Yeah, you read that right. Student journalism students from Lee's Summit West recently spent a day at Lee's Summit Town Hall's Bridge Space studio learning about podcasting and interview techniques.

In the coming weeks, we'll try and share some of the other student interviews. Here are Lee's Summit West's Hayden Peters and Emily Gerhart.
Musician, teacher and all-around good egg, Shawn Harrel joins the show (and brings along some students) talk about an upcoming jazz concert and the work his digital media students are doing in the community.

Discussion of coworking among those who support it most are often peppered with descriptions like communal, collaborative and close-knit. In the age of COVID-19 and social distancing, many of those once-complimentary descriptions are akin to four-letter words. Amid that shift, shared workspace operators and tenants have been forced to adjust. This week's episode of Speaking Startup features a conversation with Ben Rao, founder of Bridge Space, a coworking facility in the Kansas City area. He discusses how his facility has navigated coronavirus adjustments. Plus, downtown Columbia's biannual restaurant week is designed to drum up customers for local establishments during what's typically a slow season. But this year, with business already brought to a halt by the coronavirus, restaurant week has taken on a different feel for many local restaurant entrepreneurs.
