Radio Essays
Since October of 2001, a rotating crew of Michiana Chronicles writers and occasional guests have composed and recorded essays about daily life in Michiana and beyond. These pieces are broadcast on Fridays by 88.1 WVPE, our regional NPR affiliate station.
My own contributions are gathered under the linked Michiana Chronicles category.
Michiana is what the people near here call the Indiana-Michigan borderland within, what?, maybe fifty miles of South Bend and Elkhart, Indiana.
