On this episode, we're joined by Bryan Vance.

Bryan is the founder of Stumptown Savings, a newsletter and website that helps the people of Portland Oregon shop for food smarter. This is a chance for us to talk about creator-model journalism and service journalism.

Bryan talked about the motivation for starting Stumptown Savings (a combination of a Nieman Lab article and getting laid off), what he aims to offer his readers, the creator-model as a way of producing journalism, and much more.
