Have you ever been to a public meeting? Have you hosted one? What was it like? Could it have been better? In this episode, Sam and Bret share their experiences attending and hosting public meetings. We’ll also offer some ideas on how they could be better for practitioners and more meaningful for the folks that you are seeking feedback from. Also, bonus ‘Storytime with Bret’ and an unanticipated (and surprisingly in-depth) discussion about roundabouts in southeastern Ohio.   Who’s on it?Jared PerrySam TutenBret AllphinRecordedMarch 2021ResourcesAlbum art photo courtesy of Marietta Main Street: www.mariettamainstreet.org.
