Communicating with the Community

big reason as to why we started this podcast, but not really the only one.

There's more avenues for it.

So this was your idea.

Why don't you kind of explain why we're doing this podcast, what it's going to be, any other things about the podcast that might be beneficial for listeners to know?

Yeah, definitely.

So it was kind of an idea between myself and my internship supervisor.

That individual, you know, is no longer with the township.

Unfortunately, she had another opportunity out of state and it was best fit for her family and everything.

But we actually worked on it together way back when we thought, you know, this would be a cool opportunity.

Podcasts are popping up absolutely everywhere.

I feel like everybody has a podcast.

And another really great thing about communication is everybody receives their information differently.

Everybody has their own preferences.

So as opposed to like a traditional like reading through a paragraph or a story or an article, anything like that, like I think a podcast is such a great way for listeners to get information how they prefer.

I think it's something super simple.

You can throw it on while you're doing whatever, whether you're driving the car, if you're doing chores at the house, whatever it might be, you can throw it on and listen.

That said, too, I think the video like platform and aspect of it.

is something really important.

Again, just the world in general is moving a lot more towards digital and video content.

And even too, I love the idea of being able to sit down and have these conversations.

It gives us not only more time to talk to each other and understand everybody's roles a little better, but it gives our listeners the opportunity to put faces to names and who's doing the work that's making their community thrive.

Right.

Exactly.

I mean, I feel like transparency is a huge form of government.

Absolutely.
