HARRISBURG, April 20, 2011 – State Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Delaware/Montgomery) today announced the second episode of the podcast series, “Your Pennsylvania”, has been posted to www.senatorleach.com and iTunes. The series, which premiered last month, highlights the important work and interesting stories of workers around the state.
This episode examines Pennsylvania’s attempts to investigate “White Nose Syndrome,” a disease that has caused the deaths of more than a million bats nationwide. Zachary Hoover, "Your Pennsylvania” host and Sen. Leach’s Chief of Staff, speaks to Dan Brauning, Chief of the Wildlife Diversity Program of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, to learn about how the Game Commission is fighting back against this threat to our wildlife.
“We launched this podcast series to give Pennsylvanians a better idea about the people working for them in the public sector so that they can become more informed and to offer more transparency in government,” Leach said. “It’s an added bonus that the people we’ve come across lead very interesting lives and have compelling stories to share.”
Hoover calls the podcast “an ongoing conversation with the people who work to make Pennsylvania a great place to call home.”
Throughout its run, the series will feature important and unique players in state government with new episodes added regularly. Leach urged Pennsylvanians to listen to the podcast and invited them to nominate guests to feature in future installments. To offer feedback, listeners can call (610) 768-4200 or email yourpa@pasenate.com.
