Local Community Builder Reaches Milestone Podcast About Community Members; Records 100th Episode

Local community builder Ken John Jones and his podcast ‘Jonesy’s Corner Podcast’ focusing on Peterborough and the Kawarthas community members has reached its 100th milestone podcast with Pete Dalliday.

Jones recorded his 100th episode at the PTBOCanada studio with Dalliday as they reflected on highlights of his podcast. Jones had guests such as musician Irish Millie, MP Michelle Ferrari, The Wolf’s Brian Ellis and more.

Jones began his podcast in the spring of last year as a way to highlight Peterborough’s prominent community members during hard times.

“During the pandemic, this was an opportunity to bring the community together as one to bring and show positivity during the rough times,” he explained.

He said Dalliday’s HometownPTBO segments with PTBOCanada was an inspiration for behind his podcast. Jones wants to set an example for those wishing to have their own podcast and encourages those to chair their dreams.

“Don’t give up on your dreams keep reaching for the stars,” explained Jones. “Dreams can come true.”

Jones had helped build his community builder status by helping local non-profit organizations such as Alternatives Community Program Services Peterborough, Cuddles for Cancer and Kawartha Food Share through promotional or fundraising efforts.

“The rewarding part is that the podcast give people an opportunity to share their story, share their experiences in all kinds of employment fields and to raise awareness for charity events, non-profit organizations and community builders,” explained Jones. “100 is an milestone and it wouldn’t be possible without the community support and my family.”
