Pittsburgh Podcast Rohrich Honda

Do you know what the letters MSRP mean? We usually hear it fast at the end of commercials, but Rohrich Honda takes them seriously since it means manufacturer suggested retail price. That means they don’t increase car prices to make a fast buck during a time of inflation, instead they sell cars and build relationships. Visit rohrich.com for all of your vehicle needs.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: 

Are you a bougee water drinker and what’s the brand of choice?

5:22 Nina Barbuto

Since 2011, Assemble-founder Nina Barbuto makes the most of her space with after-school programs, summer activities, and out-of-the-box ideas to “make” things come to life, even if it’s Rachael making coffee in the morning. She talks about the creativity that excels at Assemble and the programs it offers while giving the most well-explained answer for bougee water!

Reclaiming the sounds of their culture, https://www.royceband.com/Royce and Ja’Sonta Roberts, also Assemble’s Off-Site Manager, showcase the inspiration for the music they make by incorporating Black Rock-infused soul, R&B, Blues, among many other genres into the mix, with thanks to Royce’s trip halfway around the world to find solace in his music. With Ja’Sonta’s off Broadway career and Royce’s meditation insights to Black Rock inspirations, there’s surely going to be a part two and three interview.
