January 15th, 2026 Season premiere. Episode 24. And we’re not easing into it.
The River Valley Podcast returns with a packed double-header edition of Talk of the Town with Bonnie. Bonnie first sits down with Jillian Bell of the Lumsden Community Band, talking music, community, and the role the band continues to play in local culture.
Then Bonnie welcomes Kaige Bender, local musician, songwriter, and singer, who debuts his very first single on the episode.
We also open the files once again with Did You Know, and bring you another Past, Present, and Proud segment, this time recognizing the women of our past who were rarely documented or recorded, despite being major contributors to the growth and strength of our community.
Local voices. Local music. Local history. Episode 24 sets the tone for the season.
Show your support by sharing our link with your family, friends, and everyone you know. Local stories only survive if people pass them along. Help us keep them alive.
