Episode 1: Welcome to Upper Valley Vibes, and meet your host, Alex Torpey

Hi everyone my name is Alex Torpey, your host of the new Upper Valley Vibes podcast. As we get this thing going I wanted to share a little bit about my goals for the podcast, and first, share a little of my background so you all can get to know where I’m coming from and the perspective that will be part of this podcast. I think it's important to know about the context of people who we listen to, read, etc, and hope you'll join me to hear a bit about what informs my mindset. Do you know someone who is up to some interesting things around the Upper Valley? Reach out to me at [email protected]! I can't wait to bring you interesting stories of people doing amazing things in their communities around the Upper Valley.
