Episode 61: Southern Indiana Scuba Diving Specialists

03/01/20 • 47 min

I'm so excited about this episode, I don't even know if I can string a coherent sentence together. Lucky for me, you don't talk while scuba diving. That's right. Okay, okay. Full disclosure, I was only in about 10 feet of water. In a pool. Without sharks. But still. Did you know that Southern Indiana has a large contingent of scuba enthusiasts? I did not know this until I met and chatted with Casey Vallee, a dive instructor with Southern Indiana Scuba. Her enthusiasm for scuba is infectious and her patience for our nonsensical fish phobias was endless. Think you might be interested in seeing what scuba is all about? Be sure the listen to the very end of the episode - it might be worth it $$!
We also throwback to episode 22 with our friends at Class 101. They shared with us all we need to know about preparing our students for college, from test prep to writing the best essay (perhaps about the fascinating hobby of scuba?). And in our REAL-List segment, condo living can be a great option for some buyers. What makes it different than buying a single family home? Listen to our REAL List to find out!

Episode 60: Bloomingfoods Co-Op

Local. Is it a trendy word or is it truly a vital concept? We're voting for vital concept. Local businesses and business people have an intimate knowledge of our community needs. As Liam Neeson would say, "a very particular set of skills" that can only be "acquired over a very long career." What does that have to do with this episode's guest? Is it Liam Neeson? Not quite. But we talk with two of the general managers of our local food market juggernaut, Bloomingfoods Co-Op, Dee Bohler and Phil Phillipy, to learn more about the co-op's 44 year history ("a very long career"). This 44 year longevity has allowed Bloomingfoods to develop their "particular set of skills" that non-local businesses just can't match, that of keeping their shelves stocked with exactly what Bloomingtonians are looking for. We also chat about the community programs they have in place and what exactly is a co-op. (Hint: You do not have to be a member to shop there. There is no secret password! Bloomingfoods is open to all!)
In our throwback, we revisit Episode 5 of At Home in Bloomington with the Bloomington Salt Cave. Did you know that if you have a Bloomingfoods membership, you can also get a discount at the Salt Cave? And in our REAL-List segment, Never negotiated the purchase of a home before? No worries, we’ve got you covered as Deb shares what items, besides price, can be negotiated in a purchase agreement.

Episode 62: TedxBloomington

Big ideas. The world needs them right now. On every topic and in every field, encouraging the spread of big ideas and the excitement those ideas instill in others is what will cause change for the better. You may have heard of TED Talks? Those short talks posted online on a huge variety of subjects, designed to make us think? Did you know that Bloomington has our own TED series called TEDxBloomington? Local events and local speakers come together to create our own Ted-like experience. On this episode of At Home in Bloomington, we talk with Jennifer Bourland, executive producer of TEDxBloomington. She shares how TEDx works, how it's different from TED, what an event is like and much more.
We throw back to Episode 33, Monroe County History Center. The history center is a community resource that can be utilized in lots of different ways. Also, in our REAL-List segment, sometimes real estate transactions don't close. What are the major reasons and how can you handle them? Listen and learn!
