You are listening to a Clarksville magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarkford citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

pockets full of stones, which was all the way back in July 2013, so if you like what what you hear I invite you to go back and listen to those
