Friends, the May episode of Over the Loud Speaker is here. It also happens to be the season finale, which means I'll be taking a little break over the summer (if Collin allows it). That also means you won't be getting your monthly fix of Hayward news in audiovisual format, at least until summer ends. But fear not, friend, the news won't stop (at least that's what Collin says).
This episode not only covers the Hayward Headlines, but also features a robust discussion of the reversal of the ACUs or accessory commercial units, the upcoming election and all its frustrations, and a really informative interview on Hayward's military equipment use policy with John Lindsay-Poland of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). After you listen to the episode, you can learn all about the work John and AFSC are doing by visiting this link. While listening to this month's episode, you may notice that the audio quality of my mic is a bit poor. I think the issue was that I didn't use the actual microphone, but the computer microphone to record my audio. Ahh, the exciting world of self-produced podcasts! We are working to make each episode better, I promise!!
Finally, if you really miss OTLS over the summer, you can always go back and watch some of the episodes you've missed. For example, did you listen to the stimulating interview I had with Professor Antonio on Urban Agriculture? You have all summer to catch up on all the Hayward news– so don't miss me too much!
