Appalachia Meets World Episode 85 - ”Livability” (and a New Year) in Appalachia with Amanda Ellis

Happy New Years Y'all!  What's in a list??  In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Amanda Ellis of Livability Media to discuss what makes a City the most "livable."  Hear how some Appalachian cities stack up in comparison to other cities throughout the country, and Neil and Will's opinion on the matter (hint - there's a little biased involved - and a lot of "magic in them mountains").  Take a listen as Amanda dives into what Livability Media does and how economic development and promotion is important for not only attraction but also retention of a cities own lifelong residents.  Also, Neil and Will discuss some of the top news items (a lot on the "pop" side - seemingly minus world affairs) over the past year, and how they may or may not matter to them both - and how Neil's "...money don't jiggle jiggle."  Don't forget all the #AppBiz(s) over the past year...and the current #AppBiz of the week: Livability.com!
