Now unlocked and available for all, presenting episode 4 of the inaugural season of The Harbinger Society Presents! Independent, award-winning politics and culture magazine Briarpatch remains a cutting edge media outlet after nearly 50 years of publication. On this episode, host Andre Goulet (Tio'tia:ke/Montreal) welcomes three of the journalists who help make Briarpatch happen as current editor Saima Desai and lead on the new radical left Sask Dispatch project Sara Birell join the show from Regina (Treaty 4) and Nickita Longman, guest editor for the recent Landback issue, calls in from Winnipeg (Treaty 1).

Plus: legacy editor Valerie Zink describes the origins, early days and evolution of the magazine and comedian James Brown laments the end of the Atlantic Bubble from his family's shed in rural Prince Edward Island.
