Welcome to buying local. I'm your host, Matt N with Five
0:03
Towers Media. I'm joined today with Sean
0:07
Palladino. Sean's a writer freelancer
0:11
frequently actually contribute contributing to our buying local
0:14
publication where you can see his works on the latest arcade
0:19
archaeology, Stinky's Coffee even catch a vibe and you know
0:24
just so many more. Along with that, Sean's a
0:28
council on the Council of Glenn's Falls in the Common
0:32
Council. Sean, welcome.
0:37
Thanks for having me on, Matthew.
0:39
Quite an introduction, wasn't that?
0:41
Yeah, I still AM at a glow of like, that I'm was even like
0:48
elected because that was my first time ever, like running in
0:51
for public office. And I've learned so much from
0:54
along the journey. And the fact that it was down to
0:57
just 28 votes really shows that every single vote matters.
1:04
I mean, that's awesome. Yeah.
1:05
But before we get into things, just to kick things off, would
1:09
you just take a minute? I know I had that lengthy
1:12
introduction, but I know I missed probably half of the
1:15
great things you do. So for the listeners, could you
1:18
just take a minute and explain a little bit about who you are and
1:23
you know where you're spending most of your time nowadays?
1:27
Well, I grew up actually in New Jersey but moved into the area
1:32
in 2017 to be with my now husband Michael.
1:36
We actually we knew each other since 2015 and we finally
1:41
decided to we should get married at some point.
1:43
So we finally got married last year, but we did get a house
1:46
together in 2021, one of the new developments along the Pedar
1:51
Canal, which has been lovely and also a weird like there's never
1:55
a perfect time to buy a house. But it seemed like 2021 was like
1:59
right at the cusp of everything rising.
2:02
So I guess it was good that we decided to buy a house first and
2:05
then get married. But I've been an active runner
2:10
since I was in middle school, so I was loved.
2:13
I loved how there's the Adirondack Runners Group and
2:16
Glens Falls, as well as a relatively new group called
2:19
Glens Falls Run Club that meets every Tuesday.
2:24
So I almost every week at least I try up join one of their group
2:29
runs I've worked at. This is a new thing for me at
2:35
being involved in civil service in terms of being elected
2:38
council as well as more recently working as a recording clerk for
2:43
the Warren County. Because I've always been in like
2:47
logistics kind of jobs and manual labor because I did not
2:54
know what I wanted to do in life.
2:56
I had suspicions. I've always loved to write when
3:00
I was since I was little, but sometimes you never know 'cause
3:06
there's so many possibilities and it seems overwhelming.
3:10
And I just love that I found my calling in a way of like,
3:18
whether it's helping people with this Councilman position or even
3:25
the county clerk, as well as right and about the cool new
3:28
businesses. Yeah, great.
3:31
Thank you, Sean. I mean, I obviously want to
3:34
unpack all of that. Just First off, congratulations
3:39
on your recent marriage and your big purchase of your home.
3:42
That's that's great. That's wonderful.
3:45
But yeah, I just just to start it off, I just wanted to dive, I
3:48
guess, a little bit deeper into your writing process.
3:51
You know, I'm pretty familiar with your writings.
3:54
I'm going out and about dropping off our newspapers, buying
3:58
local, and we're very grateful to have some, you know,
4:02
outstanding articles written by you specifically.
4:07
I just want to dig a little bit deeper in the writing process.
4:10
What's it like when you're walking into these Stinky's
4:13
Coffee or the Hub or you know, these these recent places that
4:18
you've highlighted? Do you already know what the
4:21
story is going to be when you're walking in there?
4:23
Or is it something like this? You kind of just let the
4:25
conversation go and then you know, you work your magic after
4:29
kind of just walk me through that process of writing a story.
4:33
I think it's definitely a little bit of both because when I wrote
4:37
about the Glens Falls Karate Academy, that was my first time
4:40
ever joining the karate Academy, which based on my childhood of
4:48
childhood bullies, maybe I should have learned karate well
4:52
beforehand. But I that as well as others, I
4:57
just go in like not knowing and just just learning and taking it
5:02
all in, as well as researching like the history of like of how,
5:09
how long a business has been existence.
5:12
Like Glens Falls Crowd Academy had been there for a decade.
