Customer Reviews
Superb Local News Coverage
I was worried that the length of the podcast was going to be a liability. After listening to the first show I find the news stories compelling and enough time was given to put the story in context to help answer the question “why should I care about this story”. Great start. May this live long and prosper. (Sorry, I’m in the middle of a Star Trek marathon.)
