Project 39 with Brian Amick

Hosted by Brian Amick, Project 39 is a podcast that focuses on local communities. Through a series of conversations, we will get to know the government officials, business owners, community leaders, and artists who shape our society. It is not our intention to influence anyone. Instead, our goal is to inform. We’re going to do that by sitting down and having one-on-one conversations with people. Hopefully, when we’re finished, you’ll have a better understanding of who these folks are, where they come from, and what they envision for the future of our community.
