012 – Apa…whatever
Originally, we were supposed to talk to Ben Wickstrum, the legendary country singer, but when he cancelled we got the next best thing: Ben Wickström! Ben has been involved in numerous capacities on campus, including the sitting as both Director of Student Living and Chief Elections Commissioner for the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) Board of Directors, Mouseland Press, and both the University Board of Regents and Senate. Ben, just send anyone who is trying to hire you to this site because we’ve basically posted your CV here.
Recently he wrote an article for the Uniter about the UWSA and the implications of student apathy. We talked to him about that article for this episode.

Check out the latest goings on at the University of Manitoba Students’ Union, courtesty of The Manitoban. There are definitely some interesting changes that will impact the way that people interact with the Board of Directors.
011 – For Every Action…
Well, we’ve had a bit of a lag recently due to various essays, exams and practicum adventures, but we are back with another episode of student politic goodness.
In this episode we talk to Max Silverman, the Vice-President External Affairs for the Students’ Society of McGill University about such things as the recent student strikes in Quebec, as well as the recent decision of the Canadian Federation of Students to axe their membership in the organization.
We were also lucky enough to have a guest host in Devin’s absense. Former University of Winnipeg Students’ Association President Kate Sjoberg joined us and talked about her time at the University as President.
