Lucia resigned from 89.3 The Current in April saying she was concerned about equity and fair treatment toward women at the station. She had previously worked at REV 105 and 1500 KSTP.
Dispatch, which launched a print edition the same month Lucia left radio, posted the first of its new columnist's essays on Thursday. In it, Lucia, catches up fans with what she's been doing this summer, a list that includes purchasing a dozen Lambchop squeak toys and microdosing melatonin gummies nightly.
She also addressed her decision to leave the Current.
