2025: A Year in Podcasts
2025's economic development people, strategies, ideas, and insights
Table of Contents
2025 was a packed year on the Econ Dev Show Podcast: conversations with city builders, state leaders, site selectors, and innovators tackling everything from
workforce and infrastructure to placemaking, marketing, and investment
strategy.
The Econ Dev Show is made possible by Sitehunt.
Sitehunt (created the Econ Dev Show's host Dane Carlson) will not replace your relationships, manage your BR&E visits, or do your board politics. It will not invent workforce where none exists, and it will not make you sound smart after one login. Wit and wisdom are still on you.
But if you care about your buildings and sites, and getting the RFI out the door with confidence, Sitehunt may be the smartest small investment you make this year.
