This week, we enjoy a conversation with Joe Mittiga. Joe is a husband, father, and the second-generation owner of Corby's Irish Pub in the East Bank neighborhood.

We discuss his path to being a small businessman, which includes a surprise (to us) stint at South Bend Lathe in its last days on Sample Street, the complexities of owning a bar during the pandemic, beer salespeople moonlighting as virologists, and more.

South Bend on Purpose is a podcast about place, belonging, and South Bend co-hosted by Jacob Titus, Dustin Mix, and John Garry. We enjoy conversations with the people who shape our city by practicing their purpose. And read poetry to reflect on our city and our own story in it.

New episodes are published every Tuesday morning. For comments and questions about the show, please write to comments@westsb.com. Thank you for listening.