5:17
So it was fun to like research and look at what they were 10
5:20
years ago, especially how Ridge St. was 10 years ago in Glens
5:25
Falls. Not like there was very few
5:28
things there, like there wasn't 2 restaurants, a bookstore and
5:34
and a spa boutique. It was basically just Glenn's
5:38
Falls Keratomy, Glenn's Falls Chronicle, and City Hall.
5:44
Not much, not much over the street.
5:47
So I kind of do that, try and walk into an interview with
5:51
someone not knowing where it'll go, but also try and research
5:55
history beforehand to get the context.
5:59
Awesome. Yeah.
6:00
Because there's you definitely have, I mean, each writer has
6:05
their own, you know, style and writing patterns and, you know,
6:09
storytelling specifically. The one I was reading was your
6:13
arcade archaeology, which was awesome, which was, you know, I
6:18
was thinking it was like, you know, you're just, you're
6:21
playing pinball, but you made the story make it seem like
6:26
playing pinball was the most important thing in the world,
6:29
you know? So yeah, go ahead.
6:33
I do have to say I give credit to Lonnie, the owner, because
6:36
his enthusiasm was infectious. Like if and I, I think I put in
6:43
my article that like if every time you walk in there, you will
6:47
know way more about pinball and the history of pinball machines
6:50
than you did well before you walked in.
6:53
So it was that was really amazing and I loved his
6:56
enthusiasm. I think I mentioned like maybe I
7:00
sent you guys a picture of like one of the how he like opens up
7:05
the pinball machine so it all so you can do repairs.
7:08
That was, it's kind of almost like a, I forget which kind of
7:14
car. I think that maybe it's like a
7:15
truck where it opens, opens opposite way of the front.
7:24
What are they? What's it called The front?
7:28
Where there's a trunk in the front.
7:30
Yes, Yep, Yep. Yeah, it's kind of cool.
7:33
Yeah, that is neat. Yeah, I, I guess just could you
7:36
explain a little bit like about that, maybe specifically with
7:40
that arcade story? I guess I, is there a moment
7:46
where you thought I really want to help people see the places
7:50
like I do You, you explained how you walk in there and it's just
7:54
so vibrant. The the vibe in there is great.
7:57
Do you? Do you want to have your
8:00
articles be in the same way that you see it?
8:07
That's like, yeah, that's a good way to describe it.
8:10
Yeah. Like try and like, 'cause my
8:12
mind, ever since I found out I was recently diagnosed with
8:16
ADHDI, my mind is always running at like 1000 miles a minute,
8:22
like seeing this detail, seeing this detail.
8:24
And I think that's what I try and cultivate with how I write
8:29
articles to like walk, someone walks in and be like, oh,
8:34
there's these cool like machines here.
8:36
Or they walk into Glens Falls Karate Academy and like, oh,
8:40
there's a, there's a whole bunch of like signs here or, or
8:46
artifacts here or see or walking into the romance bookstore, like
8:52
all of the amazing like crafted bookshelves, like trying to sort
8:57
of tell the history of of how that thing was made.
9:00
And as well as the things that sometimes people don't realize.
9:06
Like I had no idea what the project pinball was that sort of
9:11
started this whole thing and how it's helped bring pinball
9:17
machines into what was it? Look into my article now, like
9:23
Ronald McDonald houses hospitals.
9:25
Like it's kind of a unique way of like, oh, like that's the you
9:30
never know where pinball machines or why pinball machines
9:33
end up where they are and try to bring that information to to the
9:40
readers. Yeah, that's, that's, that's
9:43
great. Was there, I mean, you're,
9:45
you're in front of so many interviewees and tons of
9:49
businesses was could you tell us about a time where there was a
9:54
fun or maybe even a, a cool situation while writing a story
9:59
that you've experienced? I would definitely have to be.
10:04
Stinky's Coffee was really fun because when I finished my
10:09
article about Kitschevibe, Ryan from Stinky's Coffee, they, they
10:14
have partnered with Diana's Kitschevibe because they have
10:17
the, a Stinky's Coffees brand coffee that you could buy from
10:24
Kitschevibe. And he loved my article so much
10:27
that he's like, hey, can you write about my new, my new shop
10:31
that's going to be opened up? And he literally like let me
10:35
walk through his new shop before it was finished.
