The award-winning episode featured an interview with UW-Eau Claire international student Anna Bakhtiyarova. The show is funded with a grant from the UW-Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, a UW System Institute on Race and Ethnicity grant as well as funding from UW-Eau Claire’s department of communication and journalism. Broadcasts will resume Sunday, March 29, from 6-7 p.m. and continue every Sunday evening through May 17 on WUEC, 89.7 FM.
