Setting up the Studio
After spending the last year producing the podcast over Zoom, we got together to build a studio in the western suburbs. This took a lot of time, effort, and money, but we got the studio up and running before week one of the NFL season so we could begin to record our show.
Punt Pass Kick Event
To get involved with friends and listeners we held a Punt, Pass, and Kick event in Avondale, Chicago on Saturday, October 8. It was a success as we around nearly 20 people come out and participate.
Multimedia Storytelling Final Project
Sometimes hardship forces us to adapt, and Naperville restaurant Fiamme is a great example of this. Despite restrictions on their business they have managed to create something special with their Winter Villas.
