Life Connected. Podcast

We are excited to announce the rebranding of the Life in Celina Podcast to the Life Connected. Podcast! After producing over 100 episodes, we recognized the opportunity to enhance the way we share the City’s story through this medium. In the coming weeks, we will introduce a short-form podcast, followed by a video podcast component. This podcast will align with the Life Connected. Magazine, featuring a main episode that complements the magazine's feature story with additional video elements.

 

Furthermore, the City will release mini-episodes between the main features, presenting our story in an audiobook format. The rebranding aims to engage and inform residents through diverse and innovative formats that showcase the City in unique ways. We hope you enjoy this new format!​
