I sat down with a new artist in town who brings his unique hip hop style to Trinidad. Marcus Levar moved here in January with his family and is on a mission to spread his art all over town. He joined us for Showdown 2 in February and hasn't slowed down a bit to get his tour lined up in the DMV (Delaware, Massachusetts, Vermont) area which he heads out on shortly after his 2nd show in town this Saturday at Mutiny Trinidad.

Thank you Marcus for being here! As we talk about, Trinidad needs more diversity and he's bring it to your house. Be sure to check out his show this Saturday!

It's been a few months since I dusted off the ol mic so I'm def a lil rusty but it's great to get back in the swing of things and share conversation and laughter with some of my favorite people in Trinidad Colorado. Jen and Leah are busting their butts to open a brand new tattoo shop in Trinidad, to find out more, hit the listen button!

I sat down with a cool cat who hangs out around Trinidad - he splits his time between here and Taos and if you’ve been to Pack Mule Mercantile on Main Street, you’ve not only seen his art hanging but have probably shared a laugh with him. He’s having an art show in the PMM Gallery for December’s First Friday.

While in Trinidad he’s down to give you some beautiful ink so hit him up to book a tattoo! And when in Taos be sure to check Magical Tattoo!

You can preview some of his work on Instagram at @5eight13.

I met up with Trinidad Local, Stacey Bonham of Bare Assembly Trinidad, at Mutiny on Main Street in the black light room and talked about her products and life in Trinidad. She started Bare Assembly a couple of years ago after moving here from Scottsdale and her products have been an instant hit. She proceeded all natural products without toxic ingredients and no plastic packaging. Her line includes bathing to house cleaning to sleep enhancers. I highly recommend the chakra roller scents, magnesium cream and well pretty much everything she makes. Even the dish soap is bomb!

Thank you Stacey so much for sitting down with me, it was great catching up and talking about life in Trinidad!

Just keeping up with the ol’ CodPast ha! I took a week off to focus on getting my office organized and prepped for my new job so it’s been a minute since I posted an episode. This week’s conversation was pushed back to next week and in order to keep thing going, I just had a lil conversation with myself today! Listen if ya want, judge if ya need to, but I’ll be over here….keeping it Trill!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming conversation with Stacey from Bare Assembly Trinidad, an amazing local all natural product line.

I sat down with Kevin, Victor and Diego of Los Suenos, Trinidad’s newest band on the scene and I learned a ton on how the music scene has evolved over the years. Living in a small town might make it a little less intimidating to start a band and hit the stage. We talk about Trinidad life in general, what got them into music and where they see themselves in the future! Take a listen and then go see them at Milk-o-Ween on Tuesday night and then at The Well for Dias De Los Muertos on November 1st!

I sat down with local band, Red Milk and talked about how the band came about, what they’re up to and where they’re going. Draven dialed in so it's a little hard to hear him but he transmits his message through his bandmates... Red Milk started out learning about music in the high school band world and that transformed their friendships into a punk band - they play everyone’s fav punk covers as well as their own songs. Their influences show up in their original tunes - I have to say they have a well-rounded sound and I can’t wait to see where they go. If anyone has a van they want to donate, these guys want to hit the road.

and don't forget, MilkoWeen is coming up on October 28th, free music, food and more! Wear your best costume and get down with the Red Milk crew and a few other bands like 3 Slum Punks, Los Suenos and more!

I sat down with Juan yesterday afternoon and we talked about GAFG, upcoming projects, skateboarding and Trinidad. If you know Juan, you know he has a long history here with making things happen. Being on the forefront of putting Trinidad gravel on the map, he has a lot of insight of the inner workings of this small town and the gravel industry as a whole.

We cover all things Gravel Adventure Field Guide, the gravel/biking industry, Trinidad and more!
