The best towns, just like the best businesses, have a story.  There’s a simple reason why.  Because every single one of us is wired to connect with a great story.  We connect with the characters, love their simple flaws that remind us of our own, yell at the bad guys in a way we probably couldn’t in real life, and use the story to analyze our own perspectives on the world, how we would have done it, how we would have become the hero…or the villain. Our guest today has actually built the fabric of our town's story in a variety of ways.  First he wrote for a local public radio show called A Moment of Science, then he crafted many of the stories in Bloomington’s own magazine called Bloom.  Most recently, he when out on his own and started a podcast called BTown LowDown.  Btown Low Down, which has gained a ton of notoriety even though it’s less than a year old, breaks down the goings on in our little southern Indiana community.  Jeremy Shere and his cohost Jen Richler, chat about upcoming events, local phenomenon
