About This Podcast

"East Main: 101" is a play on the address of City Hall in Jackson, TN, and the higher education term for General Education courses (i.e. Biology: 101; English: 101, etc.). In this podcast we will get to learn more about the people who work within our city government and how our organization works to make our city prosper -- from the Mayor's Office to the Police Department; from Recreation & Parks to Groundskeeping.