10:39
So I got to see like some of the OR the one of the big wall art
10:46
from Hannah Williams, right? Yeah, Hannah Williams before it
10:50
was finished. So I got to see how she
10:52
stenciled in like all of the creatures before it was painted
10:58
in. So it was that was my first time
11:00
experiencing that of like seeing something before it was finished
11:03
and get excited to write about it.
11:06
Yeah, that's neat getting to see behind the scenes.
11:10
I mean, you, you do a lot of work with like short films and
11:16
you have that artistic side. So could you kind of just walk
11:20
me through, I mean, you, you upon connecting, you sent over a
11:25
great blog, I guess, correct me if I'm wrong, of your last past
11:30
year. It's it's wonderful.
11:32
I had the chance to go through it and there's a section in
11:35
there, short films, and it looks like a lot of it was recent or
11:41
in the past work. Why?
11:43
Why did you decide to include that?
11:45
Are you still in that world of short films?
11:48
Do you? Do you still do that in your
11:50
daily daily ventures? Well, I just did.
11:56
I just did like short films for fun.
11:58
Like I just finished a really cool project for the Friends of
12:02
Crandall Library 'cause we just had our book sale and I asked
12:07
people if they wanted to have me record them and talk about the
12:11
books they found. Because used book sales, you
12:14
find so many different kind of books and just find trying to
12:19
find people to highlight their book finds was amazing.
12:23
So I made a little compiled video from that and I think most
12:29
recent one I did was compiling footage when I was on the canal,
12:33
when I was kayak on the canal, seeing all the beautiful nature
12:35
shots. I just do it as a way to just
12:39
another creative outlet kind of thing.
12:42
Although I did, I think on my blog I did put the 10 videos
12:52
that I made with my brother when I was like 14, called those guys
12:57
with the laptop. It's weird watching them now,
13:00
especially because our voices are definitely a lot higher
13:03
pitched and obviously me without a beard.
13:07
It's also fun to watch. Yeah, everybody go check it out
13:11
if you want to see Sean without a beard.
13:13
But you know what, it's kind of funny actually, because I think
13:16
those, those guys, the laptop, it was a way for me to practice
13:21
what I'm doing now of how to review stuff, which was, wow, I
13:24
didn't realize that that that is kind of cool.
13:27
It's like my, it's like my life was, was I was doing everything
13:31
all along. Yeah.
13:34
That, that was going to be my next question.
13:36
It it always seems like you've had this knack for the
13:38
creativity side, the storytelling.
13:43
Was there a specific moment maybe in your life where you
13:47
were like, I, I just love to do this, This is my calling.
13:52
Well, I, it's funny, I was not the best student, but when I
13:56
went to Community College, I got an associates in communications,
14:02
which all the various classes like a broad selection of like 1
14:06
semester of radio production, one semester of journalism, 1
14:09
semester of a couple semesters of English literature.
14:13
So in a way, like, and I remember when I was a kid, I
14:18
would always like always have a notebook in hand, write in.
14:24
There was a I'm trying to remember that there's a movie.
14:28
I think the main actress passed away recently.
14:35
I'll try. I'll probably remember it late,
14:37
late at night, But there there's so many different movies growing
14:41
up that I'm like, oh, I guess I'm not the only one I could
14:44
like you can make right in a, a career kind of thing, even
14:47
though I, it's not really career at this point, but who knows?
14:52
But let's see. Oh, but I think on my website I
14:56
did highlight a short story that I wrote when I was 10 years old
15:01
called Ghost to the Clubhouse. And it was really fun to like,
15:05
repost that and transcribe it from notebooks 25 years later
15:11
'cause there's kind of lovely. And also a fun little moment to
15:15
reconnect with my cousins Michelle and Jenny, who were
15:19
like a part of this book. Quote UN quote.
15:24
Yeah, that, that's awesome. The ghost of the club's
15:28
clubhouse, along with a couple others that you've written from
15:32
a young age. I mean, was it just like you
15:37
just sat down and just all these creative stories that like you
15:41
said, your, your head was rushing with the ADHD and did
15:45
it? Did it almost feel like these
15:47
characters wrote themselves or did it then when pen to paper,
15:53
was that thought or was it always just an effortless, oh,
15:56
I'm just going to write a story and it's going to be amazing and
15:59
it's this is what it's going to be about.
