Conversations from The Roasting Room
There's something about sitting down with a cup of coffee. It slows things down. It gives us a moment to understand one another, to learn from each other's stories — and to remember that conversation still matters.
Common Ground is a series of those conversations, recorded inside The Roasting Room at The Coffee Roaster in Lincoln, Nebraska. Each episode, hosts Randy Bretz and Dr. Marilyn S. Moore sit down with someone whose work, experiences, or ideas help shape the life of this community.
