Along a River in the Wilds: a Podcast

05/03/2020

We're coming out of hibernation*! Just dropped 3 EPISODES, now available on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.

This is the start of our Education series! First, we sat down with Angela Harding of Keystone Central Foundation to discuss district grants and support, then we have a 2-part set with Jacque Martin, who is the superintendent of Keystone Central School District. Hope you enjoy them!

[*as explanation - between final exams, boards, and creative angst, these have been marinating for a while, so I hope they are okay and we haven't lost your interest!]

So what is this page about?

Along a River in the Wilds is a podcast series launching in October 2019 that shares stories from rural North Central PA. The first season focuses on community initiatives, education, and healthcare in Renovo, Lock Haven, and Jersey Shore, with a smattering of other conversations and thoughts mixed in. I hope this page will serve as a gathering place for people who love these places along the Susquehanna River and in the Pennsylvania Wilds.
