HCN readers are missing out if they have not yet seen editorial intern Brian Oaster’s delightful video summaries of new articles each Friday (“Halito from High Country News”). But “summary” is a poor descriptor because what Oaster is really crafting are invitations that engage though clarity, wonder and wit. The Oct. 1 episode was a particularly shining example, and several articles have moved to the top of my reading queue as a result. I look forward to hearing more of Brian’s voice and what they have to tell us.
