Hello Tallahassee friends!  This is our 1st episode of our 2nd season of Let’s Get Local Tallahassee.  I've missed yall so much during what felt like the longest summer in history.  So much has changed in the world around us... and also with this podcast.  Check out our updated concept, new intro, and fresh new conversations - starting with this episode, #21.During Season 2, we chat with neighbors as we share what we love about our hometown of Tallahassee, Florida.  Along the way, we’ll talk about supporting local, volunteering, and how we’re a little more connected than it might seem. 

Meet... The Village Square!

In our first episode of the season, we chat with neighbor Liz Joyner as we learn about the local nonprofit she founded 14 years ago and still runs today -- The Village Square.  (And we share an exciting announcement!  Spoiler... Village SquareCast.) 

The Village Square is building the townhall of the 21st century across the partisan divide.  They talk about the topics your mother told you never to discuss in polite company – politics, religion, and race.Liz riffs on the inspiration and story behind The Village Square, how they do what they do and why it’s easier than you think to change people’s minds about each other. She also shares why she has hope (and you should too).Listen in to find out more about this "nervy bunch of liberals and conservatives who believe that disagreement and dialogue make for a good conversation, a good country, and a good time."  And then join them.

Introducing... Village SquareCast

This summer our host, Vanessa Rowse, began working with The Village Square to produce their very own podcast - Village SquareCast.  We air all of Village Square's new programs, plus some of our favorite throwback programs that are surprisingly relevant today.Subscribe to Village SquareCast wherever you get your podcasts for more local content (and very important conversations!).
