Naptown Buzz Newsletter: April 14, 2016

Hello, Indianapolis! It’s been awhile since the last Naptown Buzz mailing, but never fear, we’ve been hard at work putting together some new and exciting features for you to enjoy.

First up, we’ve taken the podcast to a new level and will be adding videos on a more regular basis. While we’ve done some video features in the past, our main multimedia focus from the start was the audio podcast side of things. Long story short, we’ve purchased some new video equipment and are ready to roll with the videos, which you can subscribe to at youtube.com/user/naptownbuzz/.

Related to the video foray, we’ve added regular “What’s Happening” & “Twitter Buzz” segments and have begun rolling out “Travels” & “Eatup Indy” segments as well. More ideas are in the works, but those should keep everyone busy for awhile.

And finally, this all takes time and money to put together. In order to free up our time we’re now asking you, our subscribers/fans/followers, to help crowdfund what we’re doing here at Naptown Buzz for as little as ONE DOLLAR per month. Sure, that doesn’t sound like much, but those dollars can add up quickly. And if you run a local business, you can support us for as little as $5 per month. For more information on sponsoring Naptown Buzz, please visit patreon.com/naptownbuzz.

Without further ado, here’s the latest Naptown Buzz: “Your source for all things Indy”.

Eatup Indy: Rural King Snacks (Spring 2016)
