Public Intellectual

Melissa Wah, a Jill of all trades at 21inc, is making her first guest appearance on the Spin Reduxit podcast, Friday afternoon in Saint John.

As CBC reporter and podcast host Jacques Poitras writes on their blog, announcing the occasion,

Spin Reduxit loyalists in the Saint John area are invited to our very first, and altogether experimental, "live" podcast, which we will record this Fri., Aug. 13, at the City Market.

Daniel McHardie and I will be at the Java Moose Coffee location at the market from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to record an extended Spin Reduxit podcast. We're inviting three engaged, civic-minded New Brunswickers to join us for our discussion: urban activist Kurt Peacock, lawyer and former Saint John Board of Trade chair Nathalie Godbout, and Melissa Wah, a recent St. Thomas University grad who's working for 21inc, the youth leadership program.

Be sure to download the podcast next week.
