Live MC: Mercer County’s Tourism Podcast

We're beyond excited to introduce Live MC, the official tourism podcast from Visit MerCo, your guide for experiencing Mercer County.

What is Live MC?


Live MC brings the stories of Mercer County to life through immersive, local-told narratives. Whether uncovering a historic trail, showcasing seasonal festivals, or highlighting tucked-away gems, each episode invites you deeper into our communities, history, and traditions.
Our very first episode, “The Lake of Matherville”, is now live. This episode captures the beauty, local traditions, and spirit of one of MerCo’s places to be. The perfect place for both longtime locals and newcomers seeking a meaningful connection to the region.

Why Listen?

  • Immerse yourself in audio storytelling that feels like a local’s personal tour.

  • Perfect for walks, drives, or cozy listening sessions at home.

  • Grow your curiosity, connect more deeply, and likely spot a few things you didn’t know about your own backyard.
