Tyler Wilson, Stash Records- Connections in Cowlitz
Our first repeat guest- and for good reason! Stash Records is a gem in our community- but if you’ve driven down Commerce Ave on Record Store Day at 5:00 AM, you’ll know they aren’t so hidden! (Record Store Day is April 18th BTW!).They are a player in the Record Store scene and bring newcomers to Downtown Longview who are looking to browse their carefully categorized collection of physical media. With a mix of new and nostalgia, you can’t help but feel excited when you walk into Stash Records on Commerce in Longview. Their collection consists of new releases, and old favorites- so don’t forget that you can ask them for special orders AND sell or trade in items in your collection that you no longer need. If you want to dive deeper into Tyler’s background, how the store got started or hear Tyler education us on vinyl etiquette, go back and watch our first episode with Stash Records- it’s one of our best yet!

Connecting w/ Erik and Teresa Lassen-- Almost Outdoors
We sat down with Erik and Teresa Lassen, owners of Cowlitz County's Premier Virtual Sports Studio in the Three Rivers Crossing. What started as one man's mission to be nerdy about his golf game morphed into so much more. YES you can get lock-in your golf game, "map your bag," or test your "smash factor," but you can also explore the other 14 sports games, plan your next party or even play some zombie dodgeball! Almost Outdoors allows you to *virtually* play on REAL Courses. Whether you want to practice at Mint Valley for the next sunny day, or you want to try a course in Florida to decide if its worth visiting on your next vacation. Sound like something you want to try?
