CT Perks and Recreation™ is the official companion podcast for the state rewards program. This monthly, story-driven podcast about discovering how much there is to do, taste, and explore in Connecticut, told from the perspective of a road trip with an enthusiastic friend who has strong opinions about snacks and side quests.
Each episode follows a theme that shows you places where can earn double points through the rewards program by posting positively on social media, whether its farms, trails, bookstores, theaters, museums, campuses, and delightful local restaurants. Along the way, your podcast host Amanda Elgie talks with the makers and creators who give these places their personality, giving listeners both the story and the roadmap of how to experience it themselves.
The show is a monthly invitation to fall in love with Connecticut, whether through cozy destinations full of local pride or our mid-sized cities full of adventure and magic. Regardless, this is your chance to listen, learn, and earn points, all just a short drive away.
