SHOW #8: RIDING IN RIVERSIDE – ONE PASSENGER’S TAKE ON I.E. PUBLIC TRANSIT

songrytr — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 05:40:04 +0000

We spent a recent August afternoon talking with UCR graduate student and author of the local blog “Riding in Riverside“, Justin Nelson.

In addition to being an expert public transit user, Justin is currently the coordinator of CalPIRG (California Public Interest Research Group) UC Riverside’s public transit campaign.

Justin Nelson gets us informed about the state of public transit in Riverside.

We discuss the complete public transit system that once existed throughout the Inland Empire (and the rest of the L.A. Basin) and examine today’s attempts to get more people out of their cars and into a more efficient transportation mode.

Show #6: Inland Empire Brewing Company – An Independent Success

We braved the wicked Riverside July heat earlier this week and ventured out the I-215 to visit Ryan Gil de Montes at Inland Empire Brewing Company.

With the memory of the prior week’s tasting still fresh on our minds’ palletes we wanted to find out more about the history of IE Brew and what it entails to go from your kitchen stove to a full service micro brewery.

Tim is finding that his producer hat is breaking in nicely and he has introduced a few more refinements to the podcast along with a new feature we hope to continue with all of our guests. We also tried a “mobile” mic technique with my iPhone when we were in the brewery. I had read about a BBC correspondent using the new little voice app with success but I think he was using it for shorter segments. We learn, we learn.

Thanks again to Ryan and everyone at Inland Empire Brewing Company for their hospitality and support of i.e. with ralph and tim!

Ryan Gil de Montes of Inland Empire Brewing Company is interviewed by Tim Brown.

The fermenters at Inland Empire Brewing Company.

This thing here cools down the brew before it goes to the upright things.

This is the upright thing - er -the cooler - um - the STANDING TANK.

Inland Empire Brewing Company is located at 1710 Palmyrita Ave in Riverside (just east of E La Cadena, behind Car Craft). They are open for tasting and sales Monday through Saturday from 10AM to 6PM. Visit their website at www.iebrew.com.
