Greg and Rory welcome long time listener, first time caller Rob Antonucci to the show. Rob is a regular behind the scenes collaborator with Common Thread, and today he joins us on the mic for what will be a two part episode.

The trio share updates related to the podcast and life. Rory discusses the recent tenth anniversary of Ugly Duck Coffee and some of the festivities they coordinated in recognition of the milestone including a magician for the kids, and (real) tattoos for the adults applied by tattoo artist Benton Sillick from Lucky Folk Tattoo. Rory reflects on the early years of the coffee shop, the work that went into building the business, and efforts by everyone on the UDC team to develop the shop into what it is today.

Greg announces an upcoming author visit, reading, and book signing he is coordinating at the Irondequoit Public Library featuring our guests from episode 4 of Common Thread. On Saturday, August 30th the authors of The Unraveling (Karl Buechner, Jeremy Mueller, and Keith Ward) will be in town for an after hours event that will feature food from Red Fern, drinks from Ugly Duck Coffee, and (temporary) tattoos for the kids applied by tattoo artist Adrien Clark from Axe of Kindness. The evening will conclude with a live set by Rochester's own Coming Down.

Rob discusses his other Disney themed podcast, The Dis-List Podcast, and insights and experiences from his career as a teacher including the delicate art of providing feedback on creative projects. Rob shares how he came to be an art teacher after considering a career in art, and expounds on how incorporating elements of performance art helps facilitate teaching teenagers.

The three also share recent releases they have enjoyed from across the spectrum of hardcore punk sub-genres and beyond.
