**Producer's note.  As listeners know, this summer Red Media was proud to organize a book tour celebrating the publication of John Redhouse's book, Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, and Contested Territories in the Four Corners: The Turbulent 1970s. As part of the tour, TRN comrades recorded a bonus episode for patrons to reflect on the tour and what they learned from John in person. Unfortunately, in the tumult of the summer, I completely forgot to work on the episode! My apologies to you all and the TRN comrades who recorded it. I decided to unlock the episode and put it on the free feed. I hope you enjoy it; it's a fantastic conversation.** TRN Comrades got together shortly after the end of the John Redhouse book tour to discuss their experiences. Don't forget to check out the earlier episodes documenting various events of the tour and also get the book from Common Notions!
