Ep 215: Meet Me at the Q - Jeremy Whittington's Vision for Cinema Quattro
Step inside the future of entertainment with Jeremy Whittington, founder and creative director of Cinema Quattro, the exciting new boutique cinema opening this November in The NoLL at Liberty Lake. More than just a movie theater, Cinema Quattro is being designed as a creative community gathering place where film, art, music, and live events all come together.
Jeremy shares the vision behind the four intimate screening rooms, the upscale snack bar SnaQ, the stylish DrinQ bar, and an innovative LED screen room that will host everything from film premieres and concerts to poetry, presentations, and special events. We also talk about showcasing local artists throughout the space and creating an experience that extends far beyond the closing credits.
If you've ever dreamed of a movie theater that's as much about community and creativity as it is about cinema, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the Inland Northwest's most anticipated new arts destinations.

Ep 156: Alvin Williams, Comedian
You know we all need to laugh... it is so good for our psyche... especially these days.
This episode features Alvin Williams, a “stand-up” comedian since his post grad years in Boise in 2006. We had so much fun laughing and chatting with him.
For years, he has brought his unique brand of humor to a live audience, touring the United States and Canada from cruise ships to comedy clubs. Alvin's comedic style can now be enjoyed on the Audible Channel Series Sounds Like America, and his 4th comedy special, “Don’t Let the Devil Know...” is a must-watch on YouTube. Alvin’s comedy perfectly blends current events, relationship advice, family dynamics, and pop culture, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience for the audience.
Originally from Chicago, Alvin now calls Idaho home. He recently had a successful comedy show in Boise at the Egyptian Theatre and will be back by popular demand on July 12 at the Egyptian.
Don't miss the opportunity to catch Alvin host Comedy Night live at the Club at Prairie Falls. For show dates and times, follow Alvin on Instagram @Comicalvinwillams or visit his website at alvinwilliamscomedy.com. -

Ep 178: Captain David Kilmer, Sailor and Storyteller
Meet Captain David Kilmer, a man whose life has been transformed by the sea. An accomplished sailor and storyteller, David Kilmer's journey began when his father launched a little wooden boat for him, named Skipper-N-Dad. This early experience sparked a lifelong love for the sea, leading to his first bluewater passage at the age of 25, a transformative 2,300-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean.
By his early 30s, David Kilmer had already embarked on a life less ordinary. He ran off to the Caribbean, driven by a desire to become a boat captain, and spent five seasons working in the Grenadines. His book A Peril To Myself and Others is a vivid portrayal of those colorful and tumultuous times, a testament to the adventurous spirit that has always defined him.
His latest book, The Way of the Sailor, is a captivating set of seagoing essays, meditations, and small adventures that explores what it truly means to be a sailor, the challenges and joys of life at sea, and ultimately, how to better navigate life itself. His books often delve into themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the beauty of the open ocean.
You can purchase David’s books on Amazon or Goodreads, or locally at the Well Read Moose or Mix it Up Home. Follow David on Instagam@captainkilmer or wayofthesailor.com
