The San Luis Valley is an 8,100 square mile high alpine desert region in south central Colorado. Nestled between two distinct mountain ranges, this vast area is home to farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, multi-generational families, business owners and more. It abounds in year-round outdoor recreational activities of many types and is the headwaters area of the mighty Rio Grande River. The Valley as it’s known to locals is home to 6 entire counties and 3 partial counties, with more than 20 towns of various size. SLVoices is “Your Voice in the San Luis Valley” in south central Colorado. We create informational and entertaining podcasts by interviewing local people from local attractions, businesses, organizations and city governments. This helps spread the word about new and exciting endeavors from smaller local artists, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs who are helping to revitalize diminishing downtown areas in the various towns of this area. By doing this we are helping to create opportunities, jobs, and economic growth in some of the most historic and charming towns in the San Luis Valley.

Cool
This podcast was awesome to find. I’m from the valley, born and raised and it’s refreshing finding someone informing the people on the activities going on in our back yard! Actually it motivates me to get off the couch and go out and actually do something! 5 stars all day!
Utterly Worthless
Just another husband and wife team trying to cash in on the systemic corruption in the SLV. So naturally they protect it as they profit from it.
It is quite ironic as they claim to be making a difference here. But in reality, they are nothing more than shills selling their brand of corruption. Taking financial payments while fleecing the citizens here.
There are no difference of opinions, just what they can profit from while fleecing the citizens of the SLV a bit more.
Corrupt to the core.
Great local info!
This is a great way to get updated about interesting people and events happening in my local area. Keep it up!
