At the start of 2021, Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria premiered its first original podcast, Hancock Conversations, which airs on the first and third Tuesday of each month. The next episode is set to be released on Tuesday, Feb. 2, and will be available through multiple platforms (Hancock’s website, Spotify, and Apple Podcast apps).
Hosted by Hancock President and Superintendent Kevin G. Walthers, the podcast is described as “a casual conversation with people who are changing the odds for students and their local community,” according to the college. Guests of the program include current and former students, staff, faculty, administrators, local community members, and others.
“This podcast celebrates the stories of the very inspiring people who have helped make Hancock the unique and vibrant hub for learning that it is today,” Walthers said in a press release. “They come from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, but they all share a passion for making their community a better place. It’s been a privilege to speak with them, and I’m happy that we can share their stories through this podcast.”
