We survived this season despite many obstacles. Unfortunately Covid prevented roundtrip travel, but we figured a way to interview some fantastic guests (hope you agree) virtually. We ran low on funds but with the help of a wonderful sponsor we were able to put together some amazing episodes, that hopefully did not show the behind the scenes financial and technical high wire act we were carrying out.

So far this season we have covered not only US coffee issues but delved into the plight of some growers and coffee sustainability. We truly traveled around the world interviewing entrepreneurs, coffee experts, NFL Super bowl champions, former Coast guardsman, women and minority run coffee business. A coffee business (Aspire) supporting those with disabilities and world renowned authors. From both coasts, and Middle America to Colombia South America, and that fantastic “land down under” Melbourne Australia. We brought you stories that spanned these United States, learning more about coffee, production, sustainability, roasting, tasting and flavor profiles. We tackled a Colombian Revolution along with the differences of fair and direct trade, and why independent stores are so, so important to this ecosystem. We hope we educated you on how to look for not only the best tasting coffee, but what it takes to bring you this magic elixir! How do we maintain independence and sustainability in the coffee industry? Ok now its your turn!

All that being said we now need your help, and want to hear from you if you are out there listening to our episodes and reading this. Did we keep you entertained, did you learn anything? Are we providing you with the kind of stories, guests and witty banter, that you need in order for us to keep going. As they say its the rubber meets the road time, and before we travel the next highway in our show and our lives we need to hear from you. Let me repeat WE NEED TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK!

As you can imagine there is a tremendous amount of work that goes into each episode and if you want us to continue you will need to let us know. If this podcast has entertained or enlightened you with these episodes and stories from passionate, entertaining, and thought provoking guests, the time to let us know is now.

Our first two seasons were all self funded, and we were fortunate to have a great company for the first half of this season. We are now actively trying to find a suitable replacement, and wrestling with the two minds approach. Do we stay or Do we go. Your answers will help us make that decision.

We will respond to all who contact us,…so once again, send your comments to [e-mail] and perhaps we will continue our journey with more stories, education, and our continued search for the best coffee not only in these United States but worldwide!
