The weekly podcast Media & Monuments features conversations with industry professionals speaking on a wide range of topics of interest to our region’s media makers.

I have attended workshops on editing, script writing, fund raising and so much more through the tremendous platform of WIFV. My professional story is built around educational media, and I like to think my work is more purposeful – better to serve kids – because WIFV keeps me current on how media is made and distributed. Thank you, WIFV!
