And, in another History Minute, Hannah Silberman takes us back through a century of history at the Municipal Building as the latest major renovations get underway, the first since 1998.

Welcome to Season Three! In this episode, Interim Chief of Police Jackie Stepp joins us as we highlight some noteworthy items from the past year. No big surprise, it’s a long list!

With several major events coming up in the next few weeks—including the G-20 Finance Track meetings, an official PGA tournament event, and the Mountain State Fair- Deputy Chief Sean Aardema shares some insights into the extensive planning these events require.

And as we begin Season Three, we invite back a guest from Season One, now-Detective Mackenzie Galyean. She was a Senior Police Officer last time on the Pod Squad, and we’ll get caught up with her.
