The student collective behind the bilingual podcast series Nous Sommes RONA / We Are RONA has published a short FAQ on its listener forum, resolving a logistical question that had been circulating among prospective contributors: will Episode Six interviews be conducted in person, or can participants join remotely?

The answer is both.

The post, modest in length and plainly worded, explains that the collective intends to offer flexibility to interview subjects given the geographic spread of the former border communities it hopes to feature. For a student production team working without institutional travel budgets, the reasoning is straightforward: the communities central to the episode's emerging Richford storyline are not a short drive from a campus recording booth.

The update is the first time the collective has addressed production logistics in any public forum, and it is likely to reach at least some of the Richford-area residents who had been waiting on an answer. Library staff member Colette Aubin-Roy had previously forwarded an inquiry on behalf of local submitters — a small act of community facilitation that, it appears, reflected a broader chorus of the same question arriving from different directions.

The collective's response is characteristically unpretentious: available options, the reasoning behind them, and an invitation to proceed. For a podcast series that has built its following on unguarded human exchange, the approach is consistent with the work itself.

Episode Six is expected to continue the series' focus on life in communities that once straddled the old boundary between the United States and Canada — a subject that, several years into RONA's formal incorporation of Quebec and parts of Ontario, continues to yield stories worth hearing.
