To ensure that I want to keep this blog active and that I’m not paying for the domain for no reason, I wanted to share with you an excerpt from the podcast that I’ve been running for over a year.
You can find it at newsfriends.net or iTunes or Google Play.
In about two or so weeks, I’ll be coming back to Langara for my second and (hopefully) final year in the school’s journalism program. In which, by design, I should be a budding journalism with the integrity of an ox and the work ethic of an… ox?
It’s funny to say that I’ll be coming back, because in truth I’ve never really left the building. As most of my other classmates have been pursuing a summer of work/leisure, I’ve been biding my time.

My biggest regret is that I wish it happened years ago with things and people that mattered (that still very much matter) But it’s all life lessons isn’t it? Never give up and all that Jazz.
Have ya’ll been listening to the podcast? watching the videos? have you subscribed to these things? Probably should. just saying.
I wanted to just make a post that let’s me reflect on things, but I’ll have a proper update again. Something metrics wise that I’ve been finding interesting.
Keep yourself posted,
NewsFriends out.
