CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Echoes of Us on 22News Plus is wrapping up its second season, with the finale set to air next week.
‘Sounds of Springfield’ debuts at Tower Square Park
In the Season 2 finale, 22News reporters and podcast hosts Areta Odiah and Sara Bien-Aime welcome DJ Boogy, the local DJ known for keeping dance floors packed across western Massachusetts. He’ll share his story and the passion for music that keeps the crowd moving.
While the podcast is taking a break, Odiah and Bien-Aime aren’t going anywhere. The pair will continue reporting on air as they prepare for Season 3, which is expected to begin filming in September.
As they look ahead to the new season, the hosts are inviting community members to submit guest recommendations through an online Google Form. Since its debut, Echoes of Us has highlighted a wide range of voices from across the region, sharing inspiring stories, unique perspectives, and local talent.
While the team looks forward to reviewing every submission, a guest recommendation does not guarantee a spot on the show. The hosts are grateful for the community’s support and excited to continue sharing stories that reflect the people and experiences that make western Massachusetts unique.
Echoes of Us airs at the following times each week:
