Delaware Community Foundation Launches New Audio and Video Podcast
The Delaware Community Foundation (DCF), a top 100 community foundation nationwide and one of the largest charitable organizations in the state, today announced the launch of its new podcast, How to (Not) Kill Your Community. New episodes are available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube and other outlets, and will continue to roll out through the month of June.
Hosted by DCF President & CEO Stuart Comstock Gay, the series touches on the challenges communities face and innovative ideas for solving them.
“We’re in a moment when good ideas can transform our communities, and it’s our intent to amplify the best of them,” said Comstock-Gay. “Our guests, all of whom live or work in Delaware, are leaders in their fields. Together, we explore what strengthens, as well as what undermines, our communities. Each episode is both a lively conversation and thought-provoking.”
For the first time, the DCF is putting its podcast on video as well as audio.
“We want to reach people where they are, and more and more that means video,” said Mari Pack, DCF Director of Communication & Marketing, who produced the series. Video episodes can be found on the DCF YouTube channel. “Some were filmed at our beautiful new Lewes office and others in a great podcast space by 1440 Film Co.”