16:02
I think it, I always try to like take different things from like
16:06
different sources because whenever it goes to the
16:08
clubhouse, it's about pirates. I was a big fan of Pirates of
16:11
the Caribbean, so that was a major influence.
16:13
And also I love like talking about like my experiences, like,
16:20
like going to my cousin's house and climbing up the ladder for
16:24
their tree house and envisioning like, oh, what if it was a
16:29
haunted tree house kind of thin. Because I was also very, very
16:33
much into the, the, that's the word ghosts and that kind of
16:39
like phenomena. But I, it's funny, I, I
16:45
reconnected with like the beginning of that beginning of
16:49
what my childhood was like when I went to see Anthony Rigiki's
16:54
Color World, which was a children's book about his own
16:59
life essentially of being this art artistic kid that nobody
17:05
really understood and how he was able to use his imagination to
17:09
create wonderful worlds. And this live production that he
17:14
made last January, there was a scene where the Henry what the
17:20
main kid in it was lying on the floor like doodling a whole
17:24
bunch of things. And that's exactly what my
17:26
childhood is like just with writing, like just just
17:30
constantly pen to paper, just writing all these different
17:33
stories or, or journaling about what my day was like.
17:38
And I'm realizing that's journalism is a huge, or
17:41
journaling in a way is a huge way to deal with any kind of
17:46
like mental illness kind of thing or deal with like whether
17:50
it's depression, anxiety, or any kind of like trauma that you're
17:54
going through. Because when it's out of your
17:55
mind, you're able to think clearly again.
18:00
Yeah. Could could you explain a little
18:01
bit more of anything that you've dealed with and maybe the
18:07
journaling, like you said, that was that was a major piece to
18:11
kind of get you through that. I mean, there's a lot of lot of
18:15
noise out there and a lot of people who do deal with a lot of
18:18
anxiety, depression, they, they don't really talk about it.
18:22
So, yeah, could you just expand a little bit more of maybe a
18:25
personal story of how journaling has, you know, kind of shaped
18:30
shaped your mindset around that? But I do one of the big things
18:36
this past year was trying to break the stigma of just mental
18:39
illness in general when because we all deal with depression,
18:42
anxiety or any kind of trauma. And last this in 2024, I had
18:50
mental health crisis that almost took my own life, but I got the
18:56
help I needed from Glens Falls hospital and and through that
19:02
experience I it's funny the when I was asked like, have you ever
19:08
like been to a therapist? Like, Nope, because I try to
19:12
deal with it on my own, which sometimes it works, but
19:16
sometimes you need that outside help.
19:18
And I realized like going through that experience of just
19:22
how powerful writing and meditation and talking to a, a
19:28
therapist cuz they're able to help work through problems much
19:35
better than somebody might be on their own.
19:39
And I think finally finding that confidence again after
19:45
depression has allowed me to try things that I never would have
19:50
thought possible, like reaching out to a local paper to say,
19:55
hey, can I be a freelance writer Or deciding, hey, I want to help
19:59
the city, how can I get on the ballot for a local election?
20:04
Just these things that my mind would feel like, oh, that would.
20:12
Have the negative thought patterns of like.
20:14
You can't do this, Sean. You don't have the experience,
20:16
but if you find someone to help work through those negative
20:22
thought patterns, you can. The Sky's the limit.
20:26
Yeah, thank you, Sean. And it, it sounds like you're
20:28
doing a lot better. And so that's that's great to
20:30
hear. And we're very thankful to have
20:32
you writing in our publication. You know, there's no one better
20:36
than you, Sean. But moving on to the council
20:39
side, could you just explain a little bit more of why you
20:43
decide to run in the first place?
20:47
It's funny, I remember when I was in high school, I was always
20:50
the shy kid, but there was like a small part of me that was
20:52
like, I want to run like I because it sounds, because the
20:56
nature of it is really you're just, you're just represented in
21:00
helping people get stuff, whether it's for a school or a
21:04
town or to help improve their lives.
21:08
And the, the fact that when I looked into it, that it was only
21:14
35 signatures I needed just to get on the ballot.
21:16
I'm like, I think I could do that.
21:19
And I got 43 signatures. And I had a good mindset of when
21:24
you first run for public office, you're probably not going to win
21:27
because Ben Latham, who represents ward four of the
21:33
Common Council, think he lost twice, either once or twice
21:37
before finally get elected. There was another gentleman,
21:41
Bill Loeb, forget which ward he represented, but he had ran and
21:48
lost his first time. So I knew I, I knew my mindset
21:52
of like, it'll be a fun experience.
