Jojo’s Espresso owners, Taylor and Hannah Whiddon, join Holly Whitfield on Sound Bites. They discuss what’s new as well as the heartbreak that led them to open the coffee truck that evolved into a brick-and-mortar business. And yum, the sip of the week is an orange creamsicle latte. The Germantown Jojo’s Espresso is at 1730 S. Germantown Road. Jojo’s Espresso also has a grab-and-go stand at Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital. And as the cost of new homes skyrocket, Bill Dries looks at affordable housing on “Behind the Headlines.” Roshun Austin, director of The Works Inc. community development corporation, and Amy Schaftlein, executive director of the nonprofit United Housing Inc. are his guests. They discuss ways builders are responding to homebuyers looking for affordable houses including 3-D printed houses, and constructing houses that are smaller and taller.
