Dispatches

We're back from a brief hiatus and a couple of fortnights. In this episode, Gabe and Ken have dusted off their trowels and are in the field talking with our crews and students about the projects we're working on right now. And no, the update from the Chili's in the Calgary airport didn't make the hifi experience (I did give the Premier of NB an NB Arch Pod sticker) but for the first time ever, we're sounding like butter on these hot summer days with a studio intro/outro for our Season Finale of Season 3. Thanks listener--we'll be back with lots of fun in Season 4!