21:54
If I lose, it's fine. But the fact that I won, I'm
22:01
learning way more about local politics than ever in terms of
22:05
like how how it runs behind the scenes, especially with Diana
22:11
Palmer's new initiative of trying to have things go through
22:17
the various different committees, whether it's a
22:19
quality of life committee, Policy Committee.
22:21
So that way there's more eyes on the issues.
22:25
And so that way the counselors are not just the, the, the
22:32
counselors don't have to know exactly all the insurance and
22:35
outs of whatever resolution they're trying to go through.
22:38
If, whether it's a, a Policy Committee, they could like have
22:44
experts figure out like what's the, what are all the things
22:49
involved with the policies or the finance and audit committee,
22:55
They could actually have experts to figure out whether this
22:59
financial transaction's good or not.
23:04
I'm still learning. That's still a learning process,
23:07
but I'm excited to like, continue to help my neighbors
23:14
have a better quality of life. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
23:18
And I, I also saw there was a section on the blog you sent
23:21
over to me. You, from my understanding, you
23:25
have transparent, I guess, meeting summaries from each of
23:31
the meetings or any of the council's, which which I found
23:34
is really cool because, you know, someone like me who's not
23:37
on the council can, can still know what's happening in these
23:41
meetings. And I, I just think that's a
23:43
really great aspect of it. Could you kind of just walk me
23:49
through that process? Was it, was it kind of awkward
23:51
when you were writing an article and then, you know, the person
23:55
sitting next to you saw that they were in an article when
23:58
they I guess weren't used to that before?
24:00
Or was that I guess something that they appreciated?
24:04
Now someone's coming in here and writing a whole blog and being
24:07
transparent so our community knows what's happening.
24:11
Just kind of walk me through that.
24:14
Well, I've, I've definitely this another learned experience of
24:18
knowing what's private and what's public and and this is
24:25
probably something that I, that any journalist probably knows
24:32
that I'm still learning of. Always make sure you like ask
24:37
before writing down. Yeah, because I may have got
24:41
into trouble recently like some of some things that I thought I
24:45
heard from somebody say, but realizing, oh, wait, no, that
24:49
was a private conversation. I should not have said that.
24:52
Yeah. So it's a learned experience,
24:54
but I'm, I'm getting better at it to make sure that anything I
24:59
write is honest and also ensures that privacy is a privacy is
25:06
intact. Yeah.
25:08
Because while transparency is nice, there are things people
25:11
don't want to publicize, just like even my trying to
25:16
destigmatize mental health awareness.
25:18
Some people just don't want to talk about it, and that's OK.
25:22
And you got to let people find their own voice.
25:29
Yeah, yeah. And I, I appreciate you being
25:32
open about that and again, tackling that stigmatism because
25:37
there's a lot of people out there and people just don't,
25:40
don't like to talk about it. So I appreciate you you bringing
25:44
that up. Going back to something you
25:48
mentioned earlier on in the interview introduction was the
25:53
Feeder Canal Alliance. From my understanding, you do a
25:56
lot of clean up with them and you know, you've spend a lot of
26:00
time around there. Could you update me on the great
26:03
things that's happening around Feeder Canal?
26:07
Well, Artie, the executive director helped me submit a
26:12
parks and trails application for an adopted trail along the
26:16
feeder canal, which hopefully it'll get approved because it'll
26:21
be a, a way for, to get materials, whether it's trash
26:25
bags or gloves, as well as being able to document any issues we
26:31
see on the canal and send it to the canal corporation So they
26:36
could help deal with any like trees that are down or stuff
26:41
like that. So that way people can flow down
26:43
the canal smoothly. But I, you know what's funny?
26:50
I, I've always like picked up trash because it's such an easy
26:55
thing to like to just feel like you did something to clean up.
27:01
And I love the fact that I'm inspired way so many people just
27:08
to help clean up even just a small section of the canal
27:12
'cause I think since May or last May, we've picked up over 100
27:16
trash bags, which has been amazing in terms of like
27:20
realizing like where, where all the, where all the hideout spots
27:25
are along the canal, which is kind of funny.
