White Rock bears host to a wide range of cultural activities. One of the most culturally diverse takes in the community theater, both on the stage and behind the scenes. If you aren't involved with or haven't attended a production, then this episode gives you an idea of what you're missing. In this week’s podcast, host Angel Burch speaks with Fred Partridge, President of the White Rock Players' Club, an organization that has provided first-class community theater to the area since 1944. They talk about the history of the theater, the performances, and what goes into the production of a show. Most importantly, if you are a member of the White Rock community then they want to get you involved in a production as well. A Little about White Rock’s Volunteer Theater Fred kicks off this episode by looking back to the early days of the White Rock Players' Club. He paints a picture of what life was like in this sleepy resort town, including the club's original name, where they performed, and what alumni went on to make a living acting in professional local theater or working in the movie and television industry. In This Podcast Fred and host Angel Burch then go on to discuss the White Rock Players' Club's place in today's White Rock community, and about how you can take part in the action, whether under the spotlight, backstage, or as an audience member. They also discuss answers to these questions: What kind of productions are put on by the White Rock Players' Club? Are the writers always something from off-Broadway, or are they local as well? What happens during a show from the very start until the grand finale? How many people does it take to produce a show for community theater? What is the process for auditioning for a White Rock Players' Club show? So, take a few minutes out of your day, sit back and listen to podcast.

Sourdough bread helps dispel that impression you sometimes get that if it’s good for you it might not taste so good. It has been a staple product at The Hillcrest Bakery and Deli in White Rock simply because it tastes so great. It takes Hillcrest three weeks to ferment the dough to make their sourdough – but anyone who has tried it knows it’s worth it. But now there is more and more evidence that the health benefits of sourdough bread may be the real story. This Community Bakery Podcast presents Natalie Brown. She is a registered dietitian and nutritional consultant for 16 years and is with us to talk about the health benefits of sourdough bread. Natalie currently practices in the White Rock area and, in this podcast, answers the questions: Why is sourdough bread the better health alternative? Not All Yeast is the Same Natalie has researched the health benefits of sourdough bread and explains how the difference is in the way the dough processed. She discusses how the slow fermentation of the natural yeast created in the sourdough causes the ingredients to breakdown and to react. It does so in ways different from the other yeast breads that you may normally eat. This difference can impact your health. Why You Should Eat Sourdough Bread In this podcast, Natalie discusses the qualities of sourdough that make it a better choice for many bread consumers, those with health concerns like gluten intolerance, celiac disease and diabetes. She explains how everyone can benefit from making the change to this healthier bread without giving up the flavors and textures you enjoy. Natalie shares with us the current information and continuing research into this healthy alternative. In this Podcast Natalie joins podcast host Angel Birch to discuss some of the health benefits of sourdough bread. Some of the topics they cover include: How sourdough measures up as bread that can be enjoyed for people with diabetes or other glucose considerations. Why sourdough gets along so well with our digestive systems and what makes this bread better for those with celiac disease and gluten-intolerance. How sourdough bread provides a boost to our overall nutritional intake. Why the sometimes more expensive cost of sourdough products is worth every penny in the end. Why everyone, regardless of their health, should get on the sourdough bread bandwagon. So we invite you take a few minutes, relax and enjoy this conversation about the health benefits of sourdough bread. You’ll b
