Erin Murray drives all the way from Evansville, Indiana to appear as this week’s guest. She’s a singer-songwriter who considers Lancaster County her second home. This episode features a live recording of “One Way Radio” and a studio version of her unreleased track “Beautiful Day.” You can learn more about Erin and hear more of her work on the Erin Murray MySpace page.
Whenever we have old friends on the show, the result is more fun and casual, and this week is no exception. We had a lot of fun conversing and we hope you enjoy listening.
Last reminder—if you haven’t yet taken a minute to complete our August Listener Survey, we would greatly appreciate if you did so now.
We’re lining up our fall schedule of guests, so now’s the time to let us know if you’re interested in sitting down to talk with us, or if you know someone we should invite. Just shoot David an e-mail at feedback@thelancast.com.
Finally, we can’t say enough how much we appreciate it when listeners like you review The Lancast on iTunes. It helps new listeners become part of “the cast.”
We talk this week with Representative Bryan Cutler. During his visit to the studio we talked about his path into the political world. In the second half Bryan tells us how he uses social media to keep in touch with his constituents.
We hit the road this week to travel all the way to the west side of Lancaster city to record with the band Kheris in their garage rehearsal studio. The release of their new album, The World Outside, coincides with the release of this episode of The Lancast.
The members of Kheris are Steve Slesser, Keith Slesser (Steve and Keith are brothers), Aaron Gagne, Rob Nye, and Kyle Kettering.
This episode includes a live performance (the poor mixing is our fault) and the studio version of “Angel” from their new album.
Kheris will be performing in Lancaster on Sunday, August 22nd with The Sketties. Watch their MySpace page for more information.
Also, be sure to listen to the most recent episode of Around the Wood Stove, another podcast produced here in Lancaster. Jason Mundock interviews us about The Lancast and the podcasting scene in Lancaster County.

Lancaster city resident Russell Frost, a commercial photographer and marketing professional (through Frost Imaging), tells us how he and his family decided to move from Florida to Lancaster eight years ago, how he established his business here, and what a few of his key aspirations are.
One of his aspirations is to help other Americans warm up to hybrid vehicles, a goal he pursues through his podcast What Drives Us and a website for the Prius Owners Group. Another of his aspirations is to help give alternative arts a big boost in Lancaster, and Creative Works of Lancaster is how he pursues that one.
Russel tells us about his adventure last year doing the Prius Drive Thru, during which he drove across the country in a brand-new Toyota Prius visiting national parks, taking photographs, and blogging the experience.
And, if you’re a photographer interested in learning from Russell (hint: you should be), he’s sharing much of his knowledge through The Aperture Collective.

Penn Cinema in Lititz, PA is that rare independent theater that provides a first-rate movie-going experience while also being commercially successful. Managing partner Penn Ketchum and film buyer Andy Tuzzino are the brains, brawn, and sense of humor behind much of that success, and this week we get to sit down with these two Lancaster County residents for the second time in Lancast history.
The first episode with Penn and Andy, released exactly one year ago, covered how Penn Cinema began as well as giving a preview of 2009′s summer movies.
This time around Penn and Andy begin with a look back at the memorable films from the past twelve months, including their thoughts on the rise of 3D in the movie industry. In the second half of the show we get a new summer movie preview for 2010, as well as the inside scoop on the IMAX theater Penn Cinema is building, which will open this November.
This episode is longer than usual, but that’s because Penn and Andy are so much fun to talk to.

We were impressed this week by Mike and Donna Snyder, also known as The Magic of Mike Snyder and Donna, who are two fun and professional people who really love what they do. Not only are they pretty ordinary people with extraordinary things to say, but also they are only the second married couple we’ve ever had on The Lancast.

Pittsburgh singer-songwriter Joy Ike was in town for the second annual Launch Music Conference here in Lancaster, PA, and we had the opportunity to sit down with her for a chat about her artistic process, her impressions of Lancaster, and how she’s using the Internet to promote her music.
Joy raised 75% of the funds to cover the cost of recording her forthcoming album through her Kickstarter project.
Infused with energetic passion, Joy preformed two songs for us on the show. A video of her performance of ‘Sweeter’, off her upcoming album, while at our studio is shown below.

The owner of Revival Skate Shoppe on North Queen Street sits down in his shop to talk about skating culture in Lancaster and all that goes with it. We also had the unexpected pleasure of being joined by Brian Muller, a sales rep for Elwood skate clothing, which Revival carries.
