With the start of the new year, Westchester County is expanding how residents access County news with the launch of This Week in Westchester: The Podcast, a new on-demand audio offering led by County Executive Ken Jenkins.
The podcast delivers a weekly, easy-to-consume audio version of the County Executive’s Monday briefing, bringing County news, policy updates and community highlights directly to residents. Episodes will stream weekly on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, making County information more accessible to busy residents who prefer to listen on the go.
The podcast is part of a broader evolution of the County Executive’s communications, now unified under This Week in Westchester, a multi-platform weekly news hub designed to expand reach, improve accessibility, and make County updates easier to share.

At the center of this initiative is This Week in Westchester: The Briefing, the County Executive’s live Monday update. The briefing now serves as the foundation for multiple formats, including the podcast, ensuring the same information is available across all platforms.
Jenkins said: “This new structure allows us to meet people where they are whether they want to watch or listen. It’s about transparency, accessibility and making sure residents and partners have clear, consistent information every week.”
Communications Director Catherine Cioffi said: “The way people consume news is constantly evolving, and our communications must evolve with it. Residents want timely information, meaningful engagement and content that is easy to access and share. This new approach is designed to meet those expectations and deliver County information in real time, across multiple platforms.”
