Mackenzie and the crew trade stories about unexpected bar‑ownership headaches (equipment failures, big repair bills), a surreal Hot 99.5 shoutout from Intern John, the infamous power‑drill broken nose while assembling IKEA furniture for the bathrooms, and her next chapter as a songwriter finishing a long‑hidden Shania‑style country anthem.s PLUS: Listener Feedback Same Name This or That Find Mackenzie - Website: mackryanmusic.com Instagram: @themackenzieryan Bar: Brass Rabbit – Clarendon, VA Check out PodcastNV - Website: podcastnv.com Instagram: @podcastrnv TikTok: @podcast.nv","meta_description":"Arlington‑based musician and restaurateur Mackenzie Ryan returns to PodcastNV to share how she went from hospitality marketing to co‑owning Brass Rabbit i…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3770,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/podcastnv-music-interviews-pop-culture-6743781/episodes/mack-the-knife-featuring-mackenzie-ryan/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/podcastnv-music-interviews-pop-culture-6743781/mack-the-knife-featuring-mackenzie-ryan.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
