This collaboration is part of the Make It in Maryland initiative, which aims to provide manufacturers with access to resources, industry connections, and platforms to showcase their work.

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

The Make It in Maryland initiative focuses on increasing awareness of the manufacturing sector’s importance, fostering collaboration, and sharing the success stories of Maryland’s manufacturers. A central component of the program is the Manufacturing Tour Talks, where manufacturers can engage with peers, exchange best practices, and explore solutions to industry challenges. These events also provide an opportunity to visit local manufacturing facilities and gain insights directly from industry leaders.
In addition to networking opportunities, Make It in Maryland highlights the innovative work being done across the state through videos that showcase the stories behind Maryland’s manufacturing sector. The program also features the Make It in Maryland: Manufacturing Spotlight Podcast, which discusses industry trends, introduces new companies, and shares perspectives from key stakeholders in the field.
