The 5+1 Podcast Series is a growing collection of audio interviews conducted by Pleasant Hill Chamber CEO Charley Daly. Guests answer five questions and then provide one takeaway for listeners in a
short, radio style program.
The Podcast Series has two main purposes:
Provide valuable information to Members and the greater business community via the content provided, which will include interviews with elected officials, City staff, entrepreneurs and other folks with knowledge, tips and advice
to aid local businesses and improve our quality of life.
Enable Chamber Members to not only share their knowledge and experience with others by recording a Podcast, but also to utilize their Podcast on their own web site for marketing purposes.
We Want Your Feedback
Audio pun aside, we need your input to grow and improve the 5+1 Podcast Series. Take a moment to suggest new topics and people you think would be good interviewees.
