Our next guest has been a newspaper reporter, editor, and columnist in Montana since 1980. In 2011 he published "The Big Sky by and by" which is a collection of his journalism over the years plus several essays and one short story. Recently he announced that effective July 1st 2018 his independent news site Last Best News would be suspending operations. This week we welcome Ed Kemmick to the podcast. We talk about his years covering the city council, the future of print newspapers, and beer allergies. Oh and please enjoy the sound of a American Robin serenading you during the podcast.
