On this week’s episode, Aaron Hedge and Pascal spoke with two Gonzaga students – Sandra Rivera and Abby Zappone – about journalism in Spokane and the collaboration, research, and work that goes into it.

Sandra and Abby are part of the six-person staff that created *Spoke*, a magazine that showcases Spokane’s journalistic world through essays from the student perspective. 

Sandra is the Art Director and Abby is the Photo and Research Editor.

*Spoke* isn’t available online yet, but be sure to keep an eye out for when it is!
