Vibes Drop In
"Drop In" is where the Santa Cruz Vibes team slows it down and leans into real conversation. Around here, we believe stories have the power to connect us — to each other, to our community, and to the place we call home. This isn’t about quick soundbites or surface-level chatter. It’s about intimate, thoughtful exchanges that dive into what matters: creativity, culture, resilience, and the people shaping life on the coast.
True to the Vibes ethos, we’re creating space that blends storytelling with community impact. Just like in our magazine, on SCVM TV, and across our platforms, 20% of what we do is always dedicated to uplifting local nonprofits and causes. On this podcast, that spirit carries through. You’ll hear voices that inspire, challenge, and remind us why Santa Cruz is more than just a backdrop — it’s a living, breathing community worth celebrating and investing in.
"Drop In" is your invitation to join us in the lineup of conversation — honest, local, and grounded in the belief that when we share our stories, we build something bigger together.
