Introducing the People of Vista podcast! I'm your host, Vicki Henry, a long-time Vista resident and community enthusiast.

This is the very first episode of the podcast and of this series, where I give you the rundown on City Council meetings in 20 minutes or less, so that you can feel better informed and more connected to your community. Vista is certainly a place to be proud of and my sincere hope is that this series only furthers that feeling.
