St. Johns County has launched a new lineup of official podcasts and radio programs designed to inform, engage and connect the public with local government, expanding access to timely information through on-demand audio, video and live broadcasts. The podcasts and programs are available on the SJC Podcasts web page at sjcfl.us/sjc-podcasts.
The initiative includes three shows and is part of a broader communications strategy to increase transparency, build community trust and encourage public participation. Each show is produced in a different format and style to deliver county information in various ways.
“County Conversations” offers in-depth discussions with county leaders, staff and community partners, providing insight into major initiatives, services and issues impacting residents.
The show is available as an audio podcast on all major streaming platforms, and as a video on the official St. Johns County YouTube channel (youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5zhQ5eQOtuBFmrfJncRDP_H72JWVQLfk).
The program is hosted and produced in partnership with WFCF 88.5 Flagler College Radio, airing on the station at 5:30 p.m. Fridays and 6:30 p.m. Sundays, expanding its reach to traditional broadcast audiences.
Episodes 1 through 4 with Public Works Director Greg Caldwell are available now.
“Behind the SJCenes” is a partnership with WSOS 103.9 St. Augustine Radio, which airs live on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 8:30 a.m. The show recaps the previous day’s Board of County Commissioners meeting and features a guest interview on timely community issues and topics. Behind the SJCenes is available as an audio podcast on all major streaming platforms and on the official St. Johns County YouTube channel.

“The expanded lineup supports the county’s commitment to its Strategic Plan, which identifies community trust as a core priority,” said Matt Denny, digital media manager. “The plan emphasizes proactive communication, transparency and increased opportunities for civic engagement. By making information more accessible and available across multiple platforms, the county aims to meet residents where they are, enhancing public awareness of county projects, services and long-term planning efforts.”
