About this episode

Carrie Rollwagen discusses community building and storytelling with Myres Allen and Stephen Peacock from the Word of Mouth Podcast.

In this episode of The Localist, Carrie Rollwagen sits down with Myres Allen and Stephen Peacock, the hosts of Word of Mouth Podcast, a Birmingham show dedicated to telling the stories of people doing interesting and meaningful things in the city. This is the second half of a podcast swap: Carrie appeared on Word of Mouth first, and now the tables are turned. Myres and Stephen talk about why community, not content, has always been the real mission behind the show, how they think about building connection in an increasingly isolated world, what it is like when strangers know you better than your close friends because they listen every week, how they divide the work behind the scenes, and where they hope Word of Mouth grows as a platform, a brand and maybe eventually a full business. If you are a small business owner, a content creator or just someone who loves Birmingham and wants to understand what it takes to build something from nothing, this conversation is honest, fun and full of ideas. 🎥 Watch the Full Episode on YouTube ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 💻 Connect with Word of Mouth Podcast Word of Mouth Podcast…
