INTERVIEW
Journalist Kerry Eleveld's roots are in Grand Rapids even though she's travelled far from her home town as a national journalist. Eleveld was in town recently as the keynote speaker at a local Progressive Women's Alliance fundraiser, and also at a number of other area events. During her recent visit, Eleveld took time to sit down with us at Catalyst Radio to discuss the state of journalism, human rights efforts for the LGBTQ community, and what's next for her career.
MUSIC
Music featured this week is from Michelle Shocked's 2005 release entitled "Don't Ask Don't Tell."
