The importance of community and getting hyper-local with Erica Jones

Erica Jones is a firecracker! She's also the Membership & Outreach Director of the Somerville Media Center. We talked about everything from family to getting hyperlocal to the future of public access television and its important role in the community in our current hyper-tech world. Prepare to laugh, or at the very least listen to us laugh. That happened a lot. And speaking of community, not long after we recorded this, her house burned down (thankfully everyone is OK!), and they started a GoFundMe campaign. They exceeded their $8000 goal by several thousand dollars in 2 days. Talk about community. <3

Om Podcasten

She+ Geeks Out (hosted by Rachel Murray and Felicia Jadczak) brings you the voices of womxn from all walks of life to share with you what they geek out about-- their passions, talents, struggles, and successes. This doesn't mean that they're going to be tech talks (although they might be!). Each episode will feature the hosts and their guests talking about topics including health, psychology, art, music, learning, and more-- the list goes on. Episodes are fun, engaging, and provide some nuggets of information that you can take away. Oh, and yeah, they might be awkward sometimes. That's just how we roll.
