Pottawattamie County Routes Sheila Jenkins on Small Town Stories, Podcasting, and Positive Media
On this episode of Pottawattamie County Routes, Todd Studer sits down in studio with Sheila Jenkins of the Growing Small Town Nebraska podcast and Growing Nebraska and Beyond. What starts as a conversation between two longtime radio veterans quickly turns into a deeper discussion about small town storytelling, the shift from radio to podcasting, and why positive, community focused media still matters. From tourism and day trips to on demand listening and controlling the narrative, this episode highlights how local voices can inspire pride and connection on both sides of the river. #PottawattamieCountyRoutes #SmallTownStories #LocalMedia #Podcasting #midwestcommunities #YourVoiceAmplified

Local Routes CPR Should Be Standard at Every Job with Marty Moore of Ready Responders 130
Marty Moore from Ready Responders 130 joins Local Routes to talk about why CPR training should be as normal as onboarding paperwork. Marty breaks down the real purpose of CPR, how fast time works against you in a cardiac emergency, and the biggest misconception out there: public AEDs are for anyone to use, anywhere, anytime. He also shares what makes his classes different, what businesses can expect for training time, and how one trained person can change the outcome for an entire family. Learn how to book a class and bring life saving skills to your workplace and beyond. #LocalRoutes #ReadyResponders130 #CPRTraining #AED #FirstAidTraining #YourVoiceAmplified

Todd welcomes Candy Steenblock, epidemiologist with Pottawattamie County Public Health, into the Studios on Willow to unpack what an epidemiologist actually does and why a new Radon Action Month proclamation matters.
