Great interview with former DIFW Commissioner Chandler Woodcock

Scott Milewski of Augusta has started a great website with podcasts of interviews with Mainers throughout the state. Scott spent several hours at my house for one of his first podcasts. It was really more of a conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I really like Scott’s focus on family stories, as he dives into each person’s life story. For example, his latest podcast is with Senator Susan Collins, but it’s not about politics. It’s a fascinating look at Susan’s life and family, and her experiences growing up in Aroostook County.

One of his recent podcasts is with former DIFW Commissioner Chandler Woodcock. They do talk about Chan’s experiences at DIFW, but a lot of the conversation ranges from his childhood to his many grandchildren. The interview reminded me of why I have always liked and admired Chan.

I hope you will check out Scott’s podcasts, and enjoy them as much as I do. You can access them at www.interviewswithme.com.
