How to Watch Our Hometown
Our Hometown is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.
And the whole point of public access is it's a TV channel for the public, for the community, by the community.
We're all about transparency for the town.
We want to have our constituents and the community feel comfortable with the decisions that the people that are in charge are making.
And we here at PBTV are trying to facilitate that more and get the word out there to the public as much as we can.
No one wants to sit through a 2 to 3 hour long board meeting and watch it on replay.
So we try to highlight the big talking points, the big confrontations.
So allow people the information that if they want to go back and get more detail, they can, but they have the gist of what's going on.
So we treat it very much like a newscast.
A recorded, not live, takes too many takes.
But it was the brainchild of my assistant, Jonathon Picard.
I feel that we have such a great connection.
We've never really had any sort of issues.
We've been able to bounce ideas off each other and treat it like a true partnership here for the station, for the better.
So having him finish out his degree, and me staying on board as a consultant to help him continue to transition, I think is only going to help the town and help the community more than hamper in a transitional period.
So I moved out here 2016 with my my family.
It's just where we wanted to live, back in New Hampshire, we had been in Massachusetts for a few years, and when I was 16, in my sophomore year of high school, we visited the studio here.
At the time, I did not know we had a television studio here.
And, that was really a big surprise for me.
We came in, we checked it out, and as we were leaving, I stopped and I talked to the manager.
I was like, do you accept internships?
And they were like, yeah, but when you're 18, you can come back.
So as soon as I turned 18, I came back and they brought me on.
And I've just been here ever since.
I started it when Dan came on, and he was like, we need new ideas for shows.
And I think I spent about a day or so thinking about new shows, and this was the first one that came to my mind.
So shows called "This Week in Plymouth".
It's a weekly news recaps sort of thing.
We cover stuff that's happened in town meetings, stuff in general that's happened around the town.
We usually cover the high school sports a little bit at college sports, and I kind of build it from the ground up.
I kind of I came up with the, the show format on my own.
I came up with the script format, what we would be covering.
People really enjoy watching the show because it's a great way just to kind of follow what's happening here in town.
The big thing about Plymouth, it's just community.
I feel like everybody knows everybody.
I spent a lot of time in Plymouth between campus and just working here, and I've gotten to know a lot of the people here, and they all care for each other, and they all care for the town, too, like people show up to town meetings and stuff and they give their input.
It's just a feeling of community.
