V4 EPISODE: Helena business owners share their stories and struggles during a pandemic
This podcast was not in the original lineup for this season but because of the current pandemic impacting our local community we felt the need to get in touch with some of the small business owners and find out how they are coping. Through this podcast we hope to put faces on the businesses out there in the Helena community that are struggling as we all learn to navigate the waters during the COVID 19 pandemic. We want to start the conversation and find out ways people can get involved during this time.
Thanks to:
Jason O'Neil, photographer and owner of The Sidecar, a co-working community space.
Lindsey Barnes, owner of The General Mercantile
Lindsay Lechman, owner of Big Dipper Ice Cream

V4 EPISODE: Errol Koch- The Myrna Loy and The Heath
Errol Koch has Theatre in his blood and knows if you are going to make it in this industry you must put in the work. He has a very, "if you build it, they will come" mentality. "If you really want to be an artist and you want to make it, you got to make it yourself," said Koch.
A University of Montana Theatre and Music major, he got his start in the business working at one of Helena's most unique and vibrant art centers -The Myrna Loy. What some may not know, is how Koch is one of the people who played a vital role in keeping the Myrna Loy afloat during dark financial times and helping it flourish after.
Koch recently became a small business owner, founding a performance venue in Helena called The Heath. "You've got to create your stage sometimes. I'm hoping to be a part of that for people. I want to help people find their voice and find their stage," said Koch.
You can read more about The Myrna Loy online and in print in Vol. 4 of The Local:
