as unique as the store!

I love listening to the history of this store, getting information about unique products, where the store will be going in the future and what the store has done for the community. In a recent podcast I listened to it was mentioned what could be done with the podcast room when not in use. You need some animals that you can set up as props to look like they’re creating a podcast when you don’t have people in there.
