This week, Mountain Gazette editor Mike Rogge sat down with BLISTER’s Jonathan Ellsworth for a wide-ranging conversation that feels especially timely.
The two dive into the current state of free speech, the nuance of understanding differing beliefs, and the importance of not assuming malice in every disagreement. They also touch on Henry David Thoreau’s seminal essay Walking and our upcoming anthology, Print Ain’t Dead — a collection that draws from nearly 60 years of Mountain Gazette stories.
It’s an insightful, thoughtful episode that connects past and present, reminding us why dialogue, open minds, and strong voices matter.
