Brown on the Air: BARTERING!

UPDATE: Oh, hell, this was bound to happen eventually. Spring is NEXT week's topic. My books were cooked. This week the "Between You and Me" topic is "bartering." What are you willing to do or give to get something else? Does this economy have you thinking about bartering for goods and services?

For instance, I would happily give you an item of Dylan Days swag in exchange for a 500 word essay on bartering. More on this to come.

My weekly essay for KAXE's Saturday morning program "Between You and Me" is a rare triple threat. It began as a blog post, developed into a column that (coincidentally?) fit the topic for this weekly call-in and music program, for which I am a regular contributor. Nice, eh?

"Between You and Me" anchors the weekend of any cool resident of Northern Minnesota. The topic this week is "spring" and I write about how there is no spring around here, not really, but that there is a spring equinox. And somehow it's about mining, too. Because that's how I roll.

"Between You and Me" airs from 10 a.m. to noon on 91.7 FM KAXE and streaming online all over the world at www.kaxe.org. The show explores a topic by engaging in conversation with the varied voices of Northern Minnesota and its legions of expats all over the universe. Tune in!
