INTERVIEW

This week on Catalyst Radio we depart from our regular format in order to go live on WYCE for The Rapidian's first-ever fund drive.

We are raising funds this week to help make Grand Rapids' hyperlocal citizen journalism website (therapidian.org) sustainable, and enduring.

Taking turns at the Catalyst Radio microphone are Rapidian staff members Chelsea LaForge (community engagement coordinator), Holly Bechiri (managing editor) and George Wietor (new media specialist for CMC).

 

MUSIC

Local music this week comes from bands either giving their support to The Rapidian’s fund drive, or featured in articles posted to The Rapidian. Included are Valentiger, Midnight Cattle Callers, Ghost Heart, Jimmy Stagger and Alexis.

 

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.

Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.
