Episode Notes

Through her teaching and broadcasting contributions, this week's very special guest has certainly made her mark on the campus of Western Kentucky University! She is Dr. Erika Brady, who spent over three decades serving as a professor in WKU's Department of Folk Studies and Anthropology. Erika is also the long-time host and producer of "Barren River Breakdown", a show featuring a wide range of folk and bluegrass music, heard weekends on WKU Public Radio. Come along as Dr. Brady describes her inspiring educational pursuits, including a degree from HARVARD, and explains how she ultimately found her way to Bowling Green. She also reflects on a few of the courses she taught, details the labor of love invested in each episode of "Barren River Breakdown", and discusses the creative means by which she remains active in her retirement years. After listening to our conversation, I think you'll agree there isn't a whole lot that Dr. Brady hasn't at least attempted!
