Hot Corner. That’s the name reporter Mark Brodie from Phoenix NPR affiliate KJZZ (91.5 FM) came up with for an occasional short segment on the locally flavored program, The Show (Fridays, 2 p.m.)
Every now and then, Mark and I meet somewhere in the Valley to talk about new restaurants. I love talking about these independently owned spots, and celebrating the neighborhoods where these restaurants reside.
Below (with the most recent first) are links to all the Hot Corners we’ve recorded to date. Another one is on tap soon, and I’ll post it here when it runs. In the meantime, you can catch up on where we’ve been so far here. And if you like hearing stories about Phoenix, tune into The Show every Friday at 2 p.m. on KJZZ (91.5 FM).
