Ep. 93: The Dusty End

Guests: Matt Stead, Ben Hassenger, Jeff Krebs Host: Stuart Yoshida It’s officially the Fall in the year of the Pandemic, and this month we dive into Retail-palooza. On the show we’ve got returning guest Matt Stead of The Uke Room in the UK; Ben Hassenger, the unofficially-official ukulele ambassador of Michigan; and Jeff Krebs of Yooptone music. Come join us for a conversation about how they’ve been dealing the changes to their ukulele shops brought on by COVID-19.
