THIS WEEK:
Brent, Ted, and Anna are joined by Ben Speggen from the Erie Reader (Dill had to take the week off due to a dental emergency)
Ben joins us to talk on a myriad of subjects, after quietly waiting for ages for an invite from the crew!
Ben is the vice-president of the Jefferson Education Society – he discusses what JES does.
Ben talks about where he’s from, where he grew up, and how he got to Erie, and how he came to be the editor of the Erie Reader, then how that led him to the JES.
The Ember+Forge Beer Segment!
The gang sampled Brewerie’s Peach Street Wheat – listen in to found out how this 4.5% traditional wheat lager fared under the scrutiny of the Idiots! Be sure to catch this segment LIVE every Wednesday on Facebook!
AFTER THE BREAK:
Ben talks about working with James and Deb Fallows and the Our Towns Civic Foundation, and what that led to for him personally, and how he helped tell the story of Erie with them.
How did the initial contact with the Fallows move Ben and Erie into the forefront of national talk about re-emerging cities? How did the initial depictions of Erie in the media following the 2016 elections color the narrative about our city?
