What's Up ABQ

Sure, it's the week of Thanksgiving, but whether you're off on break or still out there adulting like a champ (We see you! Respect!) education in our city is a huge deal. Parents want to give their kids every opportunity and students want a place that's cool and teaches them things they uh actually need and want to know. Solare Collegiate Charter School has all that and more. I mean seriously, aft...

Living in ABQ means actually... you know... living here! Whether that means you're in EDO or South Valley, the Heights or Barelas (or wherever else you hang your hat) it probably means you've had to buy or sell your home at one point or another. Moving is a fact of life for nearly every Burqueno. Mark & Robert know this better than most since they've been helping locals with the ins and outs o...

The ultimate in-town experience is something we're all hunting for - whether it's abroad or right here in Burque. What's better than to not only have great service with a killer aesthetic but to have it done locally. We're talking historic locale, local craft brews... even local ghosts. Gone are the days where we could only pick from a handful of chain hotels. Where we had our choice of compliment...

The only thing true Burquenos love more than their green chiles is their beer (and coffee). That's why we're always on the hunt for a great neighborhood brewery that also dabbles in caffeine. Throw in an art gallery and a killer outdoor patio and it's perfect. Enter the folks at Thirsty Eye Brewing. They're your quintessential EDO place to be. In this one, we talk beer, Burque, and what's happenin...

Sooner or later it's gonna happen. No, we're not talking about getting stuck in traffic on the Big-I, either. In this special bonus Halloween episode, we talk with certified thanatologist Gail Rubin about what end of life looks like for New Mexicans, as well as her on-going efforts to help locals ready themselves for the end in highly practical ways. Enter: the Before I Die NM Festival - an annual...

What was that? Have you seen it? Did you hear it? No, it's not your imagination. Our special extra long, extra spooky Halloween episode is here! This time, Linds & Ryan talk real history and real ghosts with Old Town expert and paranormal hunter Julie Brown. While we've all been to old town, most of us haven't been to old town after dark, when the shadows grow thick and the cats, like familiar...

We're coffee people. You know it. I know it. The whole town knows it. What you might not know is just how good Stan's Coffee & Scones is at pouring our daily fix over in Uptown. Seriously. And what's better to pair your favorite caffeine fix with than a handmade scone? Nothing really. Plus, Stan's doing it all out of a vintage airstream trailer! This one's all about what Albuquerque's preferre...

We're always looking for the next spot to hang out at around town. Whether it's grabbing a few beers with friends over at Thirsty Eye or chowing down on chicken at Happy Chickenzz over at El Vado, there's absolutely no shortage of sweet places to check out all over Albuquerque. You know it, we know it, and Javier Romero knows it. That's why he's introducing an awesome computer-based app called Han...

A sweet hair cut is something we all need. Thus begins our eternal hunt for the absolute best place in town to obtain one. We're here to tell you EDo's Barber shop is top notch. Joe is not only New Mexico True, he's also handy with a straight-razor too! Pull up a chair and catch up on your around-town gossip, because this episode is all about the life and times of a local barber in the heart of ou...

Robot Law. It's coming soon.  While it may sound like sci-fi, how living in an increasingly global world effects local businesses right here in our fair city on a day-to-day basis. Whether it's AI shaping how we expect commerce to take place online or how our state is faring legally in the world of intellectual property, Larry Donahue and his team are the bleeding-edge legal resource for our...

So, you might have heard of them. Maybe you already grabbed a beer with friends over at Starr Brothers and watched a game or three. Chances are, you already know exactly who we're talking about because the whole city is in on this one. That's right, we're talking New Mexico United right here on our humble little podcast, with none other than CEO/owner Peter Trevisani. We get right into the nitty-g...
