(Liner Notes)
Hello and welcome back to “Join the Conversation”
I’m George Christopher Thomas, your radio talk show host and podcaster, and we are broadcasting and coming at you from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in College, Alaska.
So now I invite you to sit back and enjoy this next interview with Alaska State Representative Sara Hannan. Her district is there in Juneau, so she has the shortest commute of any of the 40 legislators in the lower house. And we chat about redistricting, halibut fishing, and work commutes among other things.
What is the show “Join the Conversation” you ask?
Well…
In this era of fake news and neo-yellow journalism, this podcast focuses on using academic insight and peer-reviewed understandings to get the real story out there. By basing the conservation in a college atmosphere, the focus is a combination of learning and accuracy that lays down the foundation for comprehending complex issues and concepts.
Our host (which is me) invites you to "Join the Conversation" by listening as we bring in a cadre of guests from all over America and the world. This idea of peer reviewed academia meeting media in real time is the newest concept in journalism, so on with the show.
On our second show, this is Alaska State Representative Sara Hannan, a UAF graduate in education studies and fellow Nanook. This interview is about 43 minutes.

You have been listening to “Join the Conversation” our podcast and radio show out of Fairbanks, Alaska. I am your host, George Christopher Thomas, and I thank you for tuning in. I hope you will join the conversation next week, as we travel to New Orleans, Louisiana to talk with attorney Mark Billingsley about innovation, commercialization, entrepreneurship, Oregon and why Alaska does not have a law school. Until then, keep being rad, and tell your friends, family, and neighbors about this show.
