The Circling Podcast:
A Central Oregon focused podcast designed to redefine what it means to be a community. How to invest in each other and the place that we live. Let’s encourage each other in the basics, like kindness, respect, gratitude, patience. Let’s learn about individuals, local businesses, and nonprofits that invest in our community. Let’s remember how much we have in common and start respecting our differences. Let’s lead the next generation of Central Oregonians, young and old, by example. In the process, let's help shape the growth of our region, ensure opportunity for more and maintain what we all love about Central Oregon, The Beauty. The Adventure. The Way of Life.

On today’s special episode, My friend Erika Oreskovich will be introducing her new podcast exploring recreational activities that we enjoy in central Oregon in a new, fresh way. Erika will be focusing on more than just the activity. She’ll be discussing the history, culture, people and equipment that have helped shape these activities into their modern-day form.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Stillwater traditional paddle-boarding ( @still.water.paddling ). An emerging central Oregon Brand, Stillwater is committed to fostering the growth of inland traditional paddle-boarding while paying homage to the genesis and culture of this ocean-born lifestyle.
