A special series of community conversations begins today . We call it “You’re Talking, and WLBC’s Listening,” airing at 9 a.m. today – we plan to invite guests to talk about how our communities move forward, discussing local and national issues that impact us locally. Our first guest will be Mitch Isaacs from the Shafer Leadership Academy today, with plans for a guest each day next week, and perhaps the week to come in an effort to even better serve our communities.
