The Local Farey Tale of the Date Shake

Date Shake at Hadley’s Fruit Orchards in Cabazon, CA

Episode number 3 is complete! (And I’m already working on number 4!)

I encourage you to keep an eye on the “Date Shake Tale-Tellers” posts as I’ll be sharing some photos from Russell Schubert’s archive soon. I feel incredibly honored that he shared these Valerie Jean Date Shop related photos and articles with me and I look forward to sharing them with you!

Also, I’ll be offering “bonus” audio with “Date Shake Tale-Teller” posts on the Local Farey Tales Podcast Facebook and/or Instagram pages. I often end up with too many wonderful soundbites (a good problem to have) and so this is one way I can still share some with you! 🙂

In the meantime, you can listen to the episode under “Listen Here” on the menu or click this link. Then learn more via the hyperlinked Episode Notes.

Note: The photo is from the first (and only so far…) time I tried a Date Shake. As it becomes safer to travel, I look forward to properly exploring the “Date Shake Region” more thoroughly soon!

Whew! Made it to Episode 2 – The Local Farey Tale of the Slugburger!

I love interviewing Tale-Tellers but sometimes it just takes time to gather their stories. While I’d like to provide episodes more often, once a month feels like a pretty big accomplishment right now. I do hope you stick with me – and spread the word as I build momentum! 🙂

Be sure to follow Local Farey Tales Podcast on Facebook and/or Instagram to see featured Slugburger Tale-Teller posts and to share your own Slugburger Tales or tales of another local fare favorite.

In the meantime, you can listen to the episode under “Listen Here” on the menu or click this link. Then learn more via the hyperlinked Episode Notes.

Note: The photo is from the first (and only so far…) time I tried a Slugburger. Now that I know even more about them, I can’t wait to go back and explore the Slugburger Trail!

It’s official…the first episode has been sent out into the world! And I’m absolutely thrilled that I can share it with you. I had an abundance of material to work with for this episode…which means, that I’ll be creating “bonus content” in the days, weeks, months ahead. So be on the lookout here or on social media – like a Burgoo Easter Egg Hunt!

Since I’m just starting out, the podcast was the focus but the supplemental content here will follow shortly. In the meantime, you can read the Episode Notes and listen to the episode under “Listen Here” on the menu or click this link.

Note: The photo is from the first (and only so far…) time I tried Burgoo. After speaking to the Burgoo Tale-Tellers and assembling this episode, I can’t wait to experience it again!
