ChicoTalk is focused on local topics of interest for residents of Chico, Durham, Paradise and other nearby California communities. The format of the show is mainly interviews and roundtable discussions.
In our first season we take an in-depth exploration of the current state of homelessness in Chico Ca. We meet the service providers, community activists and law enforcement folks who are tackling this challenge head-on.
In the second season we meet some local entrepreneurs that own and operate stand-out businesses in the community. We learn how they got started, how they overcame adversity and what makes them tick!
In future seasons expect to meet your local politicians and learn about their policies - no quick sound bites here, just straight-forward conversations about local politics. Expect to also learn about Butte County’s coming cannabis industry and what to expect.
Local community conversations that matter - ChicoTalk is produced by AMP.build and Crush Restaurant. Learn more at http://chicocrush.com and https://amp.build or follow us on Instagram @chicotalkpodcast.

Customer Reviews
Eye opening
These have been great to listen too. One starts to realize that this is a complicated issue that will take a village to solve.
I would love to hear a medical professional from the local hospital interviewed as well.
It seems at times that the hospital becomes a long term shelter.
I hope that someone takes up the hosts offer and continues this conversation
Homeless series
This is the first ever in depth look at the issues of homelessness, crime and service providers in Chico. Thank you Chad, all participants and community members who are getting informed. No one is 100% right and no one is 100% wrong. It’s a conversation.
