    • Starting the conversation: Who we are and how we got here

      Studio Stillwater hosts Michelle Charles and Chris Peters introduce themselves, talk about what they hope to accomplish with their podcast and how you can become a part of that.

      Michelle is a community journalist and Chris is the director of Stillwater's Main Street program. They both have seen a need for more people to sit down, connect as human beings and have in-depth conversations about the issues facing the city they call home. They also want to highlight the stories of people who make Stillwater a better and more interesting place to live. They invite listeners to get involved in those conversations and tell Studio Stillwater what they want to hear.
