Talking Local is the new monthly podcast from Think Local First — co-hosted with Santa Cruz Vibes — celebrating the makers, dreamers, and everyday heartbeat of Santa Cruz County. Each episode is a conversation grounded in the Think Local First ethos: supporting the people who build our community one small business, one good idea, and one shared moment at a time.

Hosted by Think Local First board members and produced in partnership with the Santa Cruz Vibes media team, Talking Local weaves together interviews with local business owners, community leaders, artists, chefs, musicians, and neighbors who are shaping what it means to live and work here.

It’s about story over slogans. Community over convenience. And the belief that when we invest in each other, the whole county grows stronger.

Welcome to the table. Let’s talk local.
