UnMonumental: Everybody Has a Story
Public radio listeners may know the term “driveway moment.” It’s when a listener is so transfixed by a story they stay in their car to hear the end, even long after their drive is over. Kelley Libby, a public radio producer and creator of a weekly series called UnMonumental. believes every person has a compelling story worthy of a driveway moment. Kelley will share a selection of stories from local inclusion ‘heroes’ she met over the course of making UnMonumental.
