At Our Community News (OCN), we are thrilled to introduce new ways to help you connect better with our vibrant Tri-Lakes community.

Interactive website features

Our website lets you post questions and comments on articles, columns, and podcasts. Share your thoughts. Join the conversation.

Enjoy two audio options for news articles: quick AI-generated highlights (1-2 minutes) or full verbatim readings with highlighted paragraphs you can skip to instantly. Explore now at www.ocn.me!

The two monthly audio podcasts we announced last month now offer video versions with large animated subtitles readable on cell phones. One presents highlights from all of the major news articles and the other reads the complete articles. While you can listen to or watch our podcasts on YouTube (www.youtube.com/@OurCommunityNews), Apple Podcasts (www.tinyurl.com/OCNonApple), or Spotify (www.tinyurl.com/OCNonSpotify), we think you will have the best experience listening or watching on our website at www.ocn.me/podcast.htm where the length of each segment is displayed and you can easily skip to the segments that are of the greatest interest to you.

Prefer RSS feeds? Subscribe at our website to separate feeds for OCN articles, OCN podcasts, and OCN comments. The RSS feed links are at the bottom of every web page.
