The Rural Voice series, hosted by Minnesota Public Radio’s Kerri Miller, captures imaginative and illuminating town hall conversations about the rewards and challenges of making a home in rural America.
The town hall meetings are lively, engaging and enlightening as the host nudges rural Minnesotans to open up on important issues including entrepreneurship, housing, workforce development, and healthcare.
In this episode of The Rural Business Show, two key creators of the Rural Voice, Former U.S. Congressman and Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation President and CEO Tim Penny and McFarland Communications Founder & CEO Teresa McFarland, discuss the series and what this effort is teaching them about the challenges and opportunities rural economies face.
