WMUK

Our Thanksgiving edition of WestSouthwest is a rebroadcast from earlier this month. We talk with author, actor and Marine veteran Benjamin Busch. 

Busch hosted a series of workshops for veterans and their families called "Talking Service" at Western Michigan University during the fall. In the interview Busch discusses his work as a writer, serving as a marine and being wounded. They also discuss his acting career, including a recurring role on The Wire in between tours in Iraq. 

Gordon Evans became WMUK's Content Director in 2019 after more than 20 years as an anchor, host and reporter. A 1990 graduate of Michigan State, he began work at WMUK in 1996.