27:27
I'm like, oh, like that's where all that's that's where all the
27:31
teenagers or 20 somethings party with with the use book by beer
27:35
cats, but also feeling like we're protecting the canal
27:42
because there's a lot of animals that use it so they don't have
27:46
to like try and Mosey around these bits of trash and cans.
27:54
Yeah, Well, I know the community applauds you and for the
27:58
listeners out there, between the articles that you do, the
28:03
council work, the volunteering, the running groups, you know all
28:07
of it, You're you're you're doing some great work in our
28:09
communities and in all of ours backyard.
28:13
But what's that one thing that you really hope people across
28:17
Warren, Washington, Saratoga that you that they that you
28:22
would want them to take away from the work you're doing?
28:31
I think the big thing is to to really acknowledge that if I can
28:41
do something, that anybody could do something just to inspire
28:45
more people just to get involved because it's so easy.
28:49
Well, I say it's easy, but it's you really can do anything that
28:56
you set your mind to. Cause all it's, we live in an
29:00
environment where everything's a quick Google search away on how
29:04
to, on how to run for elected position or how to start a
29:09
running group or, or how to, how to begin writing, whether it's
29:18
like sending an e-mail to a local newspaper or, or something
29:24
like that, Like they're, you really can do anything that you
29:28
set your mind to. And I hope when people like hear
29:34
me or see what I'm doing to that, it resonates with them
29:38
that, that if I could do something, they could do
29:40
something. It's a there there should be no
29:43
gatekeeping because we're is the nature of democracy like it
29:50
requires our active participation.
29:54
Yeah, active participation from amongst us all.
29:57
We can go do a do a lot of great things together as a community.
30:02
But Sean, I know we're running short on time.
30:06
I know I I've tried to ask all my questions that I wanted, but
30:13
if there were any questions that you wish I asked, would you?
30:18
Would you? I guess I'm opening the floor to
30:21
answer any questions that you hope I must have asked.
30:26
Now's the time. Would it be possible for me to
30:30
ask questions about you? How did you get into into buying
30:35
local and and this and this company?
30:39
Yeah, yeah. No, awesome.
30:41
Well, there is a brief interview on buying local of Mike and I.
30:46
We sat down just doing a little background of my work.
30:51
But yeah, I'm originally not from this amazing community that
30:56
I've been so welcomed with warm arms in.
31:00
I'm originally from New Hartford, Utica area, couple
31:04
hours away. I went to school in Rochester,
31:08
moved back out here and then, you know, putting the feelers
31:13
out. Graduating from school needed a
31:15
job. So I was connected with Mike
31:18
and, you know, through a pretty long interview, like he liked to
31:22
say he put me through the ringer, but I, I really felt
31:26
like this was a good, good spot for me.
31:29
And, you know, I get to talk to amazing people like you.
31:32
So I'm, I'm really grateful for for where I'm at.
31:34
And you know how my career's been starting.
31:37
So I appreciate, appreciate you asking.
31:41
And yeah, I mean, I know we're getting short on time again.
31:45
So if people wanted to, you know, dive deeper, read more,
31:50
learn more about you, Sean, Where I guess where can they
31:53
find you? My website's the easiest, the
31:56
Sean Palladino so SEANPALLAD ino.com.
32:04
I'd like all my blog posts. I try and link to any by local
32:09
articles that I'm part of, as well as my common Council
32:13
summaries that I'm still going on.
32:15
Although kudos to our new Chief of Staff, Steve Thurston, him
32:20
and Emily Neal, the deputy city core have done an absolutely
32:26
amazing job of transforming the agendas that the Comma council
32:30
gets in terms of making it easier to access with page
32:34
numbers and links to things because the the previous
32:38
administration didn't really make it user friendly.
32:42
So the, the fact that the agenda items hopefully make it easier
32:48
for the public to to dive into is will be a great thing.
32:54
But also I'm happy that I am making summary.
32:58
So even if they even if they can't dive into a 200 page
33:03
agenda, they can at least get the highlights of like, what are
33:06
these five important things? That's great.
33:10
Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Sean.
33:12
This was very inspiring. I had a great conversation.
33:17
And again, just appreciate you coming on.
33:20
So thank you. And to everybody else who is
33:23
listening, thank you. And of course, you can find us
33:26
at Buying local dot US. We are on Spotify, Apple Rumble
33:31
