Season 2 Kickoff with Chris Melton

Welcome to Inside Matthews, the podcast that brings you closer to the people, places, and organizations that make Matthews the vibrant town it is today. Hosted by Jim Taylor, former four-term Mayor, longtime Commissioner, and devoted champion of the community, this show pulls back the curtain on life in Matthews, from its small-town roots to its exciting future.

Jim knows Matthews inside and out, not just from the Boardroom or the Mayor's chair, but from years of listening, serving, and celebrating alongside his neighbors. With his trademark blend of passion, humor, and down-to-earth storytelling, Jim guides conversations that highlight what makes Matthews special, whether it's a beloved local tradition, a thriving business, or the stories of everyday residents shaping the town's future.

Each episode, you'll discover insights you won't find anywhere else: how Matthews has grown from a cotton and railroad town into a destination all its own, and what lies ahead for this thriving community. It's about connection, pride, and keeping everyone in the loop.

Whether you've lived here all your life, just moved in, or simply love the charm of small-town stories with big heart, Inside Matthews will make you feel right at home. Tune in, join the conversation, and experience Matthews, from the inside, out.
