The Cape and Islands Podcast
Welcome to the Cape & Islands Podcast where we cover local people, their stories, important community topics, interesting visitors, some history and most importantly work to build a stronger community within Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket collectively.
This podcast will have multiple series and hosts over time. In addition to standard format interviews, one series I am excited about is the "Cozy Corner" where we'll have bands come into the Trove Art Gallery in Orleans and play live original music while also telling us a little about their band and history. Cozy Corner videos will be posted on the Cape & Islands Podcast YouTube page and the audio will be streamed through the standard podcast streaming platforms.
I am your host Clarke (future hosts will be added to the stable) my back story is I am a washashore resident of Cape Cod and moved here in 2018. I own Trove Art Gallery & Boutique in Orleans which I opened in 2019 as well as Checkpoint East Recording Studio and Safe Harbor Records which launched in 2020, also located in Orleans. While I may not be from here originally, I hope to do a good job promoting all of the fantastic local people that I have the privilege of meeting often through my various businesses. I am also a board member of WOMR Radio out of Provincetown. Thank you for listening and please do share feedback and recommendations for topics or guests at any time.
Cozy Corner videos are filmed by myself and Meegan Minahan, and are edited by the very talented Meegan. Sound engineering for Cozy Corner episodes by Logan Tichnor. All podcast interview episodes are edited and produced by myself.

Love Live Local: All About the 501(c)(3) Non-Profit with Co-Founder Amanda Converse
In this episode I speak with Amanda Converse, Co-Founder of the Love Live Local 501(c)(3) Non-Profit that has committed to supporting local businesses on Cape Cod.
"We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening Cape Cod's local economy by promoting the importance of supporting small businesses and fostering a thriving community." Read about their Vision & Values here!
Love Live Local was founded in 2013 and has grown steadily since that time. Now you'll see their Gift Guide and Field Guide distributed all over Cape Cod and hopefully you've already attended one of their 3 annual festivals, if not, don't miss the next one!
Amanda and her team also distribute amazing research reports and their annual reports are extremely comprehensive, detailing the significant impact the organization is having each year. Additionally they provide mentoring, problem solving and advocacy activities, as well as running their brick and mortar shop which contains 100 local artisans (539 South Street in Hyannis). So they are busy to say the least!
Thank you so much for listening and stay tuned for future episode with Amanda, I certainly hope to have her back! Below you'll find the Love Live Local contact and social media links as well.
