reader's digest

This time we’re repeating an episode from March 2021 which has us talking to Cathy Free, who’s been a journalist for 40-plus years for the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, Spokane Spokesman-Review, People magazine, Reader’s Digest and, currently, The Washington Post. While Mark and I worked in Utah newspapering for decades ourselves, we never crossed paths with Cathy, but we were familiar with her byline. So, it was interesting to meet her via Zoom and to hear about her unquestionably impressive career path. It was a fun and interesting conversation; we hope you think so, too. 

Join me on Episode 15 when I get to catch up with Martin Lee : Co-Founder & Director of Project CBD. I had the honor of working with Martin in 2017 and always enjoyed our conversations and captivated whenever I heard him speak. His team at Project CBD collaborated with Reader's Digest to write "The Essential Guide to CBD: Everything You Need to Know About What It Helps, Where to Buy, And How to Take It" available now!

Martin Lee is a wealth of knowledge and a master wordsmith in his books:
1985 – Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the Sixties Rebellion
1990 – Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media 
1997 – The Beast Reawakens: Fascism's Resurgence
2012 – Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana – Medical, Recreational, and Scientific

His journey led him to co-creating Project CBD in 2009 with fellow journalists who had been covering the medical marijuana story—the science, the movement and the industry. They felt that the reintroduction of CBD-rich cannabis into the grassroots supply merited special attention. The serendipitous reappearance of whole plant CBD in Northern California in 2009 has given doctors and patients a unique opportunity to evaluate the effects of cannabidiol. Project CBD updates doctors and patients on developments in cannabis science, therapeutics and political economy.

Lance Willard joins us for this episode of the podcast. 

Dr. Willard tells us about how he became the City Manager of Columbiana, Ohio. He also updates us on the recently enacted Community Reinvestment Area (CRA), which can assist residents and businesses in lowering their tax burden; the new DORA legislation, which provides new opportunities for entertainment in the city; and initiatives to promote the city through joint programs with Rural Community Action Program (RCAP).

Lance also tells us why Columbiana was recently named by Reader's Digest as "The Nicest Place in Ohio", which qualifies the City to compete for "Nicest Place in the Country."
