Season 3, Episode 15 – Tehachapi Update – Mini-Pod
TehachaPod debuts a new addition to the TehachaPod lineup with a mini-pod(cast).
The goal of the mini-pod is to provide a quick update on some of the upcoming community events and monthly meetings. A short conversation to remind the community of what to look forward to. Joining Budge on the first mini-pod is Jeanette Pauer the president of the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce. Jeanette shares updates from what is happening in April and early May with the events in the local business community. Topics covered in this episode include things occurring in April and May in and around Tehachapi.
