If you take nothing else away from this episode of the Obcast with Canadian journalist Peggy Revell, let it be that it takes time and training to learn how to tell a story. A politics and writing enthusiast, Peggy writes for a local paper, telling the stories of real people in Medicine Hat, Alberta (yes, the town with the silliest name in the universe), concentrating on the education beat. ​ In our conversation, she schools me on Canadian politics (they have them), smartly analyses the current state of journalism, and and reveals why George Takei thinks she's a special butterfly or something.
