For those of you who love binging podcasts like I do, may I suggest this one? It tells some pretty amazing stories of human survival.

Ever wondered what you would do if you found yourself lost in the wild? In the desert, the jungle or the mountains… Would you make the right choices to stay alive?

After a hiatus due to far too much volunteering on my plate, I'd love your feedback on what you'd like to hear from and/or about for Season 3!

I want to hear from you!!! Coastal Currents with Aaron Reid has been on a bit of a hiatus due to Aaron's volunteer hours over the past year. What topics and/or guests would you like to hear about and/or from for Season 3? What have you liked/disliked about previous seasons and episodes? What suggest...

Came across this offering in my FB feed today and what value for your money!

Definitely worth the share. Professional development can be very costly and this offering looks to be a big bang for your buck.

Season 2: Municipal Election Series was a huge and time consuming project for me.

I am proud of what I was able to accomplish in a very short period of time and with contracting covid mid-way, to boot. It’s been weeks and I’m still fighting my way back but I’m sure I’ll get there eventually.

Thank you to the candidates who joined me for interviews, who rolled with the punches when I moved the interviews outside to my deck, my patio and my neighbour’s patio, for their good natured responses when my ducks cut them off, planes flew overhead and my equipment malfunctioned (thought I’d messed up but it turns out I had a faulty memory card).

Looking forward to working on season 3 - but it won’t be 19 episodes at once!

Is there someone you’d like me to interview? Interested in being a guest? Want to offer a little financial support or advertise on my website or an upcoming episode? PM me or email me at [email protected].

Until next time, this is Aaron Reid.
