Customer Reviews
Great community podcast!
This is a great podcast that dives into the important topics and interesting community groups & people that contribute to the City of Medford. I especially appreciate Medford Bytes most recent interviews with the local candidates running for office. It’s been really helpful to learn about their positions on the issues & get a sense of who they are and what’s important to them.
A local gem filled with great information
Medford Bytes is filled with informative episodes about people, places, businesses and events in Medford, Massachusetts. The local election candidate interviews are the best source of information available that I have found - the conversations are in-depth and the hosts, Danielle and Chelli, do an excellent job asking questions to get a sense of the values of each candidate and where they stand on various issues. Featured episodes about local businesses with interviews of their owners are a great way to learn about so much of what this city has to offer. Assorted fun topics from the Medford Public Library podcast class and episodes featuring students from the local schools are a treasure.
Great local podcast
This is a great podcast made by people clearly dedicated to supporting their community and amplifying the voices within the community. A helpful resource, particularly in election season.
