California Association of Public Information Officials logoDid you know that podcast listening has grown by almost 30 percent in the past three years? And with that growth comes an opportunity for public agencies to better engage with their communities. But what does it take to develop a government podcast and how do you attract listeners?

In the January episode of the CAPIO Chirp we hear from the City of Agoura Hills and the Cucamonga Valley Water District about what it takes to launch a successful podcast.

It’s a podcast about podcasting!

Listen now: So you want to start a government agency podcast? 

The CAPIO Chirp is produced by the California Association of Public Information Officials – a 1000 member strong organization focused on advancing public sector communicators. www.capio.org

Topics like this one along with a variety of other communications topics are being addressed at CAPIO’s annual conference happening this week in Monterey, California from May 1 – 4.
