Congratulations, Upper Valley, on Year One of local podcast production at CATV/JAM! We built it, and you came. Podcasting is emerging as one of our most powerful storytelling formats, uplifting marginalized voices, providing depth of analysis, liberating our eyes from screens while transporting us through our ears, and connecting people locally and globally. Upper Valley community producers Amanda Rafuse transitioned SPARK! Upper Valley Arts & Culture to podcast, Michelle Rogge and Julius Turner premiered Intersections, the Book JAM created Shelf Help, and Dismas House Hartford kicked off Going the Dismas. Give a listen and find inspiration to start your own!
