Stories & Conversations
A maiden voyage
Northern Civil Defense Network and Democracy Defenders
are introducing a new podcast.
Their goals are to reach a wider audience of like-minded people in Northern Minnesota, to offer another way for people to be informed about news that matters, and to serve sight-impaired people and non-readers who prefer audio communications to those that are visual. It is becoming clearer every day that mass media doesn't cut it anymore; many media outlets have been taken over by Big Brother and corporate interests. Many small town and local newspapers have gone out of business, as well.
They aim to present their take on what's happening in our country as well as to offer new ways forward through action and thoughtful insights by people who live, work, and recreate in our Great North Woods.
Because they are a grassroots and amatuer endeavour, they will begin with a lot of experimentation which includes interviews with community members and local newsmakers alike, story telling, events calendars for folks who are looking for ways to be in community and to make some noise, deep dives into topics that affect Northlanders, and things they haven't thought of yet.
And, that's where you come in! You will have an opportunity to suggest topics and people you'd like to hear from.
They will need your feedback to make each show better than the last one;
they welcome your constructive comments, ideas, and questions.
Check out their first episode!
