Newspaper podcast changes format

The podcast formerly known as the “Lavaca County News Review” will now be known as “Local Lowdown."

The program will still be co-hosted by Michelle Price and Murray Montgomery.

Previously, the podcast gave a weekly preview of items in the local newspapers including the Hallettsville Tribune.

Herald, Yoakum Herald-Times, The Shiner Gazette, and The Moulton Eagle.The county website for these papers is found at Lavaca County Today. com - the podcast also gives information featured on that website. According to Montgomery, “We will try to be more like a weekly news broadcast. Obituaries posted on the website will also be included in the podcast, as well as local meetings and upcoming events.”

Price and Montgomery work at the Hallettsville Tribune-Herald office and the podcast is recorded there.

“We just felt like we needed to make this change and have a more sort of laidback program. Our previous way of doing things seemed a little boring and limited our topics - we plan to have more fun with this one,” said Price.

The Local Lowdown will devote more time to highlighting businesses that advertise in all our newspapers.
