This series was produced for Sonoma County public-access cable television under direction of the Sonoma County Public Information Office (now known as the Office of County Administrator).Most programs feature interviews with one or more local government officials, staff members of local civic or social organizations, or other key individuals in Sonoma County life. Interviews typically include discussions the mission and scope of the agency represented by the interviewee(s), as well as their own roles. Most programs produced in the studio, but some programs were produced on locations such as local restaurants or the Sonoma County Fairgrounds; these often include short segments on the venue and associated individuals. All interviews conducted by the host, R. F. "Rich" McGlinchy.
