About This Podcast

Put simply, Community Convos (a.k.a. "The Convo") is a conversation about our community. Mid-Michigan is truly an awesome place to live, and Community Convos connects you with the people who put the “festive” in our festivals and those that give “traction” to our attractions. This program also explores the impactful changes and the developing resources that contribute to community growth. Join the conversation, as this podcast-radio program gives you the who, what, when, where, and why on all things Mid-Michigan.
