Hello Atelier | The (Coffee) Culture of Blowing People’s Minds
September 7, 2016 | | 1 min read
Flatland has teamed up with Hello Atelier, a Kansas City-based podcast that explores what it means to be a working artist. Hosted by Betsy Blodgett, the weekly podcast takes you into to the studios of designers of all different mediums to learn about their inspiration, their design process and the personal stories behind their art. Hello Atelier is presented by Phonicalia, a local independent podcast production company. Look for a new episode here on Wednesdays through November.
In episode three Hello Atelier sits down with Gregory Kolsto: Artist, coffee guru, and all-around inspirational dude. He talks us through his travels, his business, his art and how he is creating a culture of blowing people’s minds through coffee. When Kolsto gave Oddly Correct, his roasting company, the tagline “Freaking Out Your Morning Cup,” he meant it.
Find Hello Atelier’s podcast on iTunes or at the Phonicalia Media Productions website.
