This project has been coming for a long time, and I’m excited to finally share it with you all. Policy and Place is dedicated to exploring local government and the policies shaping our community – presented in a way that’s clear, accessible, and (hopefully) enjoyable! In each episode, I’ll dive into the latest local news, break down important issues, and share stories from around our area that often get overshadowed by national headlines.
Why am I starting this podcast? Because local policies impact us in countless ways, and understanding them is the first step to building a more connected and informed community. Whether you’re a Monmouth resident or just interested in how local government works, I hope you’ll tune in!
New episodes drop every 1st and 3rd Tuesday. Policy and Place is available on all major podcast platforms (including Apple Podcasts) or directly at https://policyandplace.buzzsprout.com
Policy & Place covers local news from Monmouth, Illinois, and Warren County, Illinois. Warren County is a traditional Midwest town and the county seat of Monmouth, Illinois is home to a large pork production plant ( Smithfield Foods ) and a liberal arts college (Monmouth College) with a population of approximately 10,000.
