SPOTIFY LINK: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/UXS1p8pSq4b

Description

In this episode of ParkerCAST, I sit down with the woman behind one of Parker County's most talked-about Facebook communities, Turkey Talk. Megan Cable shares the story of how the page began, how it grew into a community of more than 13,000 followers, and what really goes into deciding which stories make the page—and which ones never see the light of day. We discuss the constant stream of tips, rumors, and requests she receives, why some stories simply can't be verified, and how she approaches the responsibility that comes with running such a visible platform. Megan also reflects on the few regrets she's had along the way, explaining that she does her best to back up what she posts with receipts and credible information. Then, she completely surprises me by revealing something I never saw coming: she's also the creator of the hugely popular Weatherford Moms Mafia page, with more than 30,000 followers. It's a fascinating conversation about social media, community influence, entrepreneurship, and the creativity behind two of Parker County's most recognizable online communities.
