2022 GALVESTON UNSCRIPTED
YEAR IN REVIEW
THE 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW
2022 was a massive year for Galveston Unscripted. You do not want to miss the final blowout episode of the year!
Listen in to the 2022 Year in review episode below or on any podcast platform! With over 15 hours of historical content, I sat down with some of Galveston's most knowledgeable individuals to cover topics related to Galveston's bold history.
In April 2022, We built an audio tour and an outdoor classroom for the Galveston’s Own Farmers Markets market mile.
In June, I sat down with the National Trust for Historic Preservation vice president, Mr. Brent Leggs.
In August, We had the Galveston Unscripted anniversary celebration with over a hundred people in attendance. Seeing the digital content I've been providing translated into the physical world blew me away.
In September, Galveston Unscripted partnered with VisitGalveston and provides historical content for their podcast feed and website.
In October, Galveston Uscripted was selected for the Sally B. Wallace Historic Preservation Award by the Galveston Historical Foundation.
2022 Was Galveston Unscripted's first full calendar year of existence, and boy, did we learn a lot. Scheduling social media and audio equipment, Partnerships, and easy audio tour access plaques. All these things have helped improve the reach and quality of the Galveston Unscripted podcast and audio tour, but I know we have a long way to go. Being recognized by my voice around Galveston has been a pleasant addition to my daily life!
None of this is possible without you, the listener. Thank you so much for your support!
I look forward to 2023 and developing Galveston Unscripted to bring you historical content for years to come!
