Chattahoochee Hills's unique stories and hosts

Welcome to Chattahoochee Hills

Chattahoochee Hills isn’t your average Georgia suburb. Tucked just southwest of Atlanta, it’s a patchwork of green space and unique history, fiercely intentional about keeping its rural soul in a rapidly urbanizing region. And if you’d asked anyone a year ago, “How does a city like this tell its story?”—the answer probably would’ve included words like newsletters, maybe a website, some photos of parks and festivals, and a handful of social posts. Today, the answer is something different: podcasts, powered by AI.

Meet Chris

Meet Chris Montesinos, the city’s Economic Development Director. His mission isn’t just bringing jobs and growth; it’s about sharing the magic of Chattahoochee Hills with the world. For Chris, that meant finding new ways to reach people—residents, tourists, business owners, and anyone with a curiosity about what makes this city so special. Enter Jellypod.

Intro to Podcasting

Chris had no podcasting experience. Like a lot of city officials, his background was strategy, not audio production. But after a resident mentioned a local podcast, he started looking into what was possible. He tested out a few platforms, including one called NotebookLM, but quickly hit a wall. The options felt rigid, boxed in, with little control over the narration or the flow. He wanted something flexible, something that would let him shape the voice, pace, and feel of the content to match each story and audience.

That’s when he found Jellypod. The timing was almost serendipitous; the platform had just launched, and Chris was among its first users. What drew him in wasn’t just the AI—it was the control. He could upload research, craft a script, pick the perfect narration style, even tweak the pacing and pronunciation of tricky local names. For a city like Chattahoochee Hills, with deep Civil War roots, a quirky arts scene, and an ever-changing mix of people and ideas, that level of customization was key.

It didn’t take long for Chris to go from experimenting to producing. Within six weeks, he’d launched fourteen podcasts, each focused on a different slice of Chattahoochee Hills life. History, arts, local geography, recreation, even the city’s innovative zoning that keeps seventy percent of the land green and undeveloped. He brought in research from other AI tools, blended it with local knowledge, and used Jellypod to spin it all into engaging episodes. The best part? Production time plummeted—from a full day editing video and audio down to just forty minutes per episode. Suddenly, it was possible to create fresh, relevant content almost on demand.

But it wasn’t just about speed. Jellypod’s editing features made it possible to fine-tune every script, correct pronunciation, and add just the right amount of dramatic pause or emphasis. Chris could switch up voices to fit the topic—going more formal for arts and culture, a little country for history, whatever matched the mood. For the first time, a city had the power to match its message to its moment, every single time.

These podcasts weren’t just vanity projects, either. They landed right where they mattered most: the city’s own website, linked in monthly newsletters, and available to anyone curious about what’s happening around town. Staff and residents gave great feedback. Local partners started to see how audio storytelling could make city news more personal and engaging. And even those with no podcasting experience found themselves thinking, “Maybe I could do that too.”

Where to go from here?

Chris is quick to point out that the journey isn’t over. There are always more stories to tell and new features to try. He’s looking forward to deeper video integration and even richer ways to combine voice and visuals as Jellypod evolves. But the impact is already clear. What used to take days now takes minutes. What used to feel impossible for a small city is now routine.

Jellypod didn’t just give Chattahoochee Hills a new way to communicate. It unlocked a new level of creativity, letting a small team produce content with the polish and reach of a big media operation. The lesson is simple: if a city of 3,500 in rural Georgia can do this, anyone can.

Whether you’re a marketer, a city official, or just someone with a story to tell, Jellypod is the tool that can make it happen. AI is changing the game for storytellers everywhere, and this is only the beginning.
