Born in the Bend is a podcast by Emily Scherer and Aimee Frederick, highlighting local gems, entrepreneurs, and awesome stories, originating in Fort Bend County, TX. The show arose out of a desire to foster community, create a sense of place, and instill pride in calling Fort Bend County home. Having grown up in Richmond, Emily brings the native Texan voice to the table, while Aimee, a South Louisiana transplant, brings the outsider's perspective. Their combined life experiences make for entertaining interviews, pulling different stories from their guests, and offering two versions of Fort Bend - where it’s been, and where it’s going. Emily & Aimee invite you to grab your favorite beverage, be it a cocktail or coffee, and give Born in the Bend a listen.
