I am doing an in-depth story looking into how businesses, venues, and artists have been affected by the pandemic this year and what we may expect to see next year for live entertainment & the performing arts.

I just got done this evening holding a webcam interview with a local studio owner from Wakeeney who was forced to sell his business due to complications from the pandemic. I just need to go through and edit the 40min interview down to a couple minutes…

Finally, I just received an email back from the general manager of Tony’s Pizza Events Center answering a handful of questions I had sent her. I was also able to ask the owner (Blake) of the music store chain, Mid-West Music, a handful of questions for my report. Blake also performs in a local band which he spoke on behalf of.

I may grab a few more interviews and comments from locals, but the bulk of my content report is ready and just needs to be sorted through.
