NBC 15 features Discover Janesville!
Sarah Carlson of NBC 15 in Madison came down to the taping of Discover Janesville and did a great story about the program, which aired on the evening news both at 6 pm and at 10 pm. Here's the story
Watch the video of the story right here
The show itself turned out great and I can't wait to be able to post the finished footage.
My first guest was Sue Melton from the Janesville Area Conventions and Visitors Bureau. Sue's interview was also sponsored by the Southwest Wisconsin Workforce Development Board because prior to becoming a marketing professional, Sue was a welder, first at Beloit Corp., and then at another company in Evansville.
Other guests were Dennis LeCaptain of the Janesville Police Department, Gary King of the Janesville Transit System and John McManus of the Janesville Fire Department.

Discover Janesville at Speakeasy - Aaron Keim
Originally from Janesville, Aaron is a multi-instrumentalist who lives in Colorado and plays with the Boulder Acoustic Society. Aaron also has a Master's Degree in Musical History and he manufactures ukuleles. In our conversation, Aaron talked about growing up and working in Janesville and support he received from the Janesville community while developing his musical skills. Eventually our conversation shifted to talking about teaching and learning from others using the internet, which can be done from anywhere, and of course about the joys of playing a ukulele. Enjoy!

Discover Janesville at Speakeasy - Theresa Carroll
At daytime, Theresa Carroll is a mild-mannered associate at Bliss Communications, but at night, Theresa sings with Bop Ritual, a local rock/funk band. Our conversation centered on the value of expressing yourself, and remaining true to the things that are important in our lives. What I expected to be a good interview, turned out to be a great conversation. Enjoy!
