‘Producer Astara van der Jagt wielded her chalk deftly and wisely on Wednesday, Feb. 6, as she lined up that day’s edition of Midweek, and the outcome was yet another rich mix of stories running from City Hall budget fights through what powwows mean to their participants and on to…chocolate. Local chocolate. Lots of it. And ethical, too.’

The following audio stories were spliced from the original 85min-long on-air shows to only include those exclusively scripted, edited and produced by me.

The following titled ‘The Hummingbird Chocolate Factory’ was produced in collaboration with Patrick Peori.

Music Producers Astara van der Jagt and Dylan Parobec.
