It’s Your Voice
The Municipal Voice celebrates three years on the air
A
lot can happen in three years, as we have all learned. Just three years ago the CCM Communications staff looked at the media landscape and realized that there was great untapped potential in the podcast realm. And with a partnership with WNHH in place, we set out to tell municipal stories and speak to municipal issues that no one else was discussing – what better name for CCM’s podcast than the Municipal Voice? With nearly 80 episodes under our belt we have reached over 150,000 listeners across all of our platforms, which includes Facebook, Soundcloud, YouTube, and on the FM radio waves courtesy of our partners at WNHH. Viewers can watch the episode as it airs on Facebook Live or they can catch up with the broadcast later. That’s the beauty of podcasts. They open up a world of possibilities – one that many more people have tried out in the past year. According to Statista, less than 30% of people had regularly listened to a podcast in the past month. By 2021, that number was over 40%, and more than that, nearly 60% of people have listened to at least one podcast. This past year we have continued with our remote tapings of our episodes in accordance with 14 | CONNECTICUT TOWN & CITY | NOVEMBER 2021
