Villagers, have I got something for you! Spilling the VillageTea is thrilled to have Matthew Topic (President of the Downers Grove Public Library Board) tell us all about his new podcast “Disclosure”. Outside of his service to the community, Matt is a lawyer specializing in AI and FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and he has partnered with journalist Jason Leopold exploring the world of FOIA for all of us listeners. I know we are going to learn a LOT and am excited to hear the fascinating stories of what they have encountered through the years. Please be sure to listen to “Disclosure” on your podcast platform of choice!
