There’s never a bad time to expand your musical horizons, and mid-pandemic is no exception. So we got ahold of Jill Hopkins, host of The Morning AMP at Vocalo, Chicago’s urban alternative radio station, to provide us with some positive listening. Nerdette listeners supplied the rest. Enjoy!(Need a list of the songs in this week's episode? Check it out right here.)

In No. 58, Steve & Colin provide their own recap and dissection of all things alphabet soup that have happened in, around, and following on from Dublin’s week as host city for World of Coffee 2016. This week episode includes, but is not limited to (by any stretch…!), to some of the following topics: emcee rules (and how to break them), an epidemic of box-ticking, being thoughtfully dressed down, an exploration of morality, why the team at 3FE are legends, tradeshow blues, an example of what happens when you push jenn too far, the recent flurry of online activity surrounding SCAA/SCAE unification, and Colin’s newest crush(es). www.nuovasimonelli.it/en/

It’s been quite a whirlwind these past two weeks—UK National Coffee Throwing Championship, Cup North, and BGE’s CoLab: Paris—but after three very successful events, we’re back in the post-editing chair and ready to share some of what’s been said. First up from Cup North is none other than 3FE’s mad-ideas man, Tamper Tantrum co-founder, and all around gentle giant, Colin Harmon with his twitter-sourced talk title, “Fuck Cupping.” Described as “an exploration of cupping as an appropriate process, and the silly metrics we use in coffee shops”, “Fuck Cupping” is an eye-opening look at the cupping protocol, its use in shops, and what it means to be innovative in general. We don’t really have much to say other than that, really. This is Colin’s third talk at a live event and it’s just as much of a mic drop as his presentation at the first ever Tamper Tantrum in 2011.
