Hi. My name is Michael Bell, and this is the Dispatch, a podcast made by friends and volunteers of Briarpatch Magazine. Check out briarpatchmagazine.com and help fight the global war on error.
Ok, so if you’re listening and still subscribed to this podcast, thank-you, you must be a faithful, reliable friend. Unlike us. Here at The Dispatch, we show-up late, when we show-up at all. We’re like a sincere friend who desperately needs a day-planner. And today is no exception.
This podcast is 47 days late. Last month, September 10th, Briarpatch Magazine celebrated 35 years of existence. Friends of Briarpatch gathered at the Cathedral Community Association. There was cake and conversation in the form of a panel discussion.
So today, we bring you two speakers. The first voice you’ll hear is that of Trish Elliott. She is an instructor at the School of Journalism at the University of Regina who specializes in community and alternative media. Later in the podcast, you’ll here the voice of Adriane Paavo a labour activist and former editor of Briarpatch Magazine. Enjoy.
