John and Miller
You’ve probably heard of the organization but what does it actually do in the Charlotte area? The answers will probably surprise you. We also announced our new logo competition, learned about Martin Luther King Jr’s connections to Charlotte and were supported by Supportive Guy.
Ps listen to the end for a special guest
In our most unique interview to date, we sat down with two passengers from the “Miracle on the Hudson” flight to hear first-hand what that day was like for them, how it changed the passengers and crew forever and what it means to see the plane in Charlotte.
A special thanks to Beverly Waters and Barry Leonard for sharing their stories and to the Carolinas Aviation Museum for coordinating and hosting the conversation.
We spent a morning last month at the Carolinas Aviation Museum and met with Katie Swaringen to chat about the museum and its unique exhibits. Settle in for delightful conversation that touches on topics like the history of the museum and how the Miracle on the Hudson plane found its home in Charlotte.
Later in the episode we learn about the eccentric Haskell Deaton and Supportive Guy shared some words for our listeners from Ohio.
On this week’s episode we were joined by the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas to learn about how blood is such a critical resource for our community. We also complained about Ohio, John shared some clutch present idea, Miller taught a history lesson and Supportive Guy made us laugh. It was a pretty great episode.
We sat down with Charlotte Works’ President and CEO, Danielle Frazier, to learn more about Charlotte Works creates career pathways and uses data to best meet the needs Charlotte’s workers and businesses. We also learned a little about a guy Miller should know more about and were supported (as always) by Supportive Guy.
We sat down with (FOUR TIME GUEST) Adam Rhew to learn the role Charlotte Center City Partners plays in the development of Uptown and its neighborhoods. John then shared a bunch of half-baked ideas with Adam and embarrassed Miller. We also learned about the founding of Charlotte and Supportive Guy shared some words about CLT’s birthday.
It’s a trap! In this episode Miller surprises John with a new segment where he must detail if Charlotte things like the Hornets or the NASCAR Hall of Fame are relevant. We also learned the history of the guy Selwyn Pub is named after.
