Musician, teacher and all-around good egg, Shawn Harrel joins the show (and brings along some students) talk about an upcoming jazz concert and the work his digital media students are doing in the community. In fact, Nick and Liesl didn't do anything for this show except talk. The episode was recorded at Summit Technology Academy by a team of Harrel's students. Harrel was joined on air by senior students Amya Morgan, Abby Oldham and Jacob Loesch. Student engineers for this episode were Hannah Jones and Alex King. Harrel and the Lee's Summit Jazz Orchestra will perform it's annual holiday concert at 5 p.m. Thursday, December 15 at Bridge Space in downtown Lee's Summit.

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.
