Ernest Dollar calls himself a professional hoarder, but he's actually a historian who has overseen the City of Raleigh Museum , the Pope House, and other important historical sites for over a decade, and whose role is expanding to help preserve and educate on even more of the city's history. We talked to Ernest about the role of museums and historians, some of his favorite exhibits, and whether he's ever felt like Indiana Jones in an effort to track down a Raleigh artifact. Tune in to hear about the state of museums, what happens to all the artifacts that are collected, how technology has expanded the reach of museums, and what's coming near future in terms of telling the story of Raleigh, its people, and its history.

Meg Paradise has nothing against the Raleigh bar scene. Far from it! She was an enthusiastic participant in Raleigh's nightlife, but when she became pregnant, she gained a new perspective on what life without alcohol might look like. Meg went from a fear of missing out, to wondering if a healthier (but still fun) lifestyle was possible. A lot of thinking and dreaming later, and she was developing spirit free-cocktails, serving them from a shack in a garden center. Today we chat with Meg, from The Commons in the Wells Fargo building, about her journey that will now have her taking over the former Garland spot in downtown Raleigh!

Terrance Ruth is one of those people in Raleigh who seems to be everywhere at all times. He's been a public school teacher and administrator, a college professor, a policy evaluator, a foundation founder, and a mayoral candidate. But how would he describe himself?  First and foremost, a student of the community. Today we talk about policy and politics, where the two align, and also where they don't.  Plus what can we do in the Raleigh community to truly make a difference at the local level?

If you asked an average Raleigh citizen what the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle does, you'd probably consistently get answers like "help feed people" and "fight hunger"--and both of those would be correct. But did you also know they have a food truck? And run a farm? And a catering service? And will come to anyone's home and build a garden? The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle does all that and more, and no one is more excited to talk about the programs and mission than Ron Pringle, President and CEO. We learned about his history in food banking and got to hear about his recent visit to the White House. But mostly we talked about the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and its programs, partners and participants. Visit foodshuttle.org to learn more, volunteer, or use one of their services!

What do you do with a future city park site that currently sits kind of as an empty parking lot? Enloe student Adrian Mangano had an idea: why not make it a skate park? And that idea became Skate Raleigh, a venture to build a temporary skate park between Capital Boulevard and West Street on the future site of Smoky Hollow Park. The area has long been a hang out for skaters, in part because of the Endless Grind skate shop that's operated nearby on Peace Street since 1986. Adrian tells us how the idea came about, how it became a reality, who some of the supporters are and more. For your real estate needs, check out  Steele Residential, supporters of the podcast!

A little more than 5 years ago, Raleigh almost became home to the new USTA headquarters that eventually landed just outside Orlando. But the message was clear: Raleigh has a lot of people who spend a lot of time with racquets in their hands. Now the Triangle is on the verge of getting a 45-acre racquet and paddle sports super park that includes facilities, food, different membership offerings (including courts for free public use), event space and sportstainment (TM) facility: Swing Racquet + Paddle. In recent weeks, Swing has announced partnerships with Wilson, chef Fabio Viviani and tennis academy Good to Great. We talked to managing partner of Swing Jason DeGroff about these partnerships, which sports are included at Swing (and why), the design and the origin story of what will truly be a one of a kind facility in Raleigh.
