RelaySARelaySA S3 Ep2 Angie ClarkeAngie Clarke (@angclarke ) is the best. I was thrilled with Jen Browne passed the relay over to Angie and I couldn't wait for our interview. We found a fe minutes at CACUSS and we snuck away to a hotel bar for this conversation. (You can hear our drinks being dropped off at our table.)

RelaySARelaySA S3 Ep1- Dr Tricia SeifertIn our first episode of season 3- I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Tricia Seifert. (@TriciaSeifert) We found some time between sessions at the CACUSS conference in Ottawa and snuck into the banquet hall for our interview. I apologize for the ambient top 40 music and sounds of staff setting up in the background. Any chance to speak with Tricia is truly a gift- its no wonder that Tim Fricker nominated her. Our conversation was wonderful and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

RelaySARelaySA S2 Ep6- Erin BiddlecombeWay back in the very first episode of RelaySA, the baton was passed along to Erin Biddlecombe and even though it took us a while to finally schedule our interview- it was well worth it the wait. If you can forgive our poor internet connection and the occasional interrupting phone ringing- than you will love Erin's passion for her work and her brilliant take on Student Affairs in Canada.

RelaySARelaySA S2 Ep5- Amy Gaukel and Mark SolomonWhat first started out as a twitter joke quickly became a really great interview with the amazing Amy Gaukel and Mark Solomon. RelaySA's first 'couple interview' was jam packed and we didn't even get to the part about what its like being a couple in this cozy field of ours. We kept mentioning a possible sequel, so hopefully in the future we may be able to get together again for another conversation.

RelaySARelaySA S2 Ep4- Tim FrickerIn September 2016, a friend and colleague tweeted at me suggesting I interview Tim Fricker for the podcast. A twitter chat emerged about how often the college perspective is missing in our #SACdn conversations and so I was very excited to sit down with Tim for the start of a new relay.
