Bonus Podcast: Annapolis Mayor Jared Littmann Checks In at 200 Days
2d ago00:36:12Tap to summarizeAnnapolis Mayor Jared Littmann joins us for a wide-ranging conversation marking roughly 200 days in office. He discusses securing funding for the City Dock project, reaching a tentative settlement in the HACA housing lawsuit, filling several key leadership positions, launching the search for a new police chief, and passing his first city budget without increasing the tax rate. We also dig into permitting reforms, including shorter review times and the possible use of artificial intelligence to screen applications for code compliance. Littmann explains why the police chief search includes a community advisory committee, responds to concerns about city communications and social media, and addresses the financial impact of the proposed $15 million HACA settlement. The conversation also covers progress at City Dock, the challenges facing nearby businesses during construction, proposed changes to downtown parking, the return of the Golden Pass program, and the mayor's priorities for the next 100 days. Littmann also reflects on what he considers one of his early missteps and what he hopes residents will begin noticing as investments in streets, sidewalks and other city services move forward.

Local Business Spotlight: Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum
5d ago00:40:42Tap to summarizeThe Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum is much more than a museum—it is Maryland's official home for African American history and culture, preserving stories that have shaped not only the state but the nation. This week on the Local Business Spotlight, Executive Director Chanel Compton Johnson shares how the museum serves as both a destination and a gateway, connecting visitors to African American heritage sites and stories throughout Maryland. Johnson discusses the museum's current exhibitions, including She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory, plans for a reimagined permanent exhibit, and why the museum's mission extends beyond preserving history to helping visitors better understand the present. She also talks about the museum's role in education, community partnerships, youth programming, and the importance of making African American history accessible to everyone. It's an engaging conversation about history, art, education, and why this remarkable Annapolis institution deserves far more attention than being called a "hidden gem." If you've never visited the Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum—or haven't been in a while—this episode is a great place to start. Have a listen.
