Episode 36: Happy podcast anniversary!

On July 31, 2018, the first Check It Out! podcast aired was posted.

In this episode, co-hosts Ken Harvey and Jim Hills, along with podcast producer Debie Murchie, take a look in the rear-view mirror. Together, they share how the podcast came about, remind each other of the growing pains along the way and reminisce about their favorite moments over more than 30 episodes.

"Some of our guests are really community heroes," Harvey says adding that some are celebrities in their communities, some are community leaders and regional leaders. "Coming in, everyone thinks that no one will be interested in me as a person. Maybe what I do or have done, but not me."

Murchie shares that one of her favorite episodes was with Sarri Gilman.

"It was about finding your boundaries," Murchie says. "Being able to say 'No,' and knowing when to put yourself first. Yes, help when you can, but sometime need to take a step back."

Hills notes that while in some ways the podcast is an extension of the idea behind the well-received TEDxSnoIsleLibraries series which focused on interesting and accomplished individuals from the community.

"I wondered how deep the well would be (for podcast guests)," Hills says. "Now that we've done this for a year, I see that the well will never run dry."
