Bend Magazine's The Circling Podcast with Adam Short
Taking a Seasonal Break and Announcing "Birth of the Brands"
Ever found yourself captivated by stories from places you've never been? That's the magic we've discovered with The Circling Podcast. What started as a celebration of Central Oregon's unique character has evolved into something that transcends geography – authentic stories that offer meaning and perspective to listeners everywhere.
As the natural rhythms of spring and summer unfold in our beautiful region, I've made the decision to temporarily pause production of new episodes. This wasn't easy, but it feels right for this season as I focus on growing StoryBooth, my audio storytelling business. Consider this less a goodbye and more an intermission in our ongoing conversation.
The exciting news? This fall, we're returning with something fresh and powerful. In collaboration with Oregon Media and Bend Magazine, we're launching "Birth of the Brands" – a new podcast series spotlighting local entrepreneurship and brand development. Our first season will feature eight remarkable companies from the 10th annual Bend Outdoor Works Startup Accelerator, diving deep into their founder journeys, challenges, and breakthroughs. Want to experience this entrepreneurial energy firsthand? Join us at the Bend Outdoor Works breakout pitch event on October 25th, where these innovative companies will compete for prizes and you can cast your vote for your favorite. Learn more at bendoutdoorworks.com and stay tuned for our return – it'll be worth the wait. Until then, get outside and remember: the health of our community depends on us all.

Hey everybody, this is Adam, host of Ben Magazine's the Circling Podcast, where we explore the stories and people that make up the soul of Central Oregon and make it such a special place to call home. When I started this podcast, I thought of my audience primarily as my fellow community members, since most of our guests and stories are rooted right here in Oregon. But what I've learned is this While the voices may be local, the insights, perspective and value found in each episode seem to resonate far beyond geographic boundaries, no matter where people live. These stories offer something meaningful others are carrying into their own communities. Stories offer something meaningful others are carrying into their own communities.
