Work began in mid-August for the KITA! podcast team to lay the groundwork, look for contributors and plan each episode. Now in its fourth episode, the bi-weekly arts-anthology podcast, which went live in October and is available across various digital platforms, features works of homegrown writers, poets, musicians, and other storytellers.
