Great podcast! Timely interviews with local restaurant owners and other businesses as well as non profits in town and in the Essex-Morris County, NJ area. Gives you a behind the scenes look at how the places we love started, their inspirations, and day to day processes of operation. Would recommend listening!
Amazing podcast. Very engaging with the guest. Heidi is fully or prepared with excellent questions and ways to get the guest to open up. It’s like we are eavesdropping on their private conversation. What a podcast should be! Highly recommend. Look forward to the next installment.
Thanks for all you do for Livingston
Looking forward to more interviews with great local restaurants. Maybe the food czar can start special monthly dining group to attend!
Heidi is the most natural person to listen to. What she’s done for the Livingston community has been incredible. Can’t wait for more episodes
