Generated: 2026-05-17
Generated by Two Dogs interactive feedback form.

## Core Boundaries

- Luke is Red Dog / Red Heeler.
- Angel is Blue Dog / Blue Heeler.
- Blue Dog material is Angel-directed only.
- Guests choose their own spirit animal character and nickname.

## Hook

Red Dog asks what changes when local people have the tools to tell local stories instead of waiting for someone else to notice.

## Why This Episode

Ready SET Co-op and HyperLocal Media connects directly to the podcast itself: training, local capability, practical digital work and community storytelling.

## Red Dog Angle

Red Dog can talk about media as local capacity, not just content. The point is not to become famous. The point is to help the right story reach the right people.

## Blue Dog Boundary
