    June is busy in a good way, and we’re here to share those ways with you! We even talk about the Dan Tyminski Band appearing at this year's Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree next month.

    We sit down with Kathy Hendrixson from the Justin Potter Library to get the scoop on the 2026 Summer Reading Program and upcoming community events, alongside Leah Gregory, Engineering Clerk at DTC Communications, who pulls back the curtain on the mapping, planning, and teamwork it takes to bring fiber internet straight to your front door.

    Plus, Justin takes us back in time for our Before the Wi-Fi segment to relive the nostalgia—and the minor headaches—of the way we all used to listen to music before streaming took over.
