What makes for a good podcast?

It’s a question we explore with our guests, who are part of a new regional podcast network. Podcast hosts Chris Lindstrom and Matt Austin launched the Lunchadornetwork earlier this week. It’s an opportunity for creative people in the local arts and food and beverage scenes to collaborate on content and share their expertise and stories with the community.

This hour, we discuss the new network and work of the people behind it. Our guests:

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
Megan Mack is the executive producer of "Connections with Evan Dawson" and live/televised engagement programming.
