A Fort Worth native turned Waco resident is giving residents a new perspective of the city.

Garrett Simmons recently launched a new podcast called "The Wacoans".

Simmons said the podcast features local businesses, events, and the latest happenings residents of Waco are discussing.

"I just want to reach as many people as possible, and not just locals. I'd love to reach people outside of Waco so they know what to visit when they come to Waco," said Simmons.

He was inspired to create the podcast after a visit to the weekly Waco Downtown Farmer's Market.

The graphic designer moved to Waco in December 2016, and said he enjoys exploring and learning about the city.

"I don't know old Waco. I know new Waco. So everything is coming from a fresh set of eyes, and I'm experiencing everything for the first time," he said.

Waco residents Dave and Dorothy Hargrave said they like the idea of their city being featured in a podcast.

"The gem behind a podcast is that you can pretty much reach the whole world. It's an exciting place to live, and I think there's a lot to Waco that a lot of people don't know," said Dorothy Hargrave.

Each Friday morning a new episode of the podcast is released for anyone to download for free on iTunes or SoundCloud.

He said making each episode takes some work on his part like planning a topic, scheduling interviews, and editing the audio, but that it's all worth it.

Simmons said he hopes to continue producing content that generates interest to the city.

"I hope it brings a little bit more Spotlight to Waco, brings a little bit more comradery to Waco, and gets everybody a little bit more known. That's my ultimate goal. I want Waco to lift up Waco as much as possible, and I want to be apart of that," said Simmons.
