This is our first attempt at a podcast style show. We wanted to create a podcast as some topics require more than just a quick blurb in a newsletter or more discussion then we have time for in a union meeting. This format allows us time to adequately explain an issue or topic, while giving our members the convenience of listening whenever they have the time.
