Regionally Speaking: May 30, 2025

Today:  Lakeshore Public Media’s “Building Blocks” initiative is a multimedia project focused on early childhood development and supporting families in Northwest Indiana. This episode features Julie Wendorf from Crown Point Library, who discusses how libraries promote early literacy through play, storytelling, and access to books, highlighting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

We also continue our "Meet the Mayor" series with La Porte Mayor Tom Dermody, who shares his vision for the city, including infrastructure improvements and a significant One Billion Dollar Microsoft Data Hub investment, along with addressing the need for affordable housing.
All of that and more on this edition of Regionally Speaking after the news.

Dee Dotson is the host and producer of our radio show/podcast, Regionally Speaking. Dee is responsible for connecting with the northwest Indiana community to share their stories with the Lakeshore Public Media listening audience.
