The word "audit" has a certain reputation. However, in this episode we talk about the extreme value of audits and why they're not as scary as some people might think.  We speak with County Internal Auditor David Givans and Performance Auditor Aaron Kay about how they use their skills to help employees and community members alike.

This month we talk to Director of Solid Waste, Chad Centola and Incoming Director, Tim Brownell. They discuss the landfill siting process and some of the adventures on their jobs. You won't want to miss this very interesting conversation.

Spring is upon us and that means prescribed burns are right around the corner.  We talk to Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Chang, Forester Kevin Moriarty and Climate and Health Coordinator Sarah Worthington about the potential impacts.

On our inaugural Inside Deschutes County podcast, we welcome Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone. We discuss courthouse expansion, the idea of a managed homeless camp in south Bend and much more.
