Really, could there be a more fitting way for Jason Norbury to have his final episode the podcast? For his farewell show, we welcome back our inaugural interview guest, the man who helped start this entire endeavor, owner of Fossil Forge and Local Founder, Dave Eames. Also fittingly, we experienced weird but debilitating technical issues and lost half the interview Dave. But that's OK. We still had fun and Jason got to yell "Budget Blinds!" one final time. After more than 500 episodes together, thanks, Jason for helping Link 2 Lee's Summit tell local stories, promote local business and serve the community. New voices are coming, but you'll be hard to replace.
