Meagan Perry is the rabble podcast network executive producer. She got into the media game by broadcasting over her school intercom from a cubbyhole under the stairs at Bonnyville Centralized High. More glamourous digs followed: a decade in campus/community radio offices in Edmonton and Guelph. Meagan eventually headed for CBC Radio, where she split a six-year stint between As It Happens and Definitely Not The Opera. Nowadays, Meagan is a freelance writer, broadcaster, and communications shark living in the Yukon Territory. She continues to freelance for CBC radio and her writing has been featured in The New Zealand Herald, This Magazine, Herizons, Yukon News and National Post. You can find her on the web and on the air at rabble.ca/rpn as the senior producer of the rabble podcast network and the host of rabble radio. Meagan has served on the board of the Yukon Status of Women Council, and sometimes appears as a guest performer for the Riverdale Brownie Troupe in Whitehorse. They call her Music Owl.
