Hey, LaGrange!

My focus this week is on the available COVID-19 vaccines available here in Troup County. I’ve brought in District 4 Public Health representative, Hayla Folden to discuss the various vaccines and their side effects, efficacy and answer your questions. I was very appreciative that Hayla sat down to speak with me and I hope you find the interview informative and engaging! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support [https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support]

This week’s interview gets heavily political as I interview Kevin Littlefield, the Chairman of the Troup Democratic Party and a member of the State Committee for the Democratic Party. He is also a veteran of the Iraq War. We talk about both the Chairman position and his service in the army during the war throughout the interview. As always, I hope you enjoy listening. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support [https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support]

This week’s guest is Holly Roberts, Coach for Circles of Troup County. Holly was an inspirational guest! She lights a fire under me and reinvigorates me for service in my community. Her servant heart is just contagious. Holly shares her story, how she left the local school system and how she joined Circles. From there she discusses all that she loves about Lagrange. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support [https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support]

The episode this week has a very special guest: Casey Duffield of The Foundation for Casey’s Cure (www.caseys-cure.org). I first met Casey when she moved to GA. The friend she talks about in the interview was actually my next door neighbor at the time. Her son sat with Alastair and I while my wife taught Art Appreciation at West GA Tech on Tuesday nights when she was diagnosed. Casey and I have history. I didn’t consider interviewing her, however, until I saw the Casey’s Cure float in the LaGrange Christmas Parade. From that point it was just a matter of reaching out and setting it up. In this interview Casey talks about the darkness of being diagnosed with the same disease that took her father, the hope of finding a cure and her love of her newfound home of LaGrange. I hope that you enjoy listening as much as we had doing the interview. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support [https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support]
