Return of The Gaming Mixologost

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed
Episode 129Download

It’s a leveled-up reunion nearly three years in the making!

After two years and 11 months, Frankie Francis (aka The Gaming Mixologist) is back in our ears! This wasn’t just a scheduled interview—it was destiny. After host Alicia coincidentally crossed paths with Frankie three times in a single week, we knew we had to get him back on the mic to see what he’s been up to.

Since his last appearance, Frankie’s digital presence has exploded, and he’s officially entered the world of merch! In this episode, we dive into:

The Modern Bar Scene: What are the “kids these days” actually doing in the world of nightlife? (The answer might surprise you!)

The Great Generation Debate: We try to settle once and for all which generation we actually belong to.

Leveling Up: Frankie talks about his growth in followers, views, and building a brand.

Welcome Back Great Blue Herons!

Posted on by Pat D

We were delighted to find some of the Great Blue Herons have returned to their rookery after losing all the nests a couple of years ago in a windstorm. We’ve been missing them! One of the herons took exception to a predator flyby and the verbal response from the heron was quite impressive. We’ll be watching the nests for youngsters in the next few weeks.
