ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Visit us at: https://ncdn.work
We aim to present our take on what's happening in our country as well as to offer new ways forward through action and thoughtful insights by people who live, work, and recreate in our Great North Woods. We are a grassroots endeavor.
We will begin with a lot of experimentation which includes interviews with community members and local news makers alike, story telling, events calendars for folks who are looking for ways to be in community and to make some noise, deep dives into topics that affect Northlanders, and things we haven't thought of yet. And, that's where you come in! You will have an opportunity to suggest topics and people you'd like to hear from. We will need your feedback to make each show better than the last one; we welcome your constructive comments, ideas, and questions.
