DECATUR, Ala. ( WHNT ) — Podcasts have grown exponentially in popularity over the last ten years. So, it's no surprise local organizations are using them to expand their reach. The Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association, which is based in Decatur, wanted to extend its reach to a new audience. So, in late 2021, it launched the 'Unexpected Adventures in North Alabama' podcast. Melea Hames, the Social Media Manager for the tourist association, is the host. She said becoming the host of a podcast was an unexpected adventure of its own.
