An Evening with Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha | In Your Community

WKAR's Radio Manager Peter Whorf recently hosted a National Writers Series event in Traverse City. 

The series explores the world of great writing with authors in conversation from the stage of the historic City Opera House in Traverse City, Michigan. Whorf had the chance to sit down and interview Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha on her recent book What the Eyes Don’t See. The book is a powerful first-hand account of the Flint water crisis, the signature environmental disaster of our time, and a riveting narrative of personal advocacy.

Listen in for a future broadcast of their talk during National Writers Series Sundays at 1 p.m. on AM 870 and 105.1 FM. 

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer?
