In Episode 89 of Downtown Depot, show host Austin Meek interviews Dry. Tyrha Lindsey-Warren, a Professor of Marketing at Baylor University. Dr. Tyrha discusses the hollowness of corporate “virtue signaling,” her work with the Waco Family & Faith International Film Festival, and how the city can be more racially inclusive. Before that interview, Austin hears about the pop-up vendor fair East Side Market from one of its founders, Andreas Zaloumis.
