Town Matters Podcast

The Town of Brattleboro launched its first-ever podcast, Town Matters, in May 2023. Hosted by Town Manager John Potter, the show provides listeners with brief updates about town government. The show aims to inform the public and encourage active participation in local affairs.

Town Matters is published regularly between Selectboard meetings to provide a brief overview of the previous meeting along with a preview of the next one. The show is recorded at the Municipal Center in Brattleboro Community TV's third-floor studio.

Listeners can follow the show on it's official website or subscribe wherever you get podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Additionally, a video version of the show airs on Brattleboro Community TV and is published on YouTube. For updates on when a new episode is released, follow the Town of Brattleboro on its social media platforms.
