Joe Drake is a current college student who grew up in Waupaca, Wisconsin for almost all of his life. Joe has always found himself wanted to give back to the community that has given him so much. Joe is a graduate of Waupaca High School, an Eagle Scout, and has held many charity events all before turning 21. Since Joe is in college he wanted to start PodPaca to help his community in a new way no matter where he was. Using his knowledge of media he decided to start PodPaca with the goal of helping the local area feel more connected and to help small towns like Waupaca have more of a voice in the current media landscape. "Many podcasts I have never found to be relatable to me and my community. With PodPaca maybe we can not only be more relatable to the people in small towns like Waupaca, but also to others in small towns in Wisconsin and across the country." -Joe Drake
