If you take nothing else away from this episode of the Obcast with Canadian journalist Peggy Revell, I hope it's that it takes time and training to learn how to tell a story. A politics and writing enthusiast, Peggy writes for a local paper, telling the stories of real people in Medicine Hat, Alberta (yes, the town with the silliest name in the universe), concentrating on the education beat.  

In our conversation, she schools me on Canadian politics (they have them), smartly analyses the current state of journalism, and and reveals why George Takei thinks she's a special butterfly or something.
