WESTPORT — A new podcast highlighting local issues, with questions directed to First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker, has been launched by the Y’s Men of Westport and Weston. 

The first “Westport … What’s Happening” podcast features Tooker discussing traffic problems in town, which she described as the main issue she heard from voters while campaigning for the town’s top job last year.

Earlier this year, in response, the first selectwoman organized a series of forums focusing on traffic concerns in each Representative Town Meeting district.

New podcasts on other local topics are planned on a semi-weekly basis, according to Dick Kalt, the Y’s Men director of communications. 

The podcasts, roughly five minutes in length, aim to be “non-political,” Kalt said in a publicity release. In each interview, Tooker will “answer questions and provide information on projects, problems and activities affecting all Westporters,” he said.
