  • Dave & Derek from Beware of the Leopard | Episode 65
    Sep 24 2025

    Welcome back to the pod! I’ve been waiting to record this episode for months! Today, we are hearing from Dave and Derek, the owners of Beware of the Leopard. I had not been to Beware of the Leopard before this conversation, so learning about their ever-changing menu and pop-up events was really exciting for me. I hope your curiosity has been sparked so that you can go check it out too!

    In this episode, we mentioned local businesses such as Bent Tree, Popped, and The Kent Stage. Guess what! We have episodes about all of those! Go to https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/ to check out our library of episodes and learn more about those businesses!

  • A chat with some local government folks! | Episode 63
    Sep 3 2025

    Welcome back to the Kent pod! We are getting back to our traditional interview format today, but with a twist! Instead of chatting with a local business owner, I sat down with Kent’s City Manager, Dave Ruller and Community Engagement Coordinator, Dominique Bollenbacher, to chat about all things Kent. This was a fun episode for me because I walked away with a whole new perspective about the people who make things possible in our town from a local government standpoint. It was a great conversation, and I know you’ll enjoy it!

    In this episode, we mention several businesses that we’ve spotlighted on the podcast before! If you’ld like to listen to those, check out our list of episodes on the podcast website: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/

  • The Five Best Patios in Kent | Episode 58
    Jun 11 2025

    Welcome back to the Kent pod! This is our very first “themed” episode! You’ll get to hear my take on the five best patios in Kent and why I think they’re great. My goal for this episode is to give you some summer evening inspiration. I would love if you made plans with a friend or partner to try out one of these patios after listening. The best part: you’ll be supporting a Kent local business during the summer months, the time of year where the lack of university students takes a toll on some businesses, so let’s get out there and support them while we enjoy the lovely summer weather!

    In this episode, I mention several businesses that we’ve spotlighted on the podcast before! If you’ld like to listen to those, check out our list of episodes on the podcast website: https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/
