Good morning!
We've been utilizing our new Strip District studio for a couple months now, but it's about to get a lot more visible: Morning Java's been reborn, as of Tuesday, as a more expansive, weekly video program. And I'll be starting up a new afternoon interactive podcast Monday at 1 p.m. that'll be simulcast across several social media platforms. Both will be from the studio.
Here's the debut of the new Java:
We can't do everything we'd like, obviously, with the pandemic ongoing and remote interviews still being necessary. But the studio will serve as my home base for all multimedia, even as I'm additionally out writing all the hockey columns you're seeing this week from PPG Paints Arena. It'll be like my new HQ, and I'll welcome having you there, too, someday when it's safe and all.
Which leads to this week's Brewing question: If we ever sold Packers-style stock in the company -- purely symbolic, just to support the venture -- what are some things we could offer in return? What might our most dedicated readers appreciate most if participating in such a thing, while also understanding it could never equal their actual contribution?
