In this episode we migrate a couple blocks down from our home at the XL Public House to the Cherry Beans open mic event for First Fridays. This was our first time there so we kept the episode short but packed it with a bunch of great content. We also chat with Rebecca from the Midnight Thieves after her acoustic set. 

We have been at this podcast thing for just about 4 months now and our audience has grown tremendously! So we decided to do an episode focused on the listener. Are we talking about topics that interest you? How can you listen to Salinas Underground everywhere you are? How can I be a guest on the show? Who the hell are these guys, anyway? Why Salinas Underground? All those questions and many more are answered in one neat little one hour episode.
