Johnson City Living

Johnson City Living is a local interview show built around civic curiosity. Its center of gravity is Johnson City, Tennessee, but its conversations naturally spread into Elizabethton, Bristol, ETSU, and the wider Tri-Cities. The format is simple. A local guest sits down, explains what they do, and answers what they love about the area. From there, the show follows the useful details. A conversation with Matthew Moore moves through Hellbender Outfitters, outdoor access, fly fishing, camping gear, ski and snowboard tune-ups, the Tweetsie Trail, and the possibility of stronger links to Appalachian Trail traffic. Another episode with Brian Duncan connects acupuncture, herbal medicine, pain, wellness, and mixed martial arts. The range is broad, but the scale stays personal. Every Season Interiors brings home staging and the small-town feel of Johnson City into view. Shelly Holacek explains professional color and style analysis after moving from Omaha. Danielle Smith discusses how Bristol Bloom Collective helps small local flower farms sell wholesale and makes locally grown flowers more accessible to florists. Shara Lange's ETSU episode highlights students making films, learning broadcast work, using field production equipment, and finding hands-on experience in radio, TV, and film. Jennifer Sweet's Jeremiah Cafe conversation leans into fresh food, house-made bread, pastries, salads, dressings, crab cakes, fish, and the work behind a community-minded restaurant. Andrew Julian's episode frames financial planning as customized preparation rather than reactive decision-making. The show's recurring appeal is not polish or provocation. It is access. Listeners hear how local businesses are run, where people came from, what they are building, and why Johnson City keeps attracting loyalty. The host's real-estate presence is part of the texture, so the show often feels useful for people thinking about living, investing, or putting down roots in the area. It is best for listeners who want a neighborly map of the city, one guest at a time.
