I’ve known Marty Blum for several years and we’ve swapped Emails for most of that time. Recently she got a radio show on AM990 in Santa Barbara from 12PM to 1PM on Saturdays and I started listening and sending her some thoughts I had on how to make the show better. One of the things I told her was that she needed a sidekick, and not just any sidekick, but ME! After a few months of bugging her she relented and gave me a shot. She has graciously allowed me to fill that sidekick roll for the foreseeable future so I decided what the world really needed was to immortalize these events by podcasting them.
On the show for Saturday September 22nd 2007 we talked about the Mayor’s trip to Trenton where she met with a number of other Mayors and chaired the Sustainability Committee. We also talked about the Council’s vote to widen the 101 Freeway from the Milpas St Bridge to Hot Springs Rd.
At the half hour we were joined by the Bryants, Bob and Patty talking about the Summit for Danny in conjunction with the Council for Drug Abuse. The Summit project goes around the world scaling huge mountains and raising money for a great cause.
Finally, we ended the show by talking about the Salsa Festival at Ortega Park and what was going on with City Plan which has been holding events all over town to gather information from people in the community about what they think their city should look like for the next 20 years.
