Episode 41 is Oktoberfest Part Two, and somehow a hardware store redemption arc turns into a full conversation about local art, small businesses, photography, creative ideas, and the comeback of downtown Jacksonville, NC.

We break down our haul from Downtown Oktoberfest, shout out some of the local artists and vendors we met, talk about why supporting local actually matters, and pitch everything from a Jacksonville coffee shop hop to a pop-up photo booth. Then we get into the very real problem of having too many creative ideas and not enough execution, before completely losing the plot over photography terminology, “cacophony,” and Taco’s ongoing battle with the English language.

Forty-one episodes in and somehow we’re still here. Shop local, support artists, and enjoy the chaos.

Check out some of the local people and businesses we talked about in this episode:
