Literacy Mic
Literacy Mic is Washtenaw Literacy's podcast where we have conversations about learning. Each season centers around a broad theme and each episode is an interview with a constituent, be they staff, board, learner, or community member about that theme. Our first season is about barriers to learning, with a special introductory episode about Washtenaw Literacy's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work.
