Brewocracy Now / John Mauro
When Port Townsend CIty Manager John Mauro started his role here in 2019 he felt that getting out in public and meeting with the community informally was an important part of the job, So he pledged to schedule meetings at local coffee shops to engage in a discussion about all things Port Townsend. Then Covid happened and coffee shops were off limits. So he took to the airwaves on KPTZ. So each Thursday at 12:30pm, KPTZ DJ Taylor Clark and his esteemed co-host John Mauro get together to continue this discussion. We have guests and we welcome questions via [email protected]. Join us and learn more about this great city we live in. John is also going to coffee shops again too, listen in and we will tell you when. If you miss the show live, it is available on the KPTZ podcast pages an hour or two after the live show.
