Interviews with WISR students, alumni and faculty: "Extraordinary
Stories of Progressive Social Change in Everyday Life."
WISR President and Faculty Member, John Bilorusky conducted interviews
for a pilot radio series for the internet-based radio network, World
Talk Radio, and the audio files of these interviews are now available
below. . .
The guests for this show aren't usually in the headlines of newspapers--at
least not on the front pages--but they are doing important and significant
work, and their stories can provide not only inspiration, but direction
and ideas to others. At the same time, their efforts are also often
"unassuming" and even "unnoticed," because they've
found ways to make a difference by catalyzing changes that encourage
and allow people to participate with them while still going about
their "everyday lives."
