The Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce joins Mike McKendree on Radio434's TheMIKEShow every Thursday around 8:45AM to talk about all the cool stuff we have going on, and we're often joined by Chamber members with cool things to share, too! Even better, members can join us on the from anywhere, as we record remotely with an application similar to Zoom.

These interviews are short and sweet, usually not lasting over 5-7 minutes, but they pack a punch. TheMIKEShow ranges from 10,000 to 30,000 monthly listeners, and from 30,000 to 45,000 monthly Facebook engagements. 

Chamber members are able to come on TheMIKEShow once per quarter. Sign up for your spot here!

The Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce hosts a podcast every Wednesday at 9AM at Watts Creative Studios (1000 Grove Street, Bedford, VA). We interview a different Chamber member every week to find out what they do and why they do it. With over 1,000 monthly listeners, our podcast is a great way to get the word out about your business or organization. 

While most of our external marketing and media opportunities are secured through trade partnerships, our weekly podcast is one of the very few benefits that we pay out of pocket for. We love being able to offer this benefit at no cost to our members, and sponsoring the podcast with an advertising package is a great way to help us ensure the longevity of Chamber Vibes.
