Star City Stories
Star City Stories is a community-focused podcast from the City of Miamisburg Parks & Recreation Department that takes listeners behind the scenes of the parks, programs, people, and projects that shape life in Miamisburg.
Season 1 focuses on the development of the new community pool, offering transparent updates and in-depth conversations about the planning, design, construction, and operational decisions behind one of the City’s most significant recreation investments. Through candid discussions with staff and project partners, the podcast helps explain the “how” and “why” behind the work in a way that print and social media can’t.
Along the way, Star City Stories also highlights seasonal programs, community events, and the people who make Miamisburg’s parks and recreation system thrive. Whether you’re looking for project updates, insight into City operations, or a deeper understanding of how public spaces come together, this podcast is your inside look at Parks, People, and Places.
