New Happenings at the Collective

So, after much discussion and many meetings, we've decided to scale back our operation to one, half-hour episode per month. This will give us more time to spend on research, editing, and making solid episodes, as well as updating our website and our media skills. In addition, we've been talking about ways to get others into the mix and are happy to announce that we will begin having a monthly IV Collective - Newcomers Orientation starting in January!
