John Schneider on cultural exchange trip to Cuba

Scott Pohl/WKAR

For almost 25 years, Lansing and mid-Michigan connected through John Schneider's column in the Lansing State Journal. He left the paper in 2012, but new columns appear regularly. Recently, readers took in an account of John’s visit to Cuba, where he encountered “breathtaking scenery and warm people.”Schneider also blogs and is a regular contributor to Bridge Magazine.

Current State guest host Melissa Benmark talks with John Schneider about his impressions of Cuba.
