In the Echo Essentials Podcast clip above, BayToday reporter Stu Campaigne joins hosts Scott Clark and Dave Dale. The local media veterans take a deeper dive into recent BayToday investigative journalism pieces Campaigne wrote about a movie studio that failed within two years of its launch — laying off 44 employees in the process — and another about a property in Trout Creek that is home to a seniors' residence and is now up for sale for unpaid municipal taxes.
