Spartanburg City News

it's become something of a tradition on the podcast for us to take on broader topics and themes during the holidays. Partly it's the slow news time, partly it's that we tend to get a little philosophical around this time of year, but mostly it's that we like imagining all of you, gathered with family and friends around the old bluetooth speaker, listening to the dulcet tones of a deeply nerdy local government podcast. It's a fun fantasy for us. On this week's podcast, served up just before you stuff your face with delicious Thanksgiving food, we're talking about the importance of your involvement in local government. With it not only being a holiday week, but also one following after a contentious national election, we thought it might be important to remind all of you why your voices matter here, and why, if we're being totally honest, Spartanburg's future depends on it. So sit back, try not to think too much about that overstuffed belly of yours, and listen to why you matter to us.
