Learn more about the role of journalist as truth teller and change maker with Rex Weyler, pulitzer prize nominated journalist and co-founder of GreenPeace on Folk U radio this week. Rex Weyler was a repeat special guest this year at the Cortes Island Academy and joined host Manda Aufochs Gillespie and student guest hosts from the CIA to talk a bit about his experience as a journalist over the years.
They were joined in the latter part of the show by surprise musical guests (the Awakeneers) for this jam-packed Folk U.
Folk U Radio is taking old school viral every Friday at 1 and Mondays at 6:30 p.m./Wednesday at 6 a.m. @CKTZ89.5FM or livestreamed at cortesradio.ca. Find repeats anytime at www.folku.ca/podcasts.
