This week on The Georgia Avenue Podcast, Vic, Trevor, and Jack sit down with Eli Witek, journalist and storyteller from The West Volusia Beacon. Eli brings their sharp perspective and love for words to the table, sharing what it means to cover local news, capture community stories, and keep a finger on the pulse of DeLand.

From newsroom hustle to the people behind the headlines, this conversation dives into how journalism shapes a town’s identity — and why local storytelling still matters. Eli opens up about their path into writing, their favorite stories from the field, and the balance between reporting facts and honoring community voices.

At its heart, this episode is about more than news — it’s about connection, creativity, and the way storytelling builds bridges.
