FM #1835 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1835 in the series.
This episode shares the audio recording of the ribbon cutting ceremony for the expansion to include 4,000 sq ft of outdoor space at the Children's Museum of Franklin on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
Meg Hagen and Erin Gallagher, founders/co-owners, get the group’s attention. We’re inside the museum as Cottage St is being ground up to repave so being outside for this speaker part of the ceremony would be a problem. They introduce the remaining speakers. After the speakers are complete, we gather outside for the formal ribbon cutting.
The recording runs about 17 minutes, let’s listen in

Hosts Kim Simone and Mark Lenzi exploring all things wine with you!
Adapting, Judging, and Unlearning Wine with Joe Roberts
In this episode of The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW), hosts Kim and Mark sit down for an engaging conversation with Joe Roberts, the creative force behind the long-running, award-winning blog 1WineDude. Joe is also the author of three fantastic books: Wine Taster’s Guide: Drink and Learn with 30 Wine Tastings, How to Win at Wine, and Unlearning Wine.
Joe shares the story of his background and reflects on how his blog has adapted over the years to stay relevant in an ever-changing wine landscape. We dive into the meaning behind his unique motto and explore the fun, creative reasons behind his famous wine badge rating system.
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned enthusiast, Joe explains why it is incredibly important to learn exactly what you like in the wine world—and, more importantly, how to actually put that knowledge to practical use. We also chat about the wine shop experience, exploring why different retail environments offer such vastly distinct buying experiences.
Finally, Joe pulls back the curtain on what is currently annoying him in the wine industry, defines what "cheap wine" really means, and gives us a fascinating inside look at what is truly involved in professional wine judging.
Tune in for a fun, educational, and candid episode!
